Come along to the Cambridge University Press bookshop for the book launch of David Wiles’ new book, Democracy, Theatre and Performance: From the Greeks to Gandhi, which will feature the author in conversation with Alan Finlayson. About the book: Democracy, argues David Wiles, is actually a form of theatre. In making his case, the author deftly investigates orators at the foundational moments of ancient and modern democracy, demonstrating how their performative skills were used to try to create a better world. People often complain about demagogues, or wish that politicians might be more sincere. But to do good, politicians (paradoxically) must be hypocrites - or actors. Moving from Athens to Indian independence via three great revolutions – in Puritan England, republican France and liberal America – the book opens up larger questions about the nature of democracy. When in the classical past Plato condemned rhetoric, the only alternative he could offer was authoritarianism. Wiles' bold historical study has profound implications for our present: calls for personal authenticity, he suggests, are not an effective way to counter the rise of populism. 'This fascinating re-reading of political thought and practice questions our political values through the observation of democratic behaviour. Historical debates become performance events. Refreshingly, Wiles interprets the democratic process through a combined exploration of intellectual argument and the theatrical mode of political delivery.'Vicki Ann Cremona, Professor in Theatre Studies, University of Malta 'This impressive study, arguing that democracy and theatre are grounded in the same cultural practices of rhetoric and performativity in ancient Greece, offers the reader important new insights into both of these two phenomena as parallel working experimental laboratories in social interaction.'Marvin Carlson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, The Graduate Center, City University of New York 'Democracy is a spectacle as well as a practice, as much the province of rhetoric as it is of political science. In this fascinating book, David Wiles uses the techniques of theatrical performance and sheds unusual light on democratic politics.'Philip Collins, columnist, The Times and former Chief Speech Writer to Prime Minister Tony Blair Accessibility Information Seating is available for 40 attendees (maximum) plus standing space. Some views may be partially obstructed by architectural columns, bookshelves, etc. but we aim to minimise this where possible. Space will be made available for wheelchair users. Access is via main entrance from street level and there are not steps or ledges. There are 2 single-person bathrooms, including one large enough to fit a wheelchair with the door closed. Please get in touch if you have particular needs that you would like us to consider in advance. Information Source: CUP Bookshop | eventbrite

“Akhmatova's Orphans. Disassembly” (2024) is a documentary that follows four Leningrad poets — Joseph Brodsky, Evgenii Rein, Anatoly Naiman, and Dmitrii Bobyshev — whom Anna Akhmatova called her “magic choir.” After her death, they became known as the “Akhmatova orphans.” In this film directed by Yuri Leving, the poets reflect on the origins of the “orphans” myth, their literary careers, and the fractures in their friendships. It is a story of memory, poetry, and the passage of time. Information Source: Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies | eventbrite

Secular music from 16th C Rome. Composers including de Macque, Locatelli, Zoilo, Ferrabosco, Marenzio, Anerio. L’Isola always aim to sing directly from original 16th Century partbooks. Much of this repertoire is likely never to have been heard on the concert platform in the UK, prior to this performance. The Roman Compagnia were an informal association (effectively an Italian academy) in the 1580s which included many of the finest musicians present in Rome during this period. Italian academies allowed artistic patrons and enthusiasts the opportunity to hear, discuss or analyse music in the finest houses and palaces; an environment not too dissimilar from our collegiate one nowadays. The Compagnia are specifically referenced in a 1589 print (Le Gioie) but the academic consensus is that the group existed in a more informal manner from the 1570s onwards. This concert will include brief talks about the ensemble, their music, and the cultural conditions of its time and place. Tickets£20 General Admission, £15 Clare Hall members, £5 students. Useful informationPlease note that tickets for Clare Hall's concerts are non-refundable within 7 days of the event.
