| Summary: | In this collection, Cătălina Florina Florescu focuses on several contemporary Romanian female playwrights with residencies in Europe and the United States. In their bold works, written by female playwrights who are academics, activists and performers, we are invited to discover variations in the modus operandi of the dramatic language itself from metaphorical to matter-of-fact approaches. Furthermore, while all these playwrights speak Romanian, they also think and operate in various other languages, such as Romani, German, French, Italian and American English. This book facilitates scholars and students to discover contemporary issues related to Romanian society as presented heavily from a feminine angle and to reveal intersectional issues as seen and applied to dramatic characters in a post-communist country from some authors who experienced communism first hand. The book is also an invitation to reinvent how we teach dramatic literature by offering twenty interactive, exploratory activities. |
