{"product_id":"staging-disgust-9781009379823","title":"Staging Disgust","description":"This Element turns to the stage to ask a simple question about gender and affect: what causes the shame of the early modern rape victim? Beneath honour codes and problematic assumptions about consent, the answer lies in affect, disgust. It explores both the textual \"performance\" of affect, how literary language works to evoke emotions and the ways disgust can work in theatrical performance. Here Shakespeare's poem The Rape of Lucrece is the classic paradigm of sexual pollution and shame, where disgust's irrational logic of contamination leaves the raped wife in a permanent state of uncleanness that spreads from body to soul. Staging Disgust offers alternatives to this depressing trajectory: Middleton's Women Beware Women and Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus perform disgust with a difference, deploying the audience's revulsion to challenge the assumption that a raped woman should \"naturally\" feel intolerable shame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Panek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Elements in Shakespeare Performance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009379823","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43324814885001,"sku":"9781009379823","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_025d7346-7fbc-42c8-8c6d-5502caeeac20.jpg?v=1738649751","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/staging-disgust-9781009379823","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
