Performance Studies
Patriarchal structures refer to social systems and frameworks where men hold primary power, dominating roles in leadership, moral authority, social privilege, and control of property. These systems often manifest in various institutions, including family, religion, and government, influencing gender roles and perpetuating inequality. In performance contexts, these structures can dictate representation and marginalization of voices, especially those of women and queer individuals.
