Sweat Equity: Lynn Nottage's Radical Dialectic Of Deindustrialization, Jocelyn L. Buckner
Sweat Equity: Lynn Nottage's Radical Dialectic Of Deindustrialization, Jocelyn L. Buckner
Theatre Faculty Books and Book Chapters
"Lynn Nottage has devoted her career to researching and telling stories of Black individuals and communities with expressed interest in laborers, advocating for their agency, humanity, and legacy. In her second Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Sweat, Nottage dramatizes more recent US history, illuminating the lives of workers marginalized by the deindustrialization of the Rust Belt in the early 2000s. Sweat is emblematic of Nottage's sustained effort to deploy playwriting as activism and stand in solidarity with those whose stories she chooses to tell. As a constant theme in her works, Lynn Nottage's stories align with marginalized workers' efforts and histories, …
Marina Y Cleopatra En El Escenario Teatral, Jon Paul Lawton
Marina Y Cleopatra En El Escenario Teatral, Jon Paul Lawton
World Languages and Cultures Student Papers and Posters
Cleopatra and Doña Marina come from distinct time periods in world history— respectively, the declining Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt and the age of the Spanish conquest. Literature has been inspired by these historical figures, creating various interpretations of this Egyptian queen and Aztec translator. Fundamentally, these two personalities share similarities: both women fall in love with foreign invaders and harness influence in the political arena of their times. For this, they must rectify their romantic desires with loyalty for their home countries. The plays Todos los gatos son pardos by Carlos Fuentes and Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare reveal …
La Teoría Del “Generolecto” Observada En La Llamada De Lauren De Paloma Pedrero Y Entre Villa Y Una Mujer Desnuda De Sabina Berman, Thomas Tsai
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
Created and popularized by Deborah Tannen, the Genderlect Theory explains how through social contexts, men and women have different ways of communicating. According to Tannen, men focus more on status, while women focus more on forming connections. On the other hand, there is also machismo, the behavior and attitude men partake to show that they are “manly” or “superior” to women and others they deem as inferior. Through the literary theatrical works, "La llamada de Lauren" by Paloma Pedrero and "Entre Villa y una mujer" desnuda by Sabina Berman, we can see similarities and differences in the Genderlect Theory and …

