Multilevel Representations of Power in Harold Pinter's Plays
$40.00
The study offers an interdisciplinary analysis of Harold Pinter's dramatic discourse and focuses on the way power makes the characters play on the borders of linguistic, spatial, narrative and gender configurations.
It examines the experimental nature of Harold Pinter's dramatic technique and how he compromises both the realistic and the absurd dramatic formulae. The study also investigates the narrative of the past - a new dramatic technique in Pinter's Plays, which brings into focus the inner life of the characters without causing any severe disturbance to the realistic conventional formula. It asserts that the narratives of the past become a form of doing, of being anchored in life and of acting in response to it. It also argues that sexuality is constantly submitted to manipulation and that women are more prepared than men to transgress gender constructions.
