Like Wittgenstein, these artists are concerned with the limits of language's representational capacity. For Golub, it is these limits that give Wittgenstein's thought a further, very personal significanceâ€"its therapeutic quality with respect to the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder from which he suffers. Underlying what Golub calls “performance behaviorâ€_x009d_ is Wittgenstein's notion of “pain behaviorâ€_x009d_â€"that which gives public expression to private experience. Golub charts new directions for exploring the relationship between theater and philosophy, and even for scholarly criticism itself.LiteraturePhilosophyLiterature, Modern20th centuryHistory and criticismPerformancePhilosophyLanguage and languagesPhilosophyElectronic books.
