Truthful portrayals force consideration of both the startling reality of women‘s violence — not how it‘s been sensationalized or demonized or sexualized, but how it .is .— and what parameters, what possibilities, .should .exist for its enactment in life and live theatre. These women appear in a wide array of contexts: they are mothers, daughters, lovers, streetfighters, boxers, soldiers, and dominatrixes. Who they are and why they choose to use violence varies dramatically. They stage resistance and challenge normative expectations for women. This fascinating and balanced study will appeal to anyone interested in gender/feminism issues and theatre. | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | Gender; Psychology; Sociology; Feminism; Sex; Dramaturgy; Theatrical style | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-57006-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-86054-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-57006-8 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 |
