Isidore Diala's festschrift for Esiaba Irobi, Syncretic Arenas: Essays on Postcolonial African Drama and Theatre for Esiaba Irobi can be viewed through a number of critical lenses. At one level, one could consider how the volume captures the nature of Esiaba Irobi's work as poet, dramatist, theatre and film scholar, as distilled through the interviews, essays, poems and tributes collected in this book. On another level, the book provides a discursive platform for scholars of transcultural studies across the world to articulate a myriad forms of performative and choreographic epistemes. Irobi had grappled with some of these modes of cultural knowledge in his short but eventful life before his death on April 4, 2010. At this level the festschrift becomes a scholarly festival, literally highlighting a diverse critical mass of ideas, some historical others theoretical, that represent Africa's theatre culture. Helen Gilbert captures this in the book's incisive Foreword when she writes that 'the substance of this volume comes from, and sometimes via, such a wide array of places - Ghana, Germany, the UK, Nigeria, South Africa, Canada, Kenya and the USA - that indicates the international reach of African theatre and dramaturgy' (p. xvii).

综合舞台:埃西亚巴·伊罗比关于后殖民非洲戏剧和戏剧的文章

伊西多尔·迪亚拉 (Isidore Diala) 为埃西亚巴·伊罗比 (Syncretic Arenas) 撰写的节庆文集:埃西亚巴·伊罗比 (Esiaba Irobi) 的后殖民非洲戏剧和戏剧散文可以通过许多批判性镜头来观看。在一个层面上,人们可以考虑这本书如何通过本书收集的采访、散文、诗歌和悼词来提炼出埃西亚巴·伊罗比作为诗人、剧作家、戏剧和电影学者的作品的本质。在另一个层面上,这本书为世界各地的跨文化研究学者提供了一个话语平台,以阐明无数形式的表演和舞蹈知识。在 2010 年 4 月 4 日去世之前,伊罗比在他短暂而多事的一生中努力解决了其中一些文化知识模式。在这个层面上,节日文集变成了一个学术节日,从字面上突出了各种批判性的思想,一些历史上的其他理论,代表非洲的戏剧文化。海伦吉尔伯特在书中精辟的前言中捕捉到了这一点,她写道:“本书的内容来自,有时是通过,如此广泛的地方——加纳、德国、英国、尼日利亚、南非、加拿大、肯尼亚和美国 - 这表明非洲戏剧和戏剧的国际影响力'(第十七页)。
