Little (White) Women: Locating Whiteness In (De)Constructions Of The American Female From Alcott To Split Britches, Courtney Mohler
Little (White) Women: Locating Whiteness In (De)Constructions Of The American Female From Alcott To Split Britches, Courtney Mohler
Scholarship and Professional Work – Arts
In 1988, the feminist/lesbian performance group Split Britches performed a deconstruction of Louisa May Alcott’s canonical Little Women. Their play, Little Women, the Tragedy (LWTT) highlighted the division within the feminist movement at the time over pornography, and called into question the norms of morality and feminine virtue reflected in and by Alcott’s classic ‘American girls’ novel.’ The play, however, illustrates a problematic construction of feminist/lesbian identity as outside of racial discourse. This paper argues that feminist performances which aim to deconstruct gender and sexuality should also be examined in terms of racialization; the common omission of …

El Teatro De La Época Democrática, Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
La trayectoria del teatro contemporáneo en España es una historia de supervivencia. Entre las múltiples capas y campos que componen el paisaje teatral de la época democrática, la palabra «crisis» quizá sea la que se repite con más frecuencia, como si fuera una especie de mantra que persiste en la punta de la lengua, lista para ser pronunciada con tanta facilidad e incluso con tanto entusiasmo por tantos profesionales de las artes escénicas que habría que preguntarse si podría ser un milagro que la revolución tecnológica contemporánea -junto con los dilemas perpetuos que han surgido en torno a las subvenciones …

Teatre (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana)), Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
L'activitat teatral entre 1959 i 1991 està marcada pels intents de creació d'un teatre nacional a partir dels grups independents i, després del 1975, amb el suport institucional. Moltes de les iniciatives del teatre independent, allunyades del teatre espanyol comercial, professional i/o «oficial» del moment, tingueren l'origen en l'Agrupació Dramàtica de Barcelona (establerta el 1955 per Ferran Soldevila, amb un divers grup d'artistes), el Teatre Viu (creat el 1956 per Ricard Salvat, Miquel Porter i Elena Estellés) i l'Escola d'Art Dramàtic Adrià Gual, que havien fundat Salvat i Maria Aurèlia Capmany el 1960. En aquests nuclis es formaren Josep Anton …

Rodolf Sirera (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana), Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
En aquest clima de revulsió cosmopolita, Rodolf Sirera (València 1948) és el màxim representant de la dramatúrgia textual del País Valencia. De fet hi ha una relació molt notable entre, per una banda, el desenvolupament contemporani del teatre valencià i, per l'altra, els esforços i temptatives de Rodolf Sirera i el seu germà Josep Lluís de promoure, valorar i sostenir les arts escèniques en aquest país (Bou 1988d). Com assenyala John London al seu resum detallat de l'activitat teatral dels germans Sirera, si l'autor teatral català a Barcelona es trobava obligat a enfrontar-se amb nombroses dificultats, la situació a València …

Josep M. Benet I Jornet (Panorama Crític De La Literatura Catalana), Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
L'aportació de Josep M. Benet i Jornet (Barcelona 1940) al renaixement del teatre de text és indiscutible. Es podria afirmar que Benet i Jornet és el dramaturg en vida més reconegut i estrenat de Catalunya; tanmateix, els estudis crítics a l’entorn de la seva obra han demostrat que la seva trajectòria creativa consisteix també en una història àrdua de lluita constant per defensar i reivindicar la literatura dramàtica en català i la figura de l'autor teatral en general. Com passa sovint amb els autors teatrals catalans contemporanis, gran part dels estudis dedicats al teatre de Benet es concentren en diversos …

Manuel Molins: Una Altra Ofèlia I Els Fantasmes De Shakespeare, Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
L'apropiació i reinscripció que de Hamlet ha fet Manuel Molins, titulada Una altra Ofèlia (2001, estrenada al Teatre Rialto de València el 2004), comença, com a l'obra de Shakespeare, amb l'aparició d'un fantasma. A la primera de les nou escenes, el personatge d'Ofèlia explica a la falstaffiana I pitonissa I herborista Dida (personatge síntesi que és el resum de molts personatges shakespearians) un somni que ha tingut i en el transcurs del qual ha presenciat la manifestació d'un espectre en l'esplanada del castell. D'alguna manera, des del moment que comença l’obra, Ofèlia sembla haver usurpat el paper de Hamlet, ja …

