Casting Gender puts forward a vision of theatre, storytelling, and the performance of the everyday function within the lived spaces of its performers and audiences, asking how women artists/scholars embody meaning, carry social value, and constitute possible identities. Drawing on scholarship in intercultural communication, performance studies, women’s studies, and cultural studies, this collection of new, critically informed research advances our understanding of how theater works as intercultural communication and as a vehicle for change. Casting Gender offers varied locations and sites of research, highlighting the rich diversity of women’s cultural identities, roles, and societal positions. This book moves beyond the western-centered nature of intercultural performance and intercultural communication theory and practice by creating a forum for nonwestern voices.

«Laura Lengel and John T. Warren have looked into the future and seen where the next significant social transformative movements will come from… No other work brings together the important issues surrounding women’s creative practices across diverse performance media in such wide geographical and cultural settings. ‘Casting Gender’ is a unique, groundbreaking volume exploring women’s creativity, subjectivity, and national and cultural identity during a century of rapid social transformation.» (From the Foreword by Dawn Chatty, Dulverton Senior Research Fellow, University of Oxford)
