This groundbreaking volume of critical essays about popular entertainments brings together the work of eighteen established, emerging, and independent scholars with backgrounds in Archives, Theatre and Performance, Music, and Historical Studies, currently working across five continents. The first of its kind to examine popular entertainments from a global and multi-disciplinary perspective, this collection examines a broad cross-section of historical and contemporary popular entertainment forms from Australia, England, Japan, North America, and South Africa, and considers their social, cultural and political significance. Despite the vibrant, complex, and ubiquitous nature of popular entertainments, the field has suffered from a lack of sustained academic attention. Nevertheless, popular entertainments have a global reach and a transnational significance at odds with the fact that the meaning and definition of both ‘popular’ and ‘entertainment’ remain widely contested. Since the late-nineteenth century, class-based prejudices in Western culture have championed the superiority of art and literature over the dubious and fleeting pleasures of ‘entertainment.’ Similarly, the term ‘popular’ has carried pejorative connotations, indicating something common and outside the conventional and highbrow productions of the purpose-built theatre house or concert hall. Irrespective of whether ‘popular’ is code for a cultural product with a folk origin, or a term indicating the mass appeal of a cultural product, this volume’s re-assessment of popular entertainments from a global perspective is timely. The performance research embodied in this volume was first discussed at A World of Popular Entertainments International Conference (University of Newcastle, Australia, 2009) in response to a multi-disciplinary call for scholars to explore a variety of topics relevant to the study of popular entertainments.

"Popular Entertainment: Performance and Spectacle, Culture and Competition" introduces students to the ways in which performance, spectacle, culture and competition influence not only various forms of popular entertainment, but society's interactions and choices when producing and receiving such entertainment. The book is divided into four parts. Part One focuses on theories concerning industry and spectacle, performance, and adaptation. Part Two discusses convergence theory and then applies the four theories to three familiar forms of entertainment - circus, theatre, and film. The third part of the text presents case studies on cultural tourism and discusses the point at which cultural traditions and rituals are transformed into entertainment for public consumption. Part Four considers when competition becomes performance, as manifested on the global cultural stage that is the Olympic Games. Competition as entertainment is also examined within the context of college sports, and reality programming. "Popular Entertainment" is written for lower-division general education courses in Traditions and Cultures. It is also an excellent supplemental text for courses in the history of the theatre, theatre arts, and the social impact of entertainment. Barbara McKean, Ph.D. is Associate Professor and Associate Director for the School of Theatre, Film and Television at the University of Arizona where she teaches courses in Acting, Popular Entertainment, Theatre Appreciation, Improvisation, and Collaborative Play Development. Dr. McKean's research focuses on the role of the teaching artist in arts education, and the preparation of beginning actors and teaching artists. Before teaching at the university level, Dr. McKean was a professional actress and teaching artist. She served as Director of Education at the Seattle Children's Theatre, and as Artistic Director of the Seattle Peace Theatre where she directed collaborative works between young people and artists from Seattle, Moscow, Tashkent, and Zurich. Her book, "A Teaching Artist at Work," was published by Heinemann in 2006. Carrie J. Cole, Ph.D. teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Theatre History and Dramaturgy in the School of Theatre, Film and Television at the University of Arizona.
