Action : anthropology in the company of Shakespeare

An anthropological study of play-acting. Kirsten Hastrup aims at a renewed understanding of action and motivation within any social setting. By listening to such experts of action as the players of Shakespeare, we achieve a comprehensive reappraisal of current notions of human agency.
