Many narratives of theater history suggest that the 1960s marked the start of a turning away from traditional, script-based, playwright-centric production practices. Literary studies in this period began exploring the concept of the “death of the author” along similar lines. But the author refused to die quietly, and authorship reasserts itself in even revolutionary and avant-garde theaters throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. The model of authorship—valorizing individuality, ownership, and originality—serves to maintain traditional modes of production that reproduce and uphold dominant ideologies even when the products created by those modes of production claim to buck tradition or run counter to cultural currents. This ideology of authorship plays a part in playwrights shutting down productions of their own plays, in the privileging of individual authorship over joint authorship even in collaborative genres, and in the insistence on originality even in performance traditions rooted in a shared repertoire. This tension between the theoretical death of the author and the growth of actual authors’ abilities to control access to and even in some cases interpretations of their work exposes the deftness with which dominant ideologies and their attendant modes of production can repurpose the aesthetics of even countercultural or revolutionary movements in theater.
A Political Philosophy of Language and State

This book is a study of political philosophy concerning the relationship between language and state. It argues that language gives origin to the state. Its main idea is that while humans communicate using language, they create and use media. Media extend the distance of communication. These media include humans themselves, materials, human behaviour and consciousness. Humans then interact on a large scale and form a large community. This leads to the dissolution of the tribe and the formation of the state. Then, people seek and provide information, give interpretations, display attitudes, and make promises in organizing the state. Some people also issue commands. They all act through the various types of linguistic communication. Language is also the key to realizing freedom, equality, peace, democracy and justice. This book can be a reference book of political philosophy or political science or political linguistics to be read by university students and professors alike.
