While placing refers to an explicit southern setting, with identifiable tropes and characters from that region, often depicted with a certain irony to avoid stereotypical images of the local identity, displacing involves a slightly peripheral South, only present in characters’ memories, usually set in opposition to the North, specifically New York. With re-placing, playwrights return to a southern setting but abandon any genre, temporal or spatial restrictions to explore a less monolithic southern identity within the globalized world. Kayser’s study explicitly deals with a diversity of contemporary southern women authors, some more critically acclaimed than others – Beth Henley, Elizabeth Dewberry, Sandra Deer, Paula Vogel, Pearl Cleage, Shay Youngblood and Sharon Bridgforth. Interestingly enough, she begins her analysis by dedicating a chapter to a pioneer (southern) playwright, Lilian Hellman, ‘an ambivalent figure in both her critical reputation and her regional identity’ (p. ). As such, Hellman perfectly incarnates some of the concerns southern women playwrights still face today regarding race and gender issues and critical reception. In that regard, Kayser’s retake on Hellman from the perspective of region, race and gender is definitely a contribution to the field of American and southern drama and a perfect segue to the following sections of the book. Focusing primarily on prescript notes, the dramatic text and rhetoric of reviews for each production, the author draws her theoretical framework from different fields, ranging from women’s and feminist drama and theatre to southern literary and cultural studies. This rich interdisciplinary perspective underlines the complexity of the subject matter and favourably broadens the monograph’s potential readership. Although mentioned in the introduction (p. ), performance studies seem to play a minor role compared to other fields, such as literary studies. Therefore the interpretation of plays tends to focus almost exclusively on plot, storyline and character description, and much less on style or overall dramaturgy. The exception that proves the rule would be the analysis of Bridgforth’s play Loveconjure/blues () in chapter , which deviates from a more naturalistic writing style and thus leads the author to focus more on different elements of the text. However, possibly in an attempt to demonstrate to a broader readership how this particular work does not conform to more ‘traditional’ drama, Kayser at times suggests outdated explanations for nonor postdramatic playtexts: ‘while the text has been categorized as drama and is meant to be performed, it lacks stage directions and is written in combination of poetry and prose (it breaks from dramatic convention)’ (p. ). Hence it would have been preferable to reference more recent scholarship on contemporary drama and performance to avoid clichés regarding texts of these t","PeriodicalId":55955,"journal":{"name":"THEATRE RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL","volume":"48 1","pages":"222 - 223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47486511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
