This anthology examines maternity in contemporary performance at the intersection of a wide range of topics from nationhood to mental health, queer parenting, embodied dramaturgy, cultural practice, and immigration.Across the breadth of these themes, we interrogate the cultural implications and politics of how we script, perform, receive, and define mothers, challenging many of the normalizing and patriarchal tropes associated with the mother-as-character. 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? This 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.

This book delves into the captivating resurgence of Gothic themes in contemporary television, exploring how vampires, werewolves, and uncanny domestic secrets have invaded our screens. From the eerie landscapes of Twin Peaks to the dystopian futures of Black Mirror, this collection sheds new light on the Gothic's pervasive influence across genres and its reflection of cultural anxieties in our rapidly changing world. The essays within investigate a myriad of topics, including the narrative power of Gothic television, the role of streaming platforms as "Gothic devices," and the genre's historical roots and futuristic visions. Contributors offer expert analyses through diverse critical lenses such as Queer theory, postmodernism, and post-human studies. This volume invites readers to ponder how Gothic narratives shape and are shaped by the medium of television, making it an essential read for anyone interested in media studies and cultural theory.
