This book includes critical essays examining twenty-first century dramatic literature, first-hand ethnographic accounts of motherhood in practice, interviews, feminist manifestos, and artist reflections. In its deliberately curated variety, this collection seeks to resist homogeneity and offer instead a range of approaches to key questions: what versions of motherhood get staged, and why? And what do dramatic representations tell us about the role of mothers in our own fraught contemporary moment? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection will be of great interest to those in academia who are teaching, researching, or studying in the fields of Theatre and Performance Studies, American Studies, and Feminist and Gender Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAoise Stratford\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Playwright, Dramaturg, and Lecturer at Cornell University in the Department of Performing and Media Arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLynn Deboeck\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Theatre and Lecturer in Gender Studies at the University of Utah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 282\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 28, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509945876658,"sku":"9781032303192","price":93.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/OTlI9Zkdc39781032303192.webp?v=1779637329","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/mother-perspectives-staging-motherhood-in-21st-century-north-american-theatre-performance-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
