Contributors examine the tense, often contradictory relation between opera's musical signifiers and its verbal signifieds. They test too the gaps, overdeterminations, reversals, and resistances that attend the continual reworking of opera in production. Topics include the political implications of attacks on Italian castrati in 17th- and 18th-century English pamphlet literature; and the film . Three sections: constituting opera; nationhood and sexual difference; and genre, performance, and the cultural politics of AIDS. Paper edition (unseen), $18.50.
