Gender Performativity and Cross Dressing through some Stagings of Genet’s The Maids
Keywords:
Cross Dressing, Performativity, Gender, Queer, The MaidsAbstract
This article explores the concepts of cross dressing and gender performativity through the conceptualization of queer studies, exemplifying them with successive stagings of The Maids, by Jean Genet. It focuses specifically on Argentine directors, whose common feature lies not only in the dramatic text but in objections to the idea of representation, as Genet suggests in his text. S. Renán, V. García, A. Arias and C. Zorzoli problematise this idea, with each new staging, and allow us to reflect on the destabilization operated by The Maids.Downloads
