It includes critical articles and personal accounts that interrogate specific historical moments, cultural contexts, and notions of "woman" on and off stage. Part I, "CriticalPerspective," includes historical and contemporary analyses of women's roles in society, gender anxiety revealed through the unmarked puppet body, and sexual expression within oppressive social contexts. Part II, "Local Contexts: Challenges and Transformations," investigates work of female practitioners within specific cultural contexts to illuminate how women are intervening in traditionally male spaces. Each chapter in Part II offers brief accounts of specific social histories, barriers, and gender biases that women have faced, and the opportunities afforded female creative leaders to appropriate, revive, and transform performance traditions. And in Part III,"Women Practitioners Speak,"contemporary artists reflect on their experiences as female practitioners within the art of puppet theatre. Representing female writers and practitioners from across the globe, Women and Puppetry offers students and scholars a comprehensive interrogation of the challenges and opportunities that women face in this unique art form.

English | ISBN: 1735160903 | 2020 | 417 pages | EPUB | 611 KB
An in-depth look into the creation of the Post WWII Healing Revival focusing on the historical perspective of William Marrion Branham, who has been credited by some as the evangelist who both initiated and led the movement. Examine the origins of the evangelist, the men who created him, and the men who influenced his doctrine from his early years as a Southern Indiana minister in the river city of Jeffersonville, Indiana, to his career as an internationally recognized faith healer. From his involvement with the Kardashian family in California to his politically-charged sermons supporting the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, William Branham lived a fascinating and unbelievable history connected to the collaboration, influence, and power of recognized public figures and events in American history. Some of those public figures made the F.B.I.'s Top Ten Most Wanted List as they entered the Healing Revival while others became respected ministers of the Gospel. Learn how a handful of men with one common goal orchestrated the events leading to some of the darkest moments in American history. These men pursued their goal through a strategy conceived decades before, while they were secretly planning in the shadows of the night. What was their objective? The "Americanization" of the United States.The research is filled with over a thousand footnotes, resources, and quotes from the transcripts of William Branham, Jim Jones, Roy Davis, Congressman William D. Upshaw, and many others. Over a decade of research packed into one book, Preacher Behind the White Hoods: A Critical Examination of William Branham and His Message walks you through the events of William Branham's life story. Rather than retelling the many versions of the "life story" used to create his stage persona - this book examines the events in the life of the historical William Branham.
