Description
seven methods of killing kylie jenner combines theatre with gifs, memes and emojis to explore stereotypes of Black womanhood, white capitalist exploitation and the politics of social media activism.
This Student Edition of Jasmine Lee-Jones's 2019 play features a commentary by Nadine Deller that delves into the following aspects of the play:
* the notion of cultural appropriation
* the idea that Blackness can be used in western culture to gain economic and cultural capital when mediated through white bodies
* the 19th century figure of Saartjie Baartman, who epitomises the historic fetishization of the Black female body
* the significance of colourism
* Black British womxn's theatre – with reference to the work of debbie tucker green, Chino Odimba, Jackie Kay and Winsome Pinnock
* the 'digital age' on stage
It also features a Notes section at the back of the edition, helping students to understand particular references in the play.
