SUMMARY:Racism and Minstrelsy in Dion Boucicault's The Octoroon (1859)
DESCRIPTION:Seminar session "Affect and Emotion in Melodrama"\nThe session 
 is about Irish-American playwright Dion Boucicault's 1859 play The Octoroo
 n\, which was one of the most successful melodrama's (in the US and the UK
 ) of the 19th century. We will speak about how minstrelsy (the practice of
  white actors dressing up as black characters) was used to ridicule and pr
 omote stereotypes about black people while the plot of the star-crossed lo
 vers (a white man and a mixed-race woman) can also be seen as a critique o
 f slavery and the anti-miscegenation laws in America.
