Summary
Lada Čale Feldman: Eurydice's reviews
On gender performances in theory, folklore, literature and theater
The ability to observe the unobserved and to marvel at known phenomena, followed by reasoned judgments, is the result of the author's comparative assessment of cultural practices and anthropological predispositions of the gender inscription of historical subjects on the theater stage and its wider sociocultural context in which the contradictions of male and feminine, culture and nature, being and representation, "high" and "low" culture, represent the basic, albeit unstable, categories of perceiving and delimiting the world. The author undertook a fundamental feminist opposition because she rightly believes that the dramatic-performance logic of twisting, subverting and questioning, above all, the gender conventions of actors' staging of life is important because "reborn" cultural values mark every division and every attribution of dramatic characters, historical figures, allegorical beings and localized symbols of the Western cultural circle (Renata Jambrešić Kirin).
