Abstract:

Premiere partie : les options specifiques dans l'appel au reel : o'casey a raison de refuser l'etiquette realiste. Mais il s'attache a des fragments multiples de realite, a des reels, a la vie. Ces niveaux de realite sont permanents dans l'oeuvre (indications sceniques, echanges verbaux dans la banalite du quotidien, absence de psychologie traditionnelle mais plausibilite minimale dans les personnages, situations centrales au lieu d'intrigues classiques, stylisation de l'histoire, didactisme, melodrame, comique, langage). Deuxieme partie : expressions et finalites de l'irreel : l'evolution de

Abstract:

En irlande, du debut du siecle aux annees soixante, les femmes subissent, dans tous les domaines, la volonte de domination de leurs congeneres masculins. Leurs droits elementaires sont bafoues : elles sont privees de citoyennete, releguees au foyer malgre leur resistance. Sean o'casey, dans son oeuvre dramatique, au cours de toute cette periode, depeint des personnages feminins en lutte pour leur liberation. Il montre des heroines courageuses face a des compagnons couards, volontaires face a des amants timores, constantes dans leur desir de s'emanciper. Il donne a voir des representations de f

Abstract:

This thesis provides a radical re-reading of a'Casey's early work, which sheds new light upon the later plays. The orthodox reading of the socalled 'Dublin Plays' - The Shadow of a Gunman (1923), Juno and the Paycock (1924) and The Plough and the Stars (1926) - as a triumph in theatrical naturalism that is never matched in the later plays, is here strongly countered. The thesis seeks to demonstrate that far from being dramatic failures, the later plays are fresh and dynamic, a logical and natural progression from the formal and thematic experiments within the early plays. The thesis argues tha

Abstract:

This thesis argues that prominent in the purposes of the dramaturgy of Irish playwright Sean O'Casey was the promotion of his political causes - most notably socialism. In his avidity for the cause of establishing a workers' paradise, following the Soviet model, in Ireland, his ire was drawn to the movements and institutions he perceived as distracting the masses from pursuit of this ideal: republicanism and the Church. These political ideals are prominent themes in his collected works - both fiction and non-fiction. The work is essentially divided into two sections. The first examines the dev

Abstract:

This is a study of popular festive laughter in Sean O'Casey's drama. It argues that O'Casey's use of the strategies of laughter is an integral part of his political vision. The concept of festive laughter is derived from the theory of Mikhail Bakhtin, and is related, in this thesis, to the culture of low life in O'Casey's Dublin. Through a detailed analysis of O'Casey's plays, this study shows how the forms of laughter function to interrogate the hegemonic political, economic, and cultural discourses of the Irish society of his time. The Dublin trilogy counters the nationalist ideology and its

Abstract:

The purpose of this dissertation is to define the scope of naturalism in British working-class drama with special reference to the plays of D.H. Lawrence, Sean O'Casey and Joe Corrie. To fulfill such a project, I undertook a personal assessment of the theory of naturalism and its practice in the theatre. For the purpose of being more comprehensive, I carried out a comparative study between working-class naturalism and that of the New Drama since the latter preceded the former. Having assessed and evaluated the theory of naturalism, in general, and its manifestation in the works of the new dram

O drama irlandês tem contribuído muito para o debate e revisionismo sobre a identidade irlandesa e, no século XX, a Revolta da Páscoa em 1916 foi escolhida como contexto por alguns dramaturgos irlandeses pra promover uma reflexão sobre essa questão. Sean O'Casey e Tom Murphy apresentaram versões da Revolta da Páscoa nos palcos do Abbey que abordaram a

Abstract:

This dissertation demonstrates that twentieth-century dramas by Sean O'Casey, John Osborne, and Harold Pinter continue the convention of nineteenth-century domestic drama. From the expressionist movement, theatre of the absurd, and theatre of anger, to the theatre of extremes, diverse theatrical experiments in the twentieth century urged critics to focus on the contemporary theatrical effort to break away from convention. Consequently, critics have often emphasized the disconnectedness of the twentieth-century avant-garde theatre from nineteenth-century conventions, especially from the traditi

It is an attemp to reveal O'Casey's representation of the affliction of war by women's unique heroic sacrifice. In the two plays, O'Casey presents his female charaters' superb ability in dealing with the task of life. Such insights make O' Casey's plays different from the traditional masculine dominant plays.
