Abstract/Description
Scholarship regarding the genders has greatly increased in relevance during the last few decades. This project investigates the connections between social constructs of gender and the types of choreographed violence portrayed in popular media. Film, television, and theatrical representations of males and females in conflict are integrated into a review of current literature, including an analysis of the characters in the play Toyer by Gardner McKay.
