International & Comparative Criminal Law

Law, Theatre and Authorship

Luke McDonagh, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK This innovative book explores issues of performativity and authorship in the theatre world under copyright law. The first part examines the history of the dramatic work both as text and as performative work; the second considers the notions of authorship and joint authorship under copyright law as they apply to the process of creating plays. The third section analyses copyright infringement in the context of theatre, while the fourth examines how moral rights of attribution and integrity work in theatre. The book concludes with a prescriptive comment on how law and theatre should respond to each other. Edited by Emmanouil Billis, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law, Nandor Knust, University of Tromsø, Norway & Jon Petter Rui, University of Bergen, Norway This edited volume seeks to reassess the old and to analyse and develop novel approaches to the notion of proportionality in criminal matters and the new security architecture. The book offers an interdisciplinary and crossjurisdictional exploration of highly topical, proportionality-related issues pertinent to penal theory and legal philosophy, criminalisation policies, security and anti-terrorism strategies, alternative types of justice delivery, supranational enforcement as well as human rights and international criminal and humanitarian law.
