About the Author :
Mark Pizzato is Associate Professor of Theatre at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the author of Edges of Loss: From Modern Drama to Postmodern Theory.

Review :
"In addressing the problematic effects of dramatic violence, the author treats the subject not only historically as violence has unfolded in external performances in ritual sacrifice, gladiatorial sports, as well as theatre but also as it unfolds within the mind." - Joseph Natoli, author of Memory's Orbit: Film and Culture 1999-2000 "This is a pathbreaking and definitive investigation of the cultural work that spectacles of violent sacrifice have performed in a multitude of historical contexts. Through this investigation, Mark Pizzato provides a new framework for understanding the spectacle of violent sacrifice as the location where cultural and political debate plays itself out." - Todd McGowan, author of The End of Dissatisfaction? Jacques Lacan and the Emerging Society of Enjoyment
