Moving between analytical and critical-reflective voices, and prioritising knowledge arising from and questions generated by the author's embodied investment in this PaR work, \u003ci\u003eCanonical Misogyny\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on dramaturgy as a site of ideology and meaning-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt seeks to address the ways in which contemporary theatre allows producers of Shakespeare to represent gendered violence in unethical and irresponsible ways. It also demonstrates how failures to make meaningful dramaturgical interventions in early modern plays result in the tacit (or even explicit) glorifying and\/or trivialising of their problematic approaches to consent and agency, which intersects with questions of race, gender, sexuality and class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933920968940,"sku":"9781399502276","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781399502276-canonical-misogyny.jpg?v=1783883517"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/nora-j-williams.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
