In Search of the Cross-Dressing Body: from Shakespeare to Propeller

在对莎士比亚作品中跨性别角色的历史概述之后，本研究调查了日本和英国的表演中表演者的变装。变装是莎翁戏剧创作的一部分，在他的一些戏剧中也有体现。现代戏剧中采用的跨性别选角进一步产生了独特的戏剧效果，增加了观众对塑造戏剧表演世界的参与，也重新审视了社会中的性别差异。

Following a historical overview of the cross gender casting in Shakespeare productions, this study investigates both Japanese and British performances in which performers cross dress. Cross dressing is part of the Bard's dramaturgy and a feature exploited in some of his plays. The cross gender casting employed in modern theatre further generates unique theatrical effects, increasing audience involvement in shaping the world of play-acting and also re-examining gender differences in society.
