Gender and Sexuality: A Batch from TDR (MIT Press Batches)
Categories: Books, Politics & Social Sciences, Social Sciences

“An event can be a performance in one circumstance and not be a performance in another; in both cases the event can be studied as performance,” writes Richard Schechner in his introduction to Gender and Sexuality: A Batch from TDR/The Drama Review. Bringing together articles spanning 30 years of TDR, this Batch focuses on performance through the lenses of gender, sexuality, and culture. Examined together, the articles reveal how feminist and gender studies theorists and sympathizers have shifted their subject matter, approach, and focus over time. The authors explore such topics as the history of cross-dressing in Chinese theatre, hijraism and Pakistani politics, and gender and racial triangulation in Japanese-American internment camps. Dig in. About BATCHES The BATCHES Series from the MIT Press features collections of journal articles on themes identified by and currently resonating with readers.
