Body Knowledge: Performance, Intermediality, and American Entertainment at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
Simonson, Mary (Lecturer in Womens Studies and Film & Media Studies, Lecturer in Womens Studies and Film & Media Studies, Colgate University, Hamilton, NY, USA)
This book traces the deployment of intermedial aesthetics in the works of early twentieth-century female performers. By destabilizing medial and genre boundaries, these women created compelling and meaningful performances that negotiated turn-of-the-century American social and cultural issues.
