Abstract

This paper is the first result of the project ''Understanding of the Feminist Theatre on the US-Mexico Borderlands'' and presents from a theoretical perspective and in an introductive manner the US-Mexico borderlands as a field of constant hegemony struggle and the study of postcolonial peripheral feminism as a new perspective in feminist studies. Suggesting the “ethical violence” (Butler 2013) and “mechanisms of ignorance, rejection and insult” (Honneth 2011) are also a key cause of conflict in this region, this paper also introduces the existence of female playwrights who use theatre as a means of resisting ethical violence and fighting for the recognition of identity in this “transnational and heterogeneous space” at the US-Mexico borderlands.
