Abstract:
This article argues that Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire offers a broad critique of eugenic ideology, epitomized in Williams’s choice to end the play with Blanche DuBois’s forced institutionalization. By comparing the published 1947 play with eight distinct draft Streetcar scenes archived at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, I recover Williams’s dramatic critiques of the cruelty of twentieth-century American eugenic social policy. Over the course of Streetcar’s drafts, Williams accentuates Blanche’s increasing loss of reproductive and bodily control, e

This paper results from an analysis of the representation of space and its possible relationships with dramaturgy. In this regard, this paper aims to analyze the play <em>A streetcar named Desire </em>(Tennessee Williams, 1947), considering the relation between space and dramaturgy, just as the discursive matrices present in the space narrative of the theatrical play.

The circumstances surrounding the national premieres of Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire reflect not only the play's vibrant theatre life but also the particular culture that responded to it, validating past or anticipating future critical interpretations. Within two years of the Broadway (and world) premiere of Streetcar in December 1947, the play had been staged in Austria, Belgium, Holland, France (adapted by Jean Cocteau), Italy (with sets by Franco Zeffirelli), England (directed by Sir Laurence Olivier), Switzerland (with a translation by poet Berthold Viertel), and Sweden (d

Abstract:
Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire reveals Blanche’s tragic fate in the period of social change from the perspective of sexual conflict, and reveals the contest between the declining traditional civilization of the South and the emerging industrial civilization in American history. The play renders symbolism to show incisively and vividly the collision between the industrial civilization of the north and the planting civilization of the south, as well as the collision between personal fantasy and the reality of that time. In order to highlight the theme better, the writer skillfully

Abstract:
Sam Staggs's When Blanche Met Brando may not be the most scholarly commentary on Tennessee Williams, but it is certainly informative. Aiming “to synthesize, as no previous writer has, the first-hand accounts of those who were there” (xii) for both the 1947 Broadway premiere of A Streetcar Named Desire and its 1951 film, as well as subsequent revivals, Staggs succeeds at revealing the gulf between myth and fact, between play and production. By illuminating its twisted path of accidents from genesis to premiere to “classic,” Staggs reminds us that Streetcar by no means was destined to take on th

Abstract:
This essay looks at how Tennessee Williams's beloved drama "A Streetcar Named Desire" uses the idea of soft power to limit and mold society perceptions of gender identity and performance. Based on Judith Butler's seminal theory—which holds that gender is a socially created and performative act rather than an underlying essence—this analysis shows how the play uses soft power to enforce standards of acceptable gender expression.. The protagonist, Blanche DuBois, embodies the typical Southern belle, yet her brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski's blatantly masculine instincts conflict with her attempt

There are two major, well-known operas based on plays of Tennessee Williams. He refused many times throughout his life to give permission for his play, A Streetcar Named Desire, to be set as an opera. It was not until the 1960s that he granted permission for Lee Hoiby to choose any of his plays as a basis for a new opera. Hoiby chose Summer and Smoke, a play which was written at approximately the same time as Streetcar. Lanford Wilson created the libretto for the opera which was given its premier in 1971 by the St. Paul Opera Association. In 1994 representatives of the Williams estate grante

Stereotypical gender roles have probably existed as long as human culture and are such a natural part if our lives that we barely take notice of them. Nevertheless, images of what we perceive as typically masculine and feminine in appearance and behavior depend on the individual’s perception. Within each gender one can find different stereotypes. A commonly assumed idea is that men are hard tough, while women are soft and vulnerable. I find it interesting hoe stereotypes function and how they are preserved almost without our awareness.

The chapter opens with a reading of Tennessee Williams’ iconic play, A Streetcar Named Desire, and ends by reimagining the city as a water lily, adapting itself to its fluid environment.

Abstract Wilhelm Reich’s contributions to psychiatry include the study of character structure, studies of the psychology of fascism, and studies of sexuality. In opposition to Freud, Reich argued that every neurosis is the result of the damming up of sexual energy. He stressed character formation as a result of a human being dealing with instinctual conflicts. For him, the body armored itself in ways that therapists could read in body language and utilize for patients’ benefits.

Abstract This chapter considers the influence of Tallulah Bankhead’s A Streetcar Named Desire in 1956. It describes how the play had been potently homosocial and that everyone who attended the performance and the surrounding staff was struck gay and never returned. Tallulah’s valence as a gay icon correlates to her appeal to gay men and her contribution to the spirit of liberation instead of her numerous affairs with women, including Eva Le Gallienne. The chapter then lists the varying specialized works of Tallulah that required her unique improvisations and camp humor, such as Ziegfeld Follie
