Spectacles Of Reform: Theater And Activism In Nineteenth-Century America By Amy E. Hughes (Review), Jocelyn Buckner
Spectacles Of Reform: Theater And Activism In Nineteenth-Century America By Amy E. Hughes (Review), Jocelyn Buckner
Theatre Faculty Articles and Research
In Spectacles of Reform Amy Hughes advocates for “spectacle as methodology” (4), a means of interpreting spectacle in nineteenth-century melodrama, as well as a wide variety of other media, that rehearses and reforms concepts of citizenship and identity related to race, class, gender, and morality. Through this lens, Hughes seeks to answer the questions “where and how do activist spectacles appear before and beyond the theatrical encounter?” and “why is spectacle kept alive through reinvention, revision, and repetition long after the drama is over?” (5). Hughes traces her theory of the spectacular instant through three popular sensation themes of the …

"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 …

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 …

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 …
