    A clean copy of the Theory Palette http://dx.doi.org/10.17613/M6581T, this (almost) blank canvas is open to artistic and textual interventions, variations, and compositions with the intersecting concerns of author, history, culture, psyche, text, reader, literature, language, and embodiment/perception as blendable paint colors.

    Laurie Ringer deposited Draft: Theory Palette in the group Group logo of TC Women’s and Gender StudiesTC Women’s and Gender Studies on MLA Commons 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    Evoking the creative messiness of an artist’s palette, this Theory Palette depicts nine theoretical concerns as intersecting, blendable paint colors: author, history, culture, psyche, text, reader, literature, language, and embodiment/perception. Just as painters in the same school, theorists blend colors to create their own compositions, s…[Read more]

    Kendra Leonard deposited The Past is a Foreign Country: World Musics Signifying History in/and Elizabethan Drama in the group Group logo of TC Women’s and Gender StudiesTC Women’s and Gender Studies on MLA Commons 5 months ago

    Research on global Shakespeare has focused on the ways in which the plays have been adapted for indigenous languages and customs. Less attention has been paid to the ways in which non-British directors have treated the Elizabethan drama. Yet there are a number of works that create direct musical dialogues between Elizabethan drama, history, and…[Read more]

    Nigerian authors have consistently and effectively critiqued insidious connections between
    masculinity, political power, religious fundamentalism, and capitalist interests. The unstable
    political structures in Nigeria since the 1970s have led to such critiques. This essay deploys the
    idea of polygamy in Chinua Achebe’s Anthills of the S…[Read more]

    As part of my research, I argue that one important way the definition of a feminist borderland develops in these narratives is from a female character’s knowledge of and interpretation of her physical presence within the borderlands. By applying Linda Martín Alcoff’s theories of gender “positionality” and “self-embodiment” from her text Visible…[Read more]

    Examining gay journalism as gay liberation literature, this essay forwards a cultural history of sexuality informed by comparative urban and queer studies. My main argument is that gay liberation literature under apartheid lags behind important shifts in sexual activism; and my larger aim is to extend the valences of postcolonial queer studies…[Read more]

    The performances of Christ in the text of The Dream of the Rood construct a masculinity for Christ that is majestic, martial, and specifically heterosexual and that relies on a fragile opposition with a femininity defined as dominated Other in the figure of the Cross. His particularly constructed masculinity, explored rather than merely assumed or…[Read more]
