Eva Peron - Evita The New Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In 1987, a small Argentine publishing house published a document that had recently been found in a government archive in Buenos Aires. The document was called "Mi mensaje", or "My Message", and appeared to be the long-lost deathbed manuscript of Eva Peron, referred to by her and mentioned in several biographies of her. Rumor had it that the document, which is critical of the Argentine church and military, had been suppressed for thirty years after her death by her husband, Argentine President Juan Peron. Like everything about Evita, "My Message" is shrouded in mystery and myth. Leading Peron scholars disagree about whether Evita wrote every word herself and about whether it is an accurate reflection of Evita's thinking at the time of her death. Her estate, however, insists that the work is not by Evita. In In My Own Words, "My Message" appears in English for the first time, published with an extensive introduction by Peron scholar Joseph A. Page, who weighs all the claims and counterclaims about the document's authenticity and concludes that "My Message" is "a vital document...probably based in part on dictation by the wife of Argentine President Juan Peron".

American Musical and the Performance of Personal Identity Princeton University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The American musical has long provided an important vehicle through which writers, performers, and audiences reimagine who they are and how they might best interact with the world around them. Musicals are especially good at this because they provide not only an opportunity for us to enact dramatic versions of alternative identities, but also the material for performing such alternatives in the real world, through songs and the characters and attitudes those songs project. This book addresses a variety of specific themes in musicals that serve this general function: fairy tale and fantasy, idealism and inspiration, gender and sexuality, and relationships, among others. It also considers three overlapping genres that are central, in quite different ways, to the projection of personal identity: operetta, movie musicals, and operatic musicals. Among the musicals discussed are "Camelot, Candide"; "Chicago"; "Company"; "Evita"; "Gypsy"; "Into the Woods"; "Kiss Me, Kate"; "A Little Night Music"; "Man of La Mancha"; "Meet Me in St.Louis"; "The Merry Widow"; "Moulin Rouge"; "My Fair Lady"; "Passion"; "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"; "Singin' in the Rain"; "Stormy Weather"; "Sweeney Todd"; and, "The Wizard of Oz". Complementing the author's earlier work, "The American Musical and the Formation of National Identity", this book completes a two-volume thematic history of the genre, designed for general audiences and specialists alike.
