The Antipodes: Queerness and Power and Ecofeminism, OH MY!

In this episode, hosts Eli Cronin and Katie Graham explore intersections of ecocriticism, queer theory, and feminist theory in their analysis of Richard Brome's topsy-turvy play, The Antipodes. They use close readings from the play to analyze the play's shifting power dynamics through the lens of both queer theory and ecofeminism, especially in thinking through how the play activates space through metaphors of control. Spoiler alert: there are a puppet and pirate digressions too! CW: discussions of sexual harassment and/or assault, in-play depictions of a sexist slur, mild thematics that imply incest, and discussions of mental illness. Hosted on Acast.
