Architectural Involutions
Series: Rethinking the Early Modern
Taking the reader on an inward journey from façades to closets, from physical to psychic space, Architectural Involutions offers an alternative genealogy of theater by revealing how innovations in architectural writing and practice transformed an early modern sense of interiority. As the English house underwent a process of inward folding, replacing a logic of central assembly with one of dissemination, the subject who negotiated this new scenography became a flashpoint of conflict in both domestic and theatrical arenas. Highly praised for its comprehensive supplementary material and engaging tone, Architectural Involutions was the winner of the 2016 MLA Prize for Independent Scholars.
