Hélène Cixous and the Theatre

The Scene of Writing

Beschreibung

The theatre, both as metaphor and practice, is central to Cixous' writing, yet has rarely been accorded the importance it merits within her oeuvre. The constant concerns of her work are represented and explored in plays which address individual and collective stories of difference, exile, love and writing. This book offers a clear contextualisation of Cixous' theatre alongside detailed analyses of individual plays and argues for a reading of Cixous' theatre as a dramatisation of the writing process.

Autor

The Author: Julia Dobson lectures at the University of Nottingham and has written on Cixous and Contemporary French Cinema.

Rezensionen

«This is...an extremely useful book which achieves its stated aims of charting Hélène Cixous' evolution from theorist to playwright and clearly sets out in an interesting manner her mode and ethics of writing.» (Rosemary Arnoux, New Zealand Journal of French Studies)
