Tiina Rosenberg's latest publication is an open access book of essays, permitting the immediate dissemination of her research on the Swedish Performing Arts to the English-speaking world.
The collection investigates elements of the human voice and performance, and their implications for gender and sexuality.
"I hope that publishing these essays in an open access format will allow a wide audience to share the insights of Scandinavian research on gender - including gender and sexuality," says Tiina Rosenberg.
The chapters address affect, pleasure, and memory in the enjoyment of musical and theatrical performance. Rosenberg also examines contemporary feminist performance, anti-racist interventions, activist aesthetics, and political agency with regard to feminist and queer interpretations of opera and theatre.
Context of broader developments
The topics of the essays are set in the context of broader developments within gender and queer studies, and the feminist movement, by highlighting contributions of important artists who draw from the above to create performance.
Don’t be Quiet Start a Riot: Essays on Feminism and Performance by Tiina Rosenberg is the first volume of the Stockholm Studies in Culture and Aesthetics, a peer-reviewed series of monographs and edited volumes published by Stockholm University Press.
This book will be welcomed by opera and theatre lovers, students, academics, and the wider public that is interested in the performing arts and its queer feminist potential.
