From Orlan to Bernhardt

recycling French feminism, theatre and performance

Elaine Aston

pp. 137-148

Abstract

Do you mean to say there isn’t anyone among your contemporaries who would like to look like no one else on the face of the earth? No one who wants to set himself or herself apart from the common herd? Is there no one who wants to transcend the others, who wants to be adored by them, who wants to distance himself from them and be adored by them precisely because he has distanced himself from them?
