Burkman1st ed. 2016.New York :Palgrave Macmillan US :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2016.1 online resource (XV, 182 p.) What is Theatre?Includes index.1-137-56606-X 1-349-57487-2 The drama of the double -- Narcissus and doubling: Conrad, Shepard, Mamet -- Narcissus and Dionysus: The Bacchae and The crying game -- Harold Pinter's Death in Venice and Life in Victoria Station -- Hedda Gabler, Jules and Jim and Taxi driver -- Orestes: Aeschylus and O'Neill -- Doubling in the mythic dreamscapes of Samuel Beckett's Happy days -- Not I, and Rockaby -- More on Demeter: Marsha Norman's 'night mother -- Oedipus and Demeter: Pinters A slight ache -- Coda.This book explores the way in which doubling takes place in several novels, films, and dramas, primarily focusing on modern drama and exploring how five Greek myths – Oedipus, Narcissus, Dionysus, Orestes, and Demeter – inform the literature. Taking a psychological/mythical approach, this book explores the inner divisions that lead to boundary loss and the search for the self that may lead to boundaries found. The contention of the book is that the oedipal search for self has been replaced in modern literature by individuals caught up in a narcissistic culture. Katherine H. Burkman explores plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Henrik Ibsen, Eugene O'Neill, Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, David Mamet, Sam Shepard, Marsha Norman, and Will Eno.What is Theatre?Performing artsMotion pictures—HistoryPersonalitySocial psychologyLiterature—PhilosophyCulture—Study and teachingTheater—HistoryPerforming Artshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415030Film Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413070Personality and Social Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050Literary Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/812000Cultural Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411130Theatre Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010Performing arts.Motion pictures—History.Personality.Social psychology.Literature—Philosophy.Culture—Study and teaching.Theater—History.Performing Arts.Film History.Personality and Social Psychology.Literary Theory.Cultural Theory.Theatre History.809/.93353Burkman Katherine Hauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut193311BOOK9910255252803321The Drama of the Double2499997UNINA