The Sacred Performative: Holy Wednesday And Colonial Ritual/Theatre, Christopher B. Swift
The Sacred Performative: Holy Wednesday And Colonial Ritual/Theatre, Christopher B. Swift
Publications and Research
"Holy Wednesday" is a late sixteenth century adaptation of a Spanish auto sacramental (sacred play) written in alphabetized Nahuatl, the predominant pre-Columbian language spoken on the High Central Plateau of Mexico. The author remains unknown, however he was likely a Nahua amanuensis educated by Franciscans at Colegio de Santa Cruz in Tlatelolco. Religious drama was one of the important evangelizing tools of the Catholic brotherhoods in colonial Mexico and although a record of performance of Holy Wednesday does not exist, this dramatic depiction of the final meeting of Christ and Mary prior to the crucifixion was almost certainly performed as …

Taking Liberties, Matt Kozusko
English and Creative Writing Faculty Publications
The 'place' scholars have assigned to the stage in early modern London is as much a reflection of the procedures of contemporary literary criticism as a reflection of the cultural function of popular drama in the early modern period. Modern critics are often not engaged in re-examining available data, preferring instead to rest on a conjectural paradigm or heuristic that has hardened, over the past couple of decades, into a New Historicist version of 'fact'. Critics have collapsed boundaries and important distinctions in London jurisdiction and geography in the interest of a unified critical narrative that characterizes the theatre as …

En els darrers anys, al paisatge político-cultural que envolta Barcelona no li han faltat els seus bans moments de melodrama, d'acusacions enceses i de rampells d'histèria, que s'han pogut presenciar sobre i fora de l'escenari, tant a nivell públic com privat. Efectivament, en el món teatral català no és gens estrany que la vida real es confongui amb la de l'espectacle, oferint-nos reiteradament exemples del que el director Albert Boadella, al seu assaig El rapto de Talía, anomena el «virus exhibicionista» o «frenesí» que ha assetjat la societat contemporània. A Barcelona, com a altres llocs del món occidental, un dels …

'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 …

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
Ya que estamos llegando al final (o, al desenlace) del siglo XX, casi se ha convertido en tópico la idea de señalar - semiológicamente hablando - la relación dinámica que existe en el teatro entre el texto y la representación de ese texto. Si vuelvo una vez más a esta dicotomía histórica, no es para establecer- como han hecho algunos semiólogos un modelo comunicativo que plantee la posibilidad de una relación dialéctica entre los dos términos, sino para observar hasta qué punto el teatro posmodernista plantea una ausencia y una imposibilidad de tal relación. Anne Ubersfeld propone la posibilidad de …
Perlimplín: Lorca's Drama About Theatre, Sharon G. Feldman
Perlimplín: Lorca's Drama About Theatre, Sharon G. Feldman
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
The contemplation of a theatrical work as a type of semiotizing machine which generates a network of signification systems, implies, a priori, the task of specifying the boundaries which define the object of analysis. Hence the dichotomy of text and performance has long been recognized as uniquely inherent in the theatre genre and, therefore, a logical preoccupation of the theatre semiotician. As indicated by contemporary theoretical work (such as that of Patrice Pavis and Anne Ubersfeld), it would appear that the role of the spectator in the reception of a performance is finally coming into view as an essential aspect …

The Epic Theater Of Bertolt Brecht, Robert Julien Lacampagne
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
A completely new idea in any field of artistic endeavor is a rare phenomenon and is, in most instances, worthy of study. Bertolt Brecht, in his theories, writings, and productions, has given the world a theater that is the antithesis of present-day theatrical aims and ideals. It is to the study of this new form of theater that this thesis is devoted.

A Historical Survey And Evaluation Of The Most Prominent Theories That Shakespeare Did Not Write The Works Attributed To Him, Lola Vida Johnson
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The question of the authorship of the plays, poems, and sonnets traditionally attributed to the pen if William Shakespeare of Stratford-on-Avon has now been before the public for over one hundred years. Many of the most noted poets, playwrights, and nobles of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have been assigned the authorship of these works. The controversy can be compared to the controversy over Homer’s authorship. In 1975, Friederick Augustus Wolf proposed that Homer did not write The Iliad and The Odyssey. By 1900, Wolf had been disproven, but the question was one of great importance when it was first …

An Analysis Of The Humanism Of Euripides As Expressed In His Plays And Reflected In Selected Plays Of Modern Drama, Robert Henry English
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Because of the great importance of the human element in the drama of today we shall attempt to trace it from its first great exponent down to our times. Therefore, within the following pages we shall conduct an analysis of the humanism of Euripides as expressed in his plays and reflected in selected plays of modern drama. Our analysis, by necessity, shall have a six-fold purpose; (1) to analyze briefly the characteristics of the Attic theatre for which Euripides wrote; (2) to study the life and philosophy of Euripides in order to determine the presence of humanism; (3) to conduct …
