OMOERA (Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Nigeria) 2011 • Pages: 160 • Size: 180x240 • ISBN 81-85264-61-9 • Binding: Hard • PRICE: US$ 40/- Rs. 1150/- (Anthropologist Special Issue No. 9)
Media and Theatre Arts Studies are increasingly wielding powerful influences in contemporary societies. It is against this multifaceted humanistic backdrop of this burgeoning rib of scholarship that this edition,
The Anthropologist Special Volume 9 – Contemporary Discourses on Media and Theatre Arts Studies in Nigeria was conceived.
Without any doubt, myriads of religio-political revolutionary changes are taking place across the globe. Have the Media and Theatre Arts Studies any contributions to make in social engineering and development matters? What is the state of research on this field in the Nigerian culture space? These are the kernels of this edition.
This book has about twenty chapters unevenly spread over different areas of Theatre and Media Arts Studies which were contributed by scholars in the different strands of the discipline across all regions of Nigeria.
It is hoped that this compendium will titillate the intellectual antennae of researchers who are interested in Nigerian Media and Theatre Arts scholarship. CONTENTS
