[ebooks] Architecture; Islam; and Identity in West Africa: Lessons from Larabanga by Michelle Apotsos in Arts-Photography

Description

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 ndash; Oedipus; Narcissus; Dionysus; Orestes; and Demeter ndash; 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 ONeill; Samuel Beckett; Harold Pinter; David Mamet; Sam Shepard; Marsha Norman; and Will Eno.
