Series: Stanislavsky And...

Stanislavsky and Gender explores the intimate and complicated relationship between the enduring influence of Konstantin Stanislavsky and the evolving phenomenon of gender. This book provides new insights through historical research, unpublished and newly translated materials, and contemporary perspectives from diverse scholars and practitioners.

Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of how gender informs and intersects with the legacy of Konstantin Stanislavsky and its related traditions from historical, feminist, pedagogical, intersectional, and queer contexts. Stanislavsky and Gender combines historical and contemporary perspectives from scholars and practitioners from the UK, Ireland, the US, Australia, Russia, and Brazil. Their contributions cover theatre histories, her-stories, emotion, feminism, pedagogy, intersectionality, race, and queerness. Following each chapter, contributors are joined in conversation to discuss their writing in a broader context.

Part of the ""Stanislavsky And…"" series, Stanislavsky and Gender will be invaluable to scholars, teachers, students, and practitioners interested in integrating perspectives on gender into their research, teaching, and practice of Stanislavsky's legacy and associated traditions, and theatre history, acting, directing, actor training, and pedagogy more broadly.
