{"product_id":"womens-comedic-art-as-social-domnica-radulescu-9780786460724","title":"Women's Comedic Art as Social Revolution: Five Performers and the Lessons of Their Subversive Humor","description":"\u003cp\u003e Though comic women have existed since the days of Baubo, the mythic figure of sexual humor, they have been neglected by scholars and critics. This pioneering volume tells the stories of five women who have created revolutionary forms of comic performance and discourse that defy prejudice. The artists include 16th-century performer Isabella Andreini, 17th-century improviser Caterina Biancolelli, 20th-century Italian playwright Franca Rame, and contemporary performance artists Deb Margolin and Kimberly Dark. All create humor that subverts patriarchal attitudes, conventional gender roles, and stereotypical images. The book ends with a practical guide for performers and teachers of theater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Domnica Radulescu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786460725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786460724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2012","brand":"Domnica Radulescu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086857122047,"sku":"9780786460724","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c1fa122-1f78-4add-aba2-565d494238fa.jpg?v=1769096979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/womens-comedic-art-as-social-domnica-radulescu-9780786460724","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
