Unmaking Mimesis: Essays on Feminism and Theater

Product Description:
In Unmaking Mimesis, Elin Diamond interrogates the concept of mimesis in relation to feminism, theatre and performance. Diamond combines psychoanalytic, semiotic and materialist strategies with readings of selected plays by diverse writers such as Ibsen, Brecht, Aphra Behn, Caryl Churchill and Peggy Shaw. Through provocative readings of theatre, theory and feminist performance, Diamond demonstrates the continuing force of feminism and mimesis in critical thinking today.
