During the medieval and early modern periods, figures such as witches, prostitutes, women healers, amazons and possessed women were the objects of theological, medical, juridical discourses and institutions which more often than not rendered them outside the realm of \u00ab normative \u00bb femininity. At the same time, early modern spectacles in all their forms (drama, opera, ballet, entr\u00e9es royales) contain a whole panoply of representations of such pilloried feminine subjects. This panel invites contributions that explore how such subjects’more often than not figures that represented \u00ab evil’ \u00bbperform their roles and reveal alternative subjectivities within the conventions of dramatic\/aural\/civic\/written performances and communities.<\/span><\/div>\n
