How can war be represented on stage? How does the theatre examine the structures leading to violence and war and explore their transformation of societies? Springing from the discussion about 'New Wars' in the age of globalisation, this interdisciplinary study demonstrates how these 'New Wars' bring forth new plays about war.

Julia Boll is a Marie Curie Fellow in literature and theatre at the University of Konstanz's Zukunftskolleg and teaches in the Department of Literature.
