Performing media: mediologia del teatro e proto-transmedialità nel pensiero di Raymond Williams 1952 – 1954
Abstract
This paper intends to address, in an introductory form, the thinking about theater and the drama of the British sociologist Raymond Williams. Williams' work between 1952 and 1954 is based on the attempt to think of theater within the mechanisms of the cultural industry. In particular, Williams tries to read the drama as an intermedial and transmedial form ante litteram. Following the evolution of the sociologist's thought it is possible to derive a series of concepts, a toolbox, useful for understanding the theater within the digital mediascapes. these concepts can be linked to some assumptions of theater mediology. Our work intends to sound along and give a first account of these concepts starting from two books: Drama: From Ibsen to Brecht and Drama in Performance.
