A Critical Companion to Julie Taymor, Hardback Book

A Critical Companion to Julie Taymor Hardback

Edited by Matthew Hodge, Adam Barkman, Antonio Sanna

Part of the Critical Companions to Contemporary Directors series

Hardback

Description

A Critical Companion to Julie Taymor is the most updated and holistic volume on the director currently published.

Situating Taymor’s work within the intersections of story and spectacle, contributors to this collection examine issues of creativity, gender, sexuality, and adaptation by focusing on themes from Taymor’s oeuvre including martyrdom, musicality, fidelity, postmodern representations, feminism and queerness, identity, desire, trauma, revenge, hybridity, and obscenity.

The result reveals Julie Taymor to be a globally-influenced American director who exhibits and exemplifies the authentic artistry of ingenious storytelling and deserves scholarly attention.

This work will be of particular interest to scholars of film, philosophy, popular culture, gender, feminisms, and queer identities.
