Listen "The Island Princess: Orientalism and (Barbie's) Island Princess"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, hosts Genevieve Henderson, Fawzia Istrabadi, and Christopher Niesner explore the pervasive Orientalism and pernicious Islamophobic tropes at work inside of Fletcher's late Jacobean play, The Island Princess. They pinpoint the play's significance as both colonialist and Christian propaganda while also considering the significance of the play's central strong female character in a post-Elizabethan context. Oh, and they work in a connection to the 2007 film Barbie's Island Princess as well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
