Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

  • On Dorfman's Death and the Maiden
    Essay On Dorfman's Death and the Maiden David Luban* Gerardo Escobar, the human rights lawyer, is late returning from his meeting with the President, and his wife Paulina is edgy as she keeps dinner warm in their isolated coastal home. Sudden thunder, sheets of rain, and the electricity goes out, cutting off the radio news in midsentence. The summer storm is violent, but Paulina has a different kind of violence on her mind. "The time is the present," Ariel Dorfman tells us in the stage directions to Death and the Maiden, "and the place, a country that is probably Chile but could be any country that has given itself a democratic government just after a long period of dictatorship."' * Frederick Haas Professor of Law and Philosophy, Georgetown University Law Center. This Essay was originally prepared for a panel on transitional justice entitled "Justice, Amnesty, and Truth-Telling: Options for Societies in Transition," American Philosophical Association, Eastern Division, convention (Atlanta, Dec. 1996). My thanks go to the participants in this sym- posium, to Arthur Evenchik and Temma Kaplan for comments on an earlier draft, to Ann Sheffield for help with Latin translations, to Gisela von Mlhlenbrock for conversations about transitional justice in Chile, and to the research librarians at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., for assistance in locating research materials. 1.

Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

  • Death and the Maiden, Describes the Encounter of a Former Torture Victim with the Man She Believed Tortured Her; It Was Made Into a Film in 1994
    Ariel Dorfman: Death and the Ariel Dorfman was born in Buenos Aires on May 6, 1942, and shortly after his birth moved to the United States Maiden and then, in 1954, to Chile. He attended and later worked as a professor at the University of Chile, marrying Angelica Malinarich in 1966 and becoming a Chilean citizen in 1967. From 1968 to 1969, he attended graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley and then returned to Chile. In an interview in Bomb Magazine, Dorfman said, "I'm constantly trying to figure out how you can be true to an experience which in fact very few people in the world would understand, such as having most of your friends disappear or be tortured, and at the same time finding a way of telling that story so other people in other places can read their own lives into that." His most famous play, Death and the Maiden, describes the encounter of a former torture victim with the man she believed tortured her; it was made into a film in 1994. Dorfman's works have been translated into more than 40 languages and performed in over 100 countries. He has won various international awards, including two Kennedy Center Theatre Awards. Dorfman also writes regularly for such publications as The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The Guardian (where he has a featured blog), Le Monde and L'Unita. [adapted from Wikipedia] Some Background: Edvard Munch, Death and the Maiden Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden is a moral thriller about a by Ariel Dorfman woman, Paulina, who believes that a stranger who comes to her home is the doctor who, under a military dictatorship, tortured and raped her many years before.
