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

我的研究的主要发现是关于阿里斯托芬的《Lysistrate》、《Theesmoporiazusae》和《Ecclesiazusae》中的性别表征。这些喜剧从异装癖、语言和刻板印象等方面进行了分析。这项研究的结果发表在2009年。它声称阿里斯托芬的性别表现具有变装的特点，在视觉上是突出和清晰的。在语言方面，要关注的是淫秽词汇和短语：使用和不使用、使用条件和说话者的性别都很重要。最后，立体式表征的频繁出现引发了观众的阵阵笑声。对它们的描述不是直截了当、简单的方式，而是一种自相矛盾、复杂的方式。

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.
