Just One of the Boys: Female-to-Male Cross-Dressing on the American Variety Stage (Music in American Life)
by Gillian M RodgerFemale-to-male crossdressing became all the rage in the variety shows of nineteenth century America, and began as the domain of mature actresses who desired to extend their careers. These women engaged in the kinds of raucous comedy acts usually reserved for men. Over time, as younger women entered the specialty, the comedy became less pointed, and came to center on the celebration of male leisure and fashion. Gillian M. Rodger uses the development of male impersonation from 1820 to 1920 to illuminate the history of the variety show. Exploding notions of high- and lowbrow entertainment, Rodger looks at how both performers and forms consistently expanded upward toward respectable ”and richer ”audiences. At the same time, she illuminates a lost theatrical world where women made fun of middle class restrictions even as they bumped up against rules imposed in part by audiences. Onstage, the actresses' changing performance styles reflected gender construction in the working class and shifts in class affiliation by parts of the audiences. Rodger observes how restrictive standards of femininity increasingly bound male impersonators as new gender constructions allowed women greater access to public space while tolerating less independent behavior from them.

KIRCHNER, LOS (EBOOK)
by Joaquin Morales SolaA lo largo de su trabajo periodístico el diario La Nación, Joaquín Morales Solá fue relatando los entretelones del quinquenio kirchnerista. Cada una de sus columnas fue una crónica a la vez que un análisis lúcido acerca del proceso político que permitió transformar a un hombre votado por apenas el 22% de los argentinos en un fenómeno de concentración de poder pocas veces visto en la breve historia democrática argentina. Pero más allá de la crónica y el análisis, Morales Solá supo ver #para enojo del matrimonio Kirchner, que muchas veces usó los atriles para criticarlo# cómo aquel poder hegemónico iba dejando fisuras institucionales, heridas políticas, problemas económicos irresueltos, curiosas interpretaciones históricas que degradarían con mayor rapidez que la que fue necesaria para construirlo el sistema creado por la pareja gobernante. Los Kirchner se lee como un ensayo en tiempo presente y como un drama en varios actos. Cada columna seleccionada por Bartolomé de Vedia parece haber sido escrita ayer mismo. Los personajes principales son siempre los mismos, los secundarios entran y salen de la escena. El libro cierra en el clímax, tras el duro conflicto con el campo, dejando un final abierto. Los que llegaron solos han vuelto a quedarse solos.
