"Spectacular Opacities": The Hyers Sisters' Performances Of Respectability And Resistance, Jocelyn Buckner
"Spectacular Opacities": The Hyers Sisters' Performances Of Respectability And Resistance, Jocelyn Buckner
Theatre Faculty Articles and Research
This essay analyzes the Hyers Sisters, a Reconstruction-era African American sister act, and their radical efforts to transcend social limits of gender, class, and race in their early concert careers and three major productions, Out of Bondage and Peculiar Sam, or The Underground Railroad, two slavery-to-freedom epics, and Urlina, the African Princess, the first known African American play set in Africa. At a time when serious, realistic roles and romantic plotlines featuring black actors were nearly nonexistent due to the country’s appetite for stereotypical caricatures, the Hyers Sisters used gender passing to perform opposite one another as heterosexual lovers in …
The Angel And The Imp: The Duncan Sisters’ Performances Of Race And Gender, Jocelyn Buckner
The Angel And The Imp: The Duncan Sisters’ Performances Of Race And Gender, Jocelyn Buckner
Theatre Faculty Articles and Research
From 1923 to 1959 Vivian and Rosetta Duncan performed the show Topsy and Eva in front of thousands of audiences in the United States and abroad. This essay examines how the Duncan Sisters’ appropriation of blackness through a yin and yang performance of black and white womanhood, their sexualized but ultimately infantilizing routine as young girls, and their take on anarchistic comedy resulted in a particular spin on age, gender, race, and sexuality that reinforced their privilege as white women even while it pushed the boundaries of acceptable femininity in the swiftly shifting American culture of the first half of …
Acting Virtuous: Chastity, Theatricality, And The Tragedie Of Mariam, Kent Lehnhof
Acting Virtuous: Chastity, Theatricality, And The Tragedie Of Mariam, Kent Lehnhof
English Faculty Books and Book Chapters
Given the interrelation of female chastity and female theatricality in early modem discourses, it comes as no surprise that both figure importantly in what is believed to be the first original English drama to be written by a woman. As Elizabeth Cary explores a Jewish queen 's sexual purity in The Tragedie of Mariam, she does so by concentrating on questions of performance. Cary's title character explicitly abjures theatricality even as she embraces chastity, creating a fissure in Renaissance discourses on women that threatens to swallow up the antifeminist idea that female chastity is always an act.

Strange Duets: Impressarios And Actresses In The American Theatre, 1865-1914 (Review), Jocelyn Buckner
Strange Duets: Impressarios And Actresses In The American Theatre, 1865-1914 (Review), Jocelyn Buckner
Theatre Faculty Articles and Research
"In Strange Duets: Impresarios and Actresses in the American Theatre, 1865-1914, Kim Marra invites readers into the tumultuous world of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century theatre through an examination of the on-and-off stage relationships between leading ladies and the men who claimed to have fashioned their success. The text is a pièce de résistance of intersectional historical scholarship, analyzing the ways race, class, gender, and sexuality both influenced and were influenced by the relationships forged between men and women of the theatre during the wax and wane of Victorian sentiment, the emergence of Darwinian theories on evolution, and the rise of …

Incest And Empire In The Faerie Queene, Kent Lehnhof
Incest And Empire In The Faerie Queene, Kent Lehnhof
English Faculty Articles and Research
"When considered in the context of Elizabeth's effort to silence all discussion of incest, Edmund Spenser's courtly epic aiming to cultivate favor with the monarch looks like a disastrous miscalculation, for incest appears throughout The Faerie Queene. Indeed, incest sits at the center (both literally and figuratively) of the Book of Chastity, the very book wherein Spenser encourages Elizabeth 'in mirrours more then one her selfe to see.' In the present essay, I investigate the apparently illogical and impolitic prominence afforded to incest in book three of The Faerie Queene, ultimately arguing that the imperialist logic underpinning the epic is …
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 …

'Rather Say I Play The Man I Am': Shakespeare's Coriolanus And Elizabethan Anti-Theatricality, Kent Lehnhof
'Rather Say I Play The Man I Am': Shakespeare's Coriolanus And Elizabethan Anti-Theatricality, Kent Lehnhof
English Faculty Books and Book Chapters
In the second act of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, the hero is informed that his acceptance as a Roman consul is dependent upon donning the robe of humility and petitioning the common people in the market-place for their ratifying vote. Coriolanus recoils from the custom, outraged at the idea of acting a part—complete with costume, dialogue, and stage directions— that does not correspond with his inner truth. At this moment and others, Coriolanus echoes the anti-theatricalist rhetoric of Elizabethan pamphleteers like the popular and prolific Stephen Gosson. In many ways, Coriolanus serves as a stand-in for the anti-theatrical ideology of Gosson and …

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 …
