Sondheim and Lapine's Into the Woods

Sondheim and Lapine's Into the Woods

‘The Woods are just Trees. The Trees are just Wood. ’ – All together In 1987 Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine combined several classic fairy tales including Little Red Riding Hood Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk to create Into the Woods. Funny and heartfelt this musical explores what it might mean to act responsibly in society both as a parent and as a child. Situating the work within Sondheim’s oeuvre and the Broadway canon Olaf Jubin first offers a detailed reading of the show itself before discussing key productions in New York and London and 2014’s Oscar-nominated screen adaptation. The radically different approaches to staging Into the Woods are testament to how open the musical is to re-interpretation for new audiences. A combination of critical explication with performance and film analysis as well as an overview of popular and critical reception this book is meant for anyone who has enjoyed Into the Woods be it as a musical theatre fan an enchanted audience member a student or a dedicated theatre professional. | Sondheim and Lapine's Into the Woods

The Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking Feminist Thought as Historical Present

The Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking Feminist Thought as Historical Present

Within much contemporary feminist theory there is a tendency to forget or ignore its own historicity and consider itself as primarily oriented towards the present. This book explores the historical roots of some of feminism’s central concepts and debates examining the philosophical conditions for feminist thought and taking as its point of departure the dynamic relationship between feminist thought and the history of philosophy. With close attention to the genealogy of key concepts such as equality sex/gender and difference alongside discussions of contemporary gender equality policy and contextual understandings of central figures including Wollstonecraft Beauvoir and Irigaray The Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking provides an analysis of feminism from its origins in the Early Modern period to its contemporary post-modern forms. Shedding light on feminism as a product of Modernity and establishing it as part of the canon of European intellectual development this book thus corrects the picture of feminism as a phenomenon that lacks historical continuity revealing a history characterized by breaks setbacks and forgetting in which the forgetting itself forms part of a rich genealogy. As such it will be of interest to philosophers sociologists political theorists and intellectual historians alike. | The Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking Feminist Thought as Historical Present
