Download or read book Women in Performance written by Sarah Gorman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in Performance: Repurposing Failure charts the renewed popularity of intersectional feminism, gender, race and identity politics in contemporary Western experimental theatre, comedy and performance through the featured artists’ ability to strategically repurpose failure. Failure has provided a popular frame through which to theorise recent avantgarde performance, even though the work rarely acknowledges stakes tend to be higher for women than men. This book analyses the imperative work of a number of female, non-binary and trans* practitioners who resist the postmodern doctrine of ‘post-identity’ and attempt to foster a sense of agency on stage. By using feminism as a critical lens, Gorman interrogates received ideas about performance failure and negotiates contradictions between contemporary white feminism, intersectional feminism, gender and sexuality. Women in Performance: Repurposing Failure reveals how performance has the power to both observe and reject contemporary feminist and postmodern theory, rendering this text an invaluable resource for theatre and performance studies students and those grappling with the disciplinary tensions between feminism, gender, queer and trans* studies.
Download or read book Dennis of Penge written by Annie Siddons and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wendy is downtrodden. She is one of the outcasts, the underclass, the meek and the bleakly prospected. She didn't stand a chance of succeeding. Washed up and heartbroken, the highlight of her existence is her daily shuffle to the chicken shop. On one particularly hard day she re-encounters her old friend Dennis, whom she hasn't seen since a tragedy occurred when she was ten – twenty-five years previously. Newly returned to Penge, and now a chicken shop boss, Dennis promises to change her existence forever. But will Wendy have the courage to follow him? And what are the consequences of letting the god of madness, ecstasy, and wildness loose in SE20? Touching on themes of addiction, survival, poverty, joy and ecstasy in the city, and a homage to her childhood ends of SE20, Dennis of Penge, loosely based on Euripides' The Bacchae, combines Annie Siddons' raw poetry with music and performance to create an urgent, vital and uplifting new show.

Download or read book Finding Again the World written by John Metcalf and published by Biblioasis. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding Again the World brings together a dozen of the best stories by John Metcalf, a modern master of the form. Spanning more than fifty years and ranging from some of his earliest published stories, such as “Dandelions” and “The Eastmill Reception Centre,” to his latest, with “Ceazer Salad” and “The Museum at the End of the World,” this current gathering shows a writer whose voice, at every stage of his career, is unmistakeable. These are elegant and brilliantly charged fictions, entertaining and moving and mischievous: taking the dross and straw of everyday life and transforming it, through some sort of alchemical process of sensibility, into art. With an introduction by Keath Fraser, Finding Again the World is a landmark collection, a sumptuous gathering of singular work: these are stories that will last.
Download or read book The Origins and Nature of Scandinavian Central Banking written by Steffen Elkiær Andersen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the formation and evolution of Scandinavian central banks. It begins by defining the nature of “central banking” in general, before moving on to investigate how and when it became meaningful to regard today’s Scandinavian central banks as such. It also explores how Scandinavian central banks have conformed to the defined ideals of “central banks” over the last 100 years, clarifying the distinctions between commercial banks and central banks, and between central banks and departments of governments. The author shows how the outbreak of the Great War was the catalyst which fundamentally transformed the originally purely commercial banks into “central banks”. The book also analyses how different the three Scandinavian central banks are, how these differences can be explained by the different political and economic circumstances surrounding their original formation, and the differences in the political environments in which they later developed.
