Living with Liberation: Quebec Drama in the Feminist Age
Abstract
Responding to feminism, Quebec male dramatists have re-examined sex roles and the relationships between the sexes in the 1980s. The antifeminist reactions of the 1970s have given way to reluctant acceptance of women's equality and serious reconsiderations of masculinity. The male critique of patriarchy has led to new forms of male dramatic discourse. This paper focuses on Jean Barbeau's 1983 play, Les Gars, as an example of how the presentation of Quebec men has changed in the feminist age.Metrics
