- Inhalt
- Postmodernism is a general and wide-ranging term applied to literature, art, philosophy, architecture, fiction, and cultural and literary criticism, among others, which is essentially a reaction to the assumed certainty of scientific or objective efforts to explain reality. In essence, it stems from recognising that reality is not simply mirrored in human understanding; instead, it is constructed as the mind tries to understand its own particular and personal reality. In the postmodern understanding, interpretation is everything; reality only comes into being through our interpretations of what the world means to us individually. Postmodernism relies on concrete experience over abstract principles, always knowing that the outcome of one’s experience will necessarily be fallible and relative rather than certain and universal.
In this seminar, we will read and discuss postmodernism, in general, and postmodern drama, in particular. We will approach the plays from the perspective of a simultaneous inscription and subversion of the basic dramatic categories of character, language and reality. We will read between the lines and try to understand the double-coded nature of the postmodern plays. We may read plays by Terence Rattigan, Noel Coward, Samuel Beckett, Robert Wilson, Edward Albee, Harold Pinter, Caryl Churchill, Sarah Kane, Mark Ravenhill, Tom Stoppard, debbie tucker green or Heiner Müller, to name but a few.
