Staging Violence explores gender violence in Spanish early modern
short theater. This book deals with domestic violence against
women, extortion of prostitutes, and violence against men who
display non-conventional forms of masculinity. The author argues
that many "jacaras" and "entremeses" stage subversive discourses
that repudiate or complicate official narratives of gender and the
use of violence as a tool for achieving gender compliance. Short
comic pieces are read against comedias. Each section of the book is
expertly contextualized through an overview of the legal and moral
contexts and the analysis of a variety of primary sources (law
codes, manuals of conduct, church rulings, transcripts of civil and
religious trials, and medical manuals) as well as statistical
information. Staging Violence invites the reader to consider the
transgressive potential of performance. As the first monograph
entirely dedicated to the study of gender in this genre, this book
is a vital resource for students and scholars interested in gender
studies and theatre.
