Girlsa. Kobiecość i nowoczesność w polskiej rewii międzywojennej
Dancing Girls: Femininity and Modernity in the Polish Interwar Revue

Summary/Abstract: Agata Łuksza's article analyzes the conditions of women working in the 1920s and 1930s in stage revues. The author is particularly interested in the case of the Polish revue, which she compares to its equivalents abroad. She also situates her text in a broad context of sociological phenomena. Łuksza traces various ways of disciplining the female body and conceptualizing the image of the revue actress, who had to strike a balance between remaining decent and arousing desire. At the same time, she reveals and names a range of mechanisms whose use led to wielding discursive power over the artists.
