| 520 | |a "Bringing together international perspectives on the figure of the "monster" in performance, this edited collection builds on discussions in the fields of posthumanism, bioethics and performance studies. The collection aims to redefine "monstrosity" to describe the cultural processes by which certain identities or bodies are configured to be threateningly deviant, whether by race, gender, sexuality, nationality, immigration status, or physical or psychological extraordinariness. The book explores themes of race, white supremacy, and migration with the aim of investigating how the figure of the monster has been used to explore representations of race and identity. To these, we add discussions on gender, queer identities and how the figure of the "monster" has been used to explore the gendered body to finally understand how monstrosity intersects with contemporary issues of technology and the natural world. Navigating the fields of disability studies, performance-centered monster studies, and representation in performance, editors Michael Chemers and Analola Santana have brought together perspectives on the figure of the "monster" from across a variety of fields that intersect with performance studies. This book is essential reading for Theatre and Performance students of all levels as well as scholars. It will also be an enlightening text for those interested in monstrosity and Cultural Studies more broadly"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
