A Study of Gender Representation in Athenian Dramas in the Classical Period

我的研究的主要发现关注阿里斯托芬的Lysistrate，Thesmophoriazusae和Ecclesiazusae中的性别代表。本文从变装、语言、刻板印象等方面对这些喜剧进行了分析。研究结果于2009年发表。它声称，阿里斯托芬的性别代表性的特点是变装，这是视觉上突出和明确的。就语言而言，要关注的是淫秽词语和短语：使用和不使用、使用条件以及说话者的性别都很重要。最后，刻板印象的频繁出现引起了观众的阵阵笑声。它们不是以简单直接的方式描述的，而是以一种矛盾复杂的方式描述的。

The main findings of my research concern about gender representation in Aristophanes' Lysistrate, Thesmophoriazusae, and Ecclesiazusae. These comedies were analyzed from the viewpoint of such components as transvestism, language, and stereotyped representation. The result of the research was published in 2009. It claimed that the gender representation of Aristophanes features cross-dressing, which is visually outstanding and clear. In terms of language, what is to be focused on is obscene words and phrases : use and non-use, the conditions of their use, and the sex of a speaker are important. Lastly the frequent occurrence of stereo-typed representation induces burst of laughter of the audience. They are described not straight, simple way but in a paradoxical, sophisticated way.
