dc.description.abstract |
Empowerment is a frequently used but ambiguous term. This capstone project
investigates empowerment in multiple contexts through a series of multidisciplinary
inquiries. Critical texts are used to build a framework to analyze power,
empowerment and scripted plays from theatre of resistance traditions. The goal of
this study is to explore the nature of empowerment in order to build a theoretical
framework that can be used to analyze the ways in which theatrical works critique
and confront social institutions and forces of institutionalized oppression, as opposed
to reflecting them.
This research is relevant for arts administrators because the concept of
empowerment is often used in addressing issues of accessibility, participation, and
representation. But empowerment remains a contested subject within the arts
mainly because it is difficult to define and hard to measure in terms of outcomes. |
