Abstract
Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues (TVM) is an atypical play that centers on the most intimate part of the female anatomy: her vagina. This paper analyzes the double play of “jouissance” as the site of pleasure and resistance through the body and words. As a hearing and sharing of women’s experiences with one another, Ensler’s play delineates a new aesthetic grounded in the performance of individual and collective stories through the mediation of their voices/bodies. This paper analyzes the dramatization of the female body as site of resistance and power.
