Woman In Theater
... drag. Then on the other hand, this type of play may not be suitable to be shown to represent and study the practice of theatre. So does this mean the best way to study theatre is to just accept the fact that society was in fact extremely unjust to woman in this classical period?

Blade Runner And Jurassic Park
... contemporary capitalism are marked by technologies of reproduction and simulation which transform the world into a web of interconnected, overlapping information codes, asking us to reconsider our “natural” binary distinctions. While these questions have sparked a lively debate concerning technology and the representation of “naturally” gendered bodies, there has been less discussion about the specific ways in which the term “reproduction” links the discourses of science and gender.
