Carleton College’s Department of Asian Languages and Literatures, along with the Asian Studies Program, will present a lecture by Maki Isaka, a professor at the University of Minnesota, on Friday, Feb. 3 from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. in the Gould Library Athenaeum. Isaka’s talk, “Why Can’t Women Do the Job? The Art of Femininity in the Kabuki Theater,” will discuss the significance of femininity in traditional Japanese Kabuki theater. Isaka’s talk is free and open to the public.
Kabuki is well known for “onnagata” actors—that is, male actors who specialize in playing women’s roles. Though women were formally banned from Kabuki in 1629, a few women continued to perform these roles incognito; however, in the 20th century these female onnagata completely disappeared. Isaka will discuss her research on femininity construction in Kabuki and ask why people assume even today that women “can’t do the job” of performing Kabuki.
