  • Setting the Stage: a Materialist Semiotic Analysis Of
    SETTING THE STAGE: A MATERIALIST SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY BENGALI GROUP THEATRE FROM KOLKATA, INDIA by ARNAB BANERJI (Under the Direction of Farley Richmond) ABSTRACT This dissertation studies select performance examples from various group theatre companies in Kolkata, India during a fieldwork conducted in Kolkata between August 2012 and July 2013 using the materialist semiotic performance analysis. Research into Bengali group theatre has overlooked the effect of the conditions of production and reception on meaning making in theatre. Extant research focuses on the history of the group theatre, individuals, groups, and the socially conscious and political nature of this theatre. The unique nature of this theatre culture (or any other theatre culture) can only be understood fully if the conditions within which such theatre is produced and received studied along with the performance event itself. This dissertation is an attempt to fill this lacuna in Bengali group theatre scholarship. Materialist semiotic performance analysis serves as the theoretical framework for this study. The materialist semiotic performance analysis is a theoretical tool that examines the theatre event by locating it within definite material conditions of production and reception like organization, funding, training, availability of spaces and the public discourse on theatre. The data presented in this dissertation was gathered in Kolkata using: auto-ethnography, participant observation, sample survey, and archival research. The conditions of production and reception are each examined and presented in isolation followed by case studies. The case studies bring the elements studied in the preceding section together to demonstrate how they function together in a performance event. The studies represent the vast array of theatre in Kolkata and allow the findings from the second part of the dissertation to be tested across a variety of conditions of production and reception.

However the time has come to reflect on the social determinants of health such as disability, food insecurity, educational barriers, poverty, unemployment, housing instability, gender inequality which have been silently pushing persons on the brink into the deep crevices of despair. While the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set an ambitious objective to end poverty, protecting the planet and improving people’s lives, the goals are not expected to be met until 2082, according to the 2020 Social Progress Index 1. With COVID-19, the index pushes that end-date out another decade to 2092 – 60 years beyond the 2030 target date. This is supported by the World Bank, which forecasts in June 2020 the pandemic will shrink the global economy by 5-8%, potentially pushing a further 100 million people below the international extreme poverty line 2.
