Tiina Rosenberg - Böcker

This accessible introduction challenges fixed understandings of the geographical or conceptual "origins" of feminist performance, offering a fresh and open-ended guide to the moments and movements that have come to define this vital field.Designed for weekly use on performance studies courses, each of the book’s ten chapters highlights the key works of feminist performance, including performance art, live art, body art, activism, and theater. These milestones are all linked to acts of rupture and political reanimation, as artists broke with dominant understandings of gender, art, and value, that were taken to be insurmountable and static.Milestones are a range of accessible textbooks, breaking down the need-to-know moments in the social, cultural, political, and artistic development of foundational subject areas.

The purpose of this Handbook is to provide students with an overview of key developments in queer and trans feminist theories and their significance to the field of contemporary performance studies. It presents new insights highlighting the ways in which rigid or punishing notions of gender, sexuality and race continue to flourish in systems of knowledge, faith and power which are relevant to a new generation of queer and trans feminist performers today.The guiding question for the Handbook is: How do queer and trans feminist theories enhance our understanding of developments in feminist performance today, and will this discussion give rise to new ways of theorizing contemporary performance? As such, the volume will survey a new generation of performers and theorists, as well as senior scholars, who engage and redefine the limits of performance. The chapters will demonstrate how intersectional, queer and trans feminist theoretical tools support new analyses of performance with a global focus. The primary audience will be students of theatre/ performance studies as well as queer /gender studies. The volume’s contents suggest close links between the formation of queer feminist identities alongside recent key political developments with transnational resonances. Furthermore, the emergence of new queer and trans feminist epistemologies prompts a reorientation regarding performance and identities in a 21st-century context.

Suzanne Osten är nyskapande i sin regi, teoretiskt och politiskt välformulerad och välorienterad, och har alltsedan slutet av 1960-talet stått i centrum för utvecklingen av en politiskt radikal och formmässigt experimenterande teater i Sverige. Boken är illustrerad med Suzanne Ostens egna teckningar.

Vadå queer? Vem är queer? Är alla queera? Och vad är queerteori? I Queerfeministisk agenda får du svar på alla dina frågor om queerteori och queeraktivism. Med exempel från populärkultur, finkultur och vardag ger Tiina Rosenberg bakgrunden till queerteorin – från tidig homoaktivism till feministisk teori och lesbiska och gaystudier – samt presenterar teoribygget och den kritiska granskningen av det heteronormativa. Queerfeministisk agenda är en bok både för dig som är lite nyfiken på vad queer är för något, men även för alla som arbetar med genusvetenskap och feministisk teori.
