Download or read book Early Professional Women in Northern Europe c 1650 1850 written by Johanna Ilmakunnas and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on early examples of women who may be said to have anticipated, in one way or another, modern professional and/or career-oriented women. The contributors to the book discuss women who may at least in some respect be seen as professionally ambitious, unlike the great majority of working women in the past. In order to improve their positions or to find better business opportunities, the women discussed in this book invested in developing their qualifications and professional skills, took economic or other kinds of risks, or moved to other countries. Socially, they range from elite women to women of middle-class and lower middle-class origin. In terms of theory, the book brings fresh insights into issues that have been long discussed in the field of women’s history and are also debated today. However, despite its focus on women, the book is conceptually not so much focused on gender as it is on profession, business, career, qualifications, skills, and work. By applying such concepts to analyzing women’s endeavours, the book aims at challenging the conventional ideas about them.

Download or read book Relevance and Marginalisation in Scandinavian and European Performing Arts 1770 1860 written by Randi Margrete Selvik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relevance and Marginalisation in Scandinavian and European Performing Arts 1770–1860: Questioning Canons reveals how various cultural processes have influenced what has been included, and what has been marginalised from canons of European music, dance, and theatre around the turn of the nineteenth century and the following decades. This collection of essays includes discussion of the piano repertory for young ladies in England; canonisation of the French minuet; marginalisation of the popular German dramatist Kotzebue from the dramatic canon; dance repertory and social life in Christiania (Oslo); informal cultural activities in Trondheim; repertory of Norwegian musical clocks; female itinerant performers in the Nordic sphere; preconditions, dissemination, and popularity of equestrian drama; marginalisation and amateur staging of a Singspiel by the renowned Danish playwright Oehlenschläger, also with perspectives on the music and its composers; and the perceived relevance of Henrik Ibsen’s staged theatre repertory and early dramas. By questioning established notions about canon, marginalisation, and relevance within the performing arts in the period 1770–1860, this book asserts itself as an intriguing text both to the culturally interested public and to scholars and students of musicology, dance research, and theatre studies.

Download or read book Women Writing Intimate Spaces written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-12-12 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The messy and multi-layered issue of intimacy in connection with transnationality and spatiality is the topic of this volume on women’s writing in the long nineteenth century. A series of intimacies are dealt with through case studies from a wide range of countries situated on the European fringes. Within the field of feminist literary studies, the volume thus differs from other publications with a narrower scope, such as Western Europe or specific regions. More broadly, the chapters in this volume offer a variety of approaches to intimacy and generous bibliographical references for researchers in humanities and cultural studies.

Download or read book European Theatre 1960 1990 Routledge Revivals written by Ralph Yarrow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European theatre has been the site of enormous change and struggle since 1960. There have been radical shifts in the nature and understanding of performance, fuelled by increasing cross-cultural and international influence. Theatre has had to fight for its very existence, adapting its methods of operation to survive. European Theatre 1960-1990, first published in 1992, tells that story. The contributors - who in many cases have been theatre practitioners as well as critics - provide a wealth of fascinating information, covering Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Spain and Sweden, as well as Britain. The book offers an historical and descriptive overview of developments across national boundaries, enabling the reader to compare and contrast acting and directing styles, administrative strategies and the relationship between ideology and achievement. Chapters trace the evolution of theatre in all its aspects, including such elements as the end of censorship in many countries, the upsurge in political and personal awareness of the 1960s, shifting patterns of state artistic policy, and the effects on companies, directors, performers and audiences. This book should be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and academics of theatre studies.

Download or read book Anne Charlotte Leffler and Modernist Drama written by Lynn Rosellen Wilkinson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilkinson (Germanic studies, comparative literature, and women's and gender studies; U. of Texas-Austin) is engaged in a large project studying European women playwrights of the 19th and 20th centuries, of whom Leffler (1849-92) was the most important. The Swedish playwright wrote 14 plays that were performed or published, she says, and along with August Strindberg (1849-1912) is considered one of the Swedish founders of modern drama. She looks first at her modern breakthrough during the 1870s, then at politics and modernism in the plays of the 1880s and 1890s.
