Abstract/Description

More than has been previously recognized, Harold Pinter's Weltanschauung is comprehensively existential. Classical absolutes, Medieval spirituality and Renaissance harmony are untenable in his drama. Rational logic and Naturalistic fate are antithetic to his philosophy. Pinter's dramatic aesthetic. has been directed by his existential ethic. In his drama , Pinter recreates the negative conditions of modern life by posing problems based upon existential ontology, axiology, epistemology,...

Classical absolutes, Medieval spirituality and Renaissance harmony are untenable in his drama. Rational logic and Naturalistic fate are antithetic to his philosophy. Pinter's dramatic aesthetic. has been directed by his existential ethic. In his drama , Pinter recreates the negative conditions of modern life by posing problems based upon existential ontology, axiology, epistemology, communication, and destiny; however, he resolves these dilemmas with positive existential solutions by which man may rediscover his existence in an insecure modern world.

Abstract/Description

As current scholarship has begun to revisit African American theater, there has been an important rediscovery of certain women playwrights of the Harlem Renaissance. Coinciding with this rediscovery has been a tendency, however, to retain the often confusing and oppressive label that has haunted their plays and kept them from serious scholarly attention. Evoking categorizations like "folk drama" and "propaganda plays" oversimplifies the complexities of the terms themselves as well as what the...
Show moreAs current scholarship has begun to revisit African American theater, there has been an important rediscovery of certain women playwrights of the Harlem Renaissance. Coinciding with this rediscovery has been a tendency, however, to retain the often confusing and oppressive label that has haunted their plays and kept them from serious scholarly attention. Evoking categorizations like "folk drama" and "propaganda plays" oversimplifies the complexities of the terms themselves as well as what the individual women were doing in their writing. The primary focus of this study is to evaluate and recuperate the functions of the term "folk drama" as it operates within the realm of Harlem Renaissance drama, especially that of African American female playwrights. Reassessing "folk drama" reveals that the form is more intricate, historically and theatrically, than the label has heretofore suggested.

The drama of Appollonian-Dionysian opposition: Euripides's "The Bacchae" and Schrader's "Kiss of the Spider Woman".

Abstract/Description

The Apollonian-Dionysian duality is a mythical opposition that suggests a complex and fundamental pattern of looking at the world. In this opposition Nietzsche identified two antagonistic tendencies whose tense coexistence is a prerequisite of the tragic genre; in his formulation tragic conflict must essentially involve a tension between rationality and irrationality, at the level of plot, character, genre. I adopt this symbolic mythical pattern to explore the theme of dramatic conflict in an...
Show moreThe Apollonian-Dionysian duality is a mythical opposition that suggests a complex and fundamental pattern of looking at the world. In this opposition Nietzsche identified two antagonistic tendencies whose tense coexistence is a prerequisite of the tragic genre; in his formulation tragic conflict must essentially involve a tension between rationality and irrationality, at the level of plot, character, genre. I adopt this symbolic mythical pattern to explore the theme of dramatic conflict in an ancient play, Euripides's The Bacchae, and in a modern text, Schrader's screenplay Kiss of the Spider Woman. At the heart of both these dramatic works there lies a profound and balanced conflict between illusion and reality, emotion and reason, pragmatism and idealism, nature and culture, a conflict structured according to the Apollonian-Dionysian matrix. This thesis explores the connections between the two texts and reveals that their common predicament consists of an unsettled dramatic opposition of Apollonian and Dionysian imaginative realms.

Abstract/Description
-
Renaissance and Baroque drama offers a view into gender dynamics of the time. What is seen is a development in the allowed expression and manifestation of desire by females, beginning from a point of near silence, and arriving at points of verbal statement and even physical violence. Specifically, in La Mandragola by Niccolò Machiavelli, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, and Fuenteovejuna by Lope de Vega, there appears a chronological progression, whereby using desire and its...
