Arguing that existing modernization theories have been unnecessarily one-sided, Hedwig Fraunhofer offers a rewriting of modernity that cuts across binary methodologies nature and culture, mind and matter, epistemology and ontology, critique and affirmative writing, dramatic and postdramatic theatre. She specifically reworks the biopolitical exclusions that mark modern western epistemology, leading up to modernity's totalitarian crisis point.Fraunhofer reveals the performativity of theatre in its double sense as theatrical production and as the intra-activity of a dynamic system of multiple relations between human and more-than-human actors, energies and affects. In modern theatre, public and private, human and more-than-human, materiality and meaning collapse in a common life.
Hedwig (Hedy) Fraunhofer is Professor of French and German in the Department of World Languages & Cultures at Georgia College (U.S.). Working at the intersection of Comparative Literature, Drama and Theatre Studies, and Philosophy, she has published on the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, poststructuralism, new materialist philosophy, European drama, and the novelist Daniel Kehlmann.