El Paseo De José Moreno Arenas: Fotografiando Los Rincones Lorquianos Con Una Lente Miope En Federico, En Carne Viva, Polly J. Hodge
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Books and Book Chapters
"Un gallo con su canto de quiquiriquí es la primera imagen que pinta Federico García Lorca en su obra breve escrita en 1925, El paseo de Buster Keaton. Un estudioso de esta obra de Lorca ha interpretado esta imagen simbólicamente en términos históricos: el anuncio de un nuevo amanecer para la industria cinematográfica, ya que en 1927 el cine mudo experimentó su transición al cine sonoro (Allen 23) .1 De una manera semejante, aunque se abre sin quiquiriquí, la obra Federico, en carne viva (2019)2 anuncia una nueva etapa en la producción teatral de José Moreno Arenas. Este experto en …
Antitheatricality And Irrationality: An Alternative View, Kent Lehnhof
Antitheatricality And Irrationality: An Alternative View, Kent Lehnhof
English Faculty Articles and Research
"Over the last three decades, antitheatrical authors like Stephen Gosson, Phillip Stubbes, and William Prynne have become increasingly visible in the literary and cultural studies of the early modern period. Even so, the tendency has been to treat these authors as ideological extremists: reactionary hacks whose opposition to stage plays originates in outrageous ideas of the self, impossible notions of right and wrong, and bizarre beliefs about humanity’s susceptibility to external suggestion. This characterization can be traced back to several of the pioneering studies in the field, including Jonas Barish’s The Antitheatrical Prejudice (1985) and Laura Levine’s Men in Women’s …
"Pitiful Creature Of Darkness": The Subhuman And The Superhuman In The Phantom Of The Opera, Jessica Sternfeld
"Pitiful Creature Of Darkness": The Subhuman And The Superhuman In The Phantom Of The Opera, Jessica Sternfeld
Music Faculty Books and Book Chapters
"This chapter focuses on The Phantom of the Opera, the megamusical that perhaps most boldly faces the idea of disability head-on, as it stars a character whose face, as one journalist described it, looks 'like melted cheese' (Smith, 1995). The musical's approach to the Phantom's disability is remarkably layered and inconsistent; the Phantom is portrayed in numerous ways (monster, criminal, genius, god, ghost) and his physical disability blurs regularly with his 'soul;' which is where numerous characters locate the origin of his problems. His face and its famous mask covering are both feared and thrilled over, but with a reassuring …
Mind+Body: An Ethnodrama About Adolescent And Young Adult Oncology, Jake Russell Thompson
Mind+Body: An Ethnodrama About Adolescent And Young Adult Oncology, Jake Russell Thompson
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
The first thing many people think of as a “cancer patient” tends to be an elderly person, or perhaps a child too young to understand what’s happening — pink ribbons and fundraising walks, weak and feeble bodies too sick and delicate to function. These notions of a “quintessential cancer patient” are both limiting in their scope of what the disease actually is, and isolating to younger people going through it. For people who don’t fit this predetermined idea of the psychological, physical, and emotional development of a cancer patient (specifically, the seventeen to thirty-five age range), isolation becomes another side …
The Rape Of Blanche: An Examination Of Critical Analysis & Sexist Overtones, Audrey Thayer
The Rape Of Blanche: An Examination Of Critical Analysis & Sexist Overtones, Audrey Thayer
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
The first people to ever listen to the words of A Streetcar Named Desire were two women, Margo Jones and Joanna Albus. Tennessee Williams read them an uncompleted first draft of the play. Margo Jones was “supportive of the play but urged him to rewrite it and to soften Blanche's hysteria. He listened, and ignored her” (Rader 199). The very first people who were privy to the violent, sensual, chaotic world of Blanche and Stanley were two women who found fault in Stella's character. They saw her hysteria, no doubt an unbecoming trait, as “far out,” or perhaps unbelievable. Much …

La Intertextualidad Y Sus Metáforas Literarias En La Balada De La Cárcel De Circe: El Escenario Encarcelado Y El Texto De Liberación, Polly J. Hodge
La Intertextualidad Y Sus Metáforas Literarias En La Balada De La Cárcel De Circe: El Escenario Encarcelado Y El Texto De Liberación, Polly J. Hodge
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Articles and Research
"En el presente estudio nos interesa considerar la conexión entre la literatura y el teatro y, en especial, en relación a la obra La balada de la cárcel de Circe, dirigida por Elena Cánovas. Una de las preguntas que motiva esta investigación es: ¿Cuál es el papel de la literatura, de la intertexttialidad literaria, en el universo teatral? Se postula que el intertexto literario se comunica con la representación teatral de una manera metafórica, dando lugar a la expresión de una metáfora que tiene la capacidad de revelar comentarios importantes sobre la esfera cultural de la obra. Respecto de La …

El Teatro Español En El Fesitval Iberoamericano De Teatro (Fit) De Cádiz: La Sociedad En Una Bañera, Polly J. Hodge
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Articles and Research
"Desde 1985 el Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro (FIT) tiene su cita anual en Cádiz y se enorgullece de ofrecer muestras de teatro de España y de muchos países latinoamericanos que ejemplifican lo último en las técnicas escénicas contemporáneas. Según el Boletín Informativo Municipal de 1996, el festival ofrece lo mejor de las Artes Escénicas de Espaiia e Iberoamérica y "apuesta por la calidad de los espectáculos frente a la cantidad de los mismos" (9). Lo que en general se destaca en estas obras es su abandono del aspecto verbal como el medio de comunicación principal. La imagen visual, gestos, ritmos …
