In Unmaking Mimesis Elin Diamond interrogates the concept of mimesis in relation to feminism; theatre and performance. She combines psychoanalytic; semiotic and materialist strategies with readings of selected plays by writers as diverse as Ibsen; Brecht; Aphra Behn; Caryl Churchill and Peggy Shaw. Through a series of provocative readings of theatre; theory and feminist performance she demonstrates the continuing force of feminism and mimesis in critical thinking today. Unmaking Mimesis will interest theatre scholars and performance and cultural theorists; for all of whom issues of text; representation and embodiment are of compelling concern.
