Trained within structural and semiotic approaches to text and performance analysis with emergence of what David Barnett calls \"postdramatic theatre texts\" (2008:14) and recent calls for decolonizing curriculum, I found myself at a philosophical and theoretical crossroads. This article summarizes my teaching practice and philosophy as inflected through decolonial methods. It argues for our need to teach students to simultaneously position every dramatic text within the critical lens of structural play-analysis and their historical/cultural contextualization or dramaturgical concretization (Vodička 1975). The twenty-first century dramatic texts I teach are often located within the postdramatic European theatre and performance canon (Lehmann 2006), as well as within postcolonial and Indigenous traditions of storytelling. The three plays I chose as my case studies—Arabian Night (2003) by German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig, Bintou (2002) by Koffi Kwahulé, a Côte d'Ivoire writer living in France, and Burning Vision (2003) by Marie Clements, a Canadian Metis theatre artist—constitute the core of my syllabus for a graduate course in dramaturgy.","PeriodicalId":43301,"journal":{"name":"MODERN DRAMA","volume":"66 1","pages":"256 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45695960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Defining shock as a \"structure of feeling\" (Raymond Williams) that was pursued in especially teachable ways by the modernist \"play of ideas,\" this essay shares a set of pedagogical strategies for helping students to feel this shock while also reflecting on the political implications of an art committed to shock. Among these teaching strategies are two attempts to set this \"terrible art\" (G. B. Shaw) in new, revealing contexts: (1) comparing the modernist theater to non-theatrical practices that attach ideas to structures of feeling besides shock, and (2) pairing modernist plays that \"shock\" their audience in pursuit of a feminist politics with contemporary plays that \"destroy the audience\" (Young Jean Lee) in pursuit of an anti-racist politics. The result is not to lionize shock as a universal ideal, but to explore it as a tactic—useful in some settings, harmful in others; always distributing its benefits and its costs unevenly.","PeriodicalId":43301,"journal":{"name":"MODERN DRAMA","volume":"66 1","pages":"158 - 178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44541364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forsgren","doi":"10.3138/md-66-2-1183","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/md-66-2-1183","url":null,"abstract":"abstract:Heralded as one of the most important voices in US theatre, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks has made profound contributions to the creation of black art. Since her arrival on the theatre scene in the 1980s, Parks has challenged audiences to consider the importance of representation and unearth silences within history. Her more recent Pulitzer Prize finalist work, Father Comes Home from the Wars Parts 1, 2 & 3 (2014), continues this exploration, privileging the epic tale of an enslaved black man turned Confederate soldier in search of freedom. As an amalgamation of Parks's personal family history; the broader narrative of the black freedom struggle; and canonical epic tales such as Homer's Odyssey, Aeschylus's Oresteia, James Joyce's Ulysses, and Vyasa's Mahabharata, Father Comes Home… presents pedagogical challenges for instructors who must engage with ancient and modern texts and contemporary black political thought and performance traditions. Rather than replicate austere teaching practices of the past, I use the pedagogical theories of bell hooks to issue a call to foster curiosity and radical transparency as instructors guide students to a better understanding of how Father Comes Home transculturates (or reclaims) Greek mythology and tragedy within the African diaspora. In so doing, I demonstrate how Father Comes Home serves as a reckoning of the generational trauma caused by chattel slavery, summoning us all to confront racist and sexist practices that systematically disenfranchise black Americans and prevent the wider dissemination of black history and culture.","PeriodicalId":43301,"journal":{"name":"MODERN DRAMA","volume":"66 1","pages":"179 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46831110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His plays and screenplays–which Williams himself referred to as “film plays,” indicating their hybridity–are sites where the playwright explores aesthetic possibilities that blur the line between stage and screen. Exploring similar themes, such as the oppression and suffering of women, disabled people, and queer individuals, Williams’s film plays also demonstrate his desire for new aesthetic formulations. This article analyses Tennessee Williams’s unfilmed film play One Arm (published in 1984) as a major but neglected moment in his dramatic exploration of disability and the non-normative body. As in his other writing, Williams shows in One Arm that heteronormative and ableist norms can push individuals to the edges of society by stigmatizing and pathologizing their identities. By depicting their social and cultural transgressions, Williams celebrates allegedly excessive and deviant behaviour as well as “abnormal” bodies. The article further argues that in One Arm, Williams calls attention to the importance of creating a sense of community among disabled and queer subjects for a livable crip/queer future, and he calls for allyship among these communities to overcome oppression.","PeriodicalId":43301,"journal":{"name":"MODERN DRAMA","volume":"66 1","pages":"48 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43374456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
