Abstract
'Camp' (defined by traits such as exaggerated self-conscious theatricality, self-mockery, winking complicity, and an undermining of the categories of dominant ideology, especially gender distinctions) could be a way to understand this elusive text. A series of camp-like elements were identified at various levels in the text, though it was seen to have a final anxiety that works against the perfectly insouciant pose. Role-playing and performance, however, are important in all Stevenson's works.File allegato/i alla scheda:
