fourth wall removed Womens Liberation or entrapment
2010 Interstices Under Construction Symposium: Unsettled Containers, 2010Co-Authors: Kirsty VolzAbstract:Australian dramatic literature of the 1950s and 1960s heralded a new wave in theatre and canonised a unique Australian identity on local and international stages. In previous decades, Australian theatre had been abound with the mythology of the wide brown land and the outback hero. This rural setting proved remote to audiences and sat uneasily within the conventions of the naturalist theatre. It was the suburban home that provided the back drop for this postwar evolution in Australian drama. While there were a number of factors that contributed to this watershed in Australian theatre, little has been written about how the spatial context may have influenced this movement. With the combined effects of postwar urbanization and shifting ideologies around domesticity, a new literary landscape had been created for playwrights to explore. Australian playwrights such as Dorothy Hewett, Ray Lawler and David Williamson transcended the outback hero by relocating him inside the postwar home. The Australian home of the 1960s slowly started subscribing to a new aesthetic of continuous living spaces and patios that extended from the exterior to the interior. These mass produced homes employed diluted spatial principles of houses designed by architects, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe and Adolf Loos in the 1920s and 1930s. In writing about Adolf Loos’ architecture, Beatriz Colomina described the “house as a stage for the family theatre”. She also wrote that the inhabitants of Loos’ houses were “both actors and spectators of the family scene involved”. It has not been investigated as to whether this new capacity to spectate within the home was a catalyst for playwrights to reflect upon, and translate the domestic environment to the stage. Audiences were also accustomed to being spectators of domesticity and could relate to the representations of home in the theatre. Additionally, the domestic setting provided a space for gender discourse; a space in which contestations of masculine and feminine identities could be played out. This research investigates whether spectating within the domestic setting contributed to the revolution in Australian dramatic literature of the 1950s and 1960s. The concept of the spectator in domesticity is underpinned by the work of Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley. An understanding of how playwrights may have been influenced by spectatorship within the home is ascertained through interviews and biographical research. The paper explores playwrights’ own domestic experiences and those that have influenced the plays they wrote and endeavours to determine whether seeing into the home played a vital role in canonising the Australian identity on the stage.

Konstruktionen von Identität in der Literatur von Autorinnen der DDR in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren
2011Co-Authors: Habhab HassenAbstract:In der vorliegenden Arbeit handelt es sich um eine Thematik, die in der DDR-Frauenliteratur in den siebziger und achtziger Jahren behandelt und in den verschiedenen Prosagattungen umgesetzt wurde, und zwar die Frage der weiblichen Identitätsbildung. Dass diese im untersuchten Zeitraum durch den Sozialismus in der DDR sowie durch das feministische Denken geprägt ist, wird in dieser Arbeit beispielhaft Maxie Wanders Protokolle „Guten Morgen du Schöne“, Brigitte Reimanns „Franziska Linkerhand“, Irmtraud Morgners „Amanda. Ein Hexenroman“, Christa Wolfs „Kassandra“ und Monika Marons „Die Überläuferin“ vorgeführt. Die erwähnten Romane zeigen einen Bruch, den die ausgewählten Autorinnen durch die Enttäuschung über die Erkenntnis von der wirklichen Funktionsweise des kommunistischen Systems im eigenen Land erleben mussten. Deswegen ist das Interesse an den Protagonistinnen besonders stark. Es geht um die Frauenemazipation im Sozialismus, die sich in den konfliktreichen Versuchen niederschlägt, was sich auch im Scheitern von Heldinnen in den erwähnten Romanen manifestiert. In ihren Texten befassten sich die Autorinnen mit der erlebten Realität, deshalb reflektierten die untersuchten Romane Bilder aus dem Alltag und repräsentierten die realexistierende Situation der DDR-Frauen. Mit ihren Romanen förderten die Schriftstellerinnen die weibliche Identität und stellen männliche Verhaltensmuster in Frage. Ihre Überlegungen wurden von einer Form des literarischen Ausdrucks begleitet. In diesem Kontext wurden Begriffe wie subjektive Authentizität und weibliche Ästhetik erläutert. Es geht um die Suche der DDR-Autorinnen nach einer subjektiven Schreibweise jenseits des sozialistischen Realismus, der zum Vorbild der künstlerischen Schöpfung in der DDR wurde.In this work there is a subject that was dealt with in the East German women's literature in the seventies and eighties and implemented in the various prose genres, namely the question of female identity. That, was marked in the period examined by socialism in the GDR as well as by feminist thought, in this exemplary work records Maxie Wander, „Guten Morgen du Schöne“, Brigitte Reimann's „Franziska Linkerhand“, Irmtraud Morgner's „Amanda. Ein Hexenroman“, Christa Wolf's „Kassandra“ and Monika Maron's „Die Überläuferin“. The mentioned novels showed a fracture, the authors had selected the disappointment experienced by the knowledge of the actual operation of the Communist system in their own country. Therefore, the interest in the female protagonist is particularly special. It's about the Womens Liberation in socialism, which is reflected in the conflicting trials, as manifested in the failure of heroines in the mentioned novels. In their texts, the authors were interested in the lived reality; therefore the studied novels reflected images from everyday life and represented the real, existing situation of East German women. With her novels, the writers encouraged female identity and put male behaviors in question. Their deLiberations were accompanied by a form of literary expression. In this context, terms such as subjective authenticity and feminine aesthetics were discussed. It's about the search of the East German authors for a subjective form of writing beyond the socialist realism, which became a model of artistic creation in the GDR.Tag der Verteidigung: 19.07.2011Das Werk wurde ursprünglich als Dissertation angenommen.

The Man, the State and You: The Role of the State in Regulating Gender Hierarchies
Alabama Law Scholarly Commons, 2007Co-Authors: Render MeredithAbstract:This paper begins with the thesis that an andocentricassimilation model of Womens Liberation both has affected workplace outcomes for women and has desensitized us to those outcomes The paper then applies that thesis to understandings of equality within a hierarchical framework arguing that the equalityliberty dichotomy is false in the context of gender discrimination in the workplace Instead the paper argues that disparate treatment is a liberty concern In seeking to have our professional fates married to the fates of our male colleagues which is what workplace equality doctrines aim to do women are seeking to be only as free as our male colleagues are to find work and to find meaning in our work to procreate or not to coast along or to stand out and if we choose to stand alone Further this paper offers the perspective that we should resist the inclination to make our peace with the ordering of the gendered paradigms as they stand and to negotiate compromises from these vantage points Within this theoretical framework this paper explores the implications of the regulation versus governance debate in the context of gender discrimination The article suggests that renaming and reframing aside the approach embodied by the governance paradigm as it is applied to gender discriminatory contexts is neither new nor a deal for those already occupying a subordinate bargaining position but it is instead a framework by which to privilege existing power structures and efficiencybased values over other values and interests Moreover this paper defends the civil rights model of rulesbase stateenforced mandatory antidiscrimination measures such as Title VII as an admittedly nonpanacean yet nonetheless indispensable means by which private gender hierarchies are inhibited Finally this paper contends that in looking to the law to inhibit this particular privatelyenforced tyranny women are correctly interpreting the obligation of the state within our constitutional scheme to disrupt private tyrannies when those tyrannies reach the point of functioning as classbased power monopolies limiting the fundamental freedoms of those outside the monopolist clas
