Drama, Power, and Planetary Care: A Decolonial Textbook for English Department - Cantrik

Drama, Power, and Planetary Care: A Decolonial Textbook for English Departments offers a critical rethinking of drama education in the context of planetary crisis, social inequality, and the colonial legacy of knowledge in higher education. Challenging the dominance of Eurocentric drama canons and text-centered approaches, this book repositions drama as an ethical, political, and pedagogical practice deeply embedded in relations of power, language, culture, and ecology. Grounded in decolonial theory, intersectionality, applied drama, and planetary health perspectives, the textbook invites students and lecturers to examine how performance shapes representation, silencing, resistance, and care. Drawing on Global South dramaturgies, Indonesian social realities, and Islamic ethical principles such as khalifah, amanah, justice, and rahmah, the book integrates drama studies with ecological responsibility and social transformation. Bridging theory and praxis, Drama, Power, and Planetary Care offers dialogic pedagogies, participatory performance models, and community-based approaches aligned with Merdeka Belajar–Kampus Merdeka (MBKM). Topics include eco-drama, intersectional representation, multilingual performance, disaster and trauma theatre, and ethics of care in drama classrooms. Each chapter supports reflective learning, critical inquiry, and applied projects that connect drama education to real-world social and environmental challenges. Designed for undergraduate students and lecturers in English Departments, Literature, and Education programs, this textbook is an invitation to teach and practice drama not merely as performance, but as a form of ethical engagement—one that listens to marginalized voices, nurtures planetary care, and imagines more just and sustainable futures.
