Cultural Negotiations in Revisionist Mythmaking: Comparative Reading of Bahram Beyzaei and Mary Zimmerman
Although more than fifty years have passed since feminist scholars pioneered revisionist mythmaking, drama remains underexplored in this field despite its unique potential for cultural and social reinterpretation. This study offers a comparative analysis of revisionist mythmaking in Iranian and American drama, specifically examining Bahram Beyzaei’s play, One Thousand and First Night alongside Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses as examples. This rese…
The Confluence of Time in Allende’s The House of the Spirits, Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, and Borges’s The Aleph and Other Stories
This paper discusses how the concepts of time, history, and magical realism interlink in Allende's The House of the Spirits, Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, and Borges's collection of short stories, The Aleph and Other Stories. In each of these works, the author uses magical realism as a means to retell historical incidents and personal experiences, rewriting at least some historical options by nonlinearity, even to the level of philosop…
The The Dream Denied: Elizabeth Alexander’s Poem “The Venus Hottentot” through A Philanthropic Framework
The aim of the present study is to reveal discursive ways through which racial objectification, gendered exploitation, and institutional negotiation are intertextually woven in and through Elizabeth Alexander’s (1990) seminal poem The Venus Hottentot via a Philanthropic Framework. In particular, the study examines how poetic strategies deployed by Alexander reappropriate the silenced voice of Saartjie Baartman, a South African woman whose body wa…

The End of Humanity in Herbert George Wells’ The Island of Doctor Moreau: An Unpredictable Encounter of Evolution and Posthumanism
This study attempts to scrutinize Herbert George Wells’ The Island of Doctor Moreau according to Francesca Ferrando’s Posthumanism Theory (2009). It approaches vital issues and questions via the posthumanist criticism of the main character Dr. Moreau in the novel depending on the application issues of Ferrando’s theory. Wells’ The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896) presents a realistic reading of the modern debate of Posthumanism according to the mor…
From King Lear to King James: The Problem of Ocularcentrism in Early Modern England
The present article explores how William Shakespeare’s King Lear thoughtfully challenges the primacy of sight among the senses, with implications for our understanding of the play’s relationship both to its immediate political context and to the history of ocularcentrism in early modern England. Adopting a new historicist approach, this article claims that writing King Lear in the midst of heated debates on the Anglo-Scottish Union was both a rea…
Sex-typed or Androgynous: Gender Representations in One Sentence Is Ten Thousand Sentences and The Blind Assassin
Although the gender landscape has been experiencing a significant amount of change and flexibility in many parts of the world over the past few decades, societal messages regarding gender roles and expectations can still remain conventional. It is likely that such a perplexing paradox becomes reinforced while portraying male or female characters in fiction. Inspired by Sandra Bem’s gender schema theory introduced in 1981, this research aims to ex…
A Levinasian Reading of Shakespeare’s the Winter’s Tale and Sarah Kane’s Phaedra’s Love
This research aims to compare Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale (1623) with Kane’s Phaedra’s Love (1996) from the viewpoint of Levinas and his ideas on the relationship between being and the Other expressed in his pivotal work Otherwise than Being or Beyond Essence (1978). The central events of the two plays are analyzed based on the text to flesh out the similarities and differences the two playwrights have with regard to their treatment of the ap…
“Look With Thine Ears”: The Deprecation of Ocularcentric Culture in William Shakespeare’s King Lear
In his groundbreaking research on the broad phenomenon of Western visual culture in important intellectual eras, Martin Jay touches on the abundance of ocular references in Renaissance literature and cites the example of William Shakespeare whose works are replete with visual metaphors. Notwithstanding extensive research on the role of vision in Shakespeare’s works, it seems that scant attention has been paid to the Bard’s deprecation of ocularce…
A Socio-Cognitive Study of Ethnocentric Discourse in Lynn Nottage’s Sweat
Being some major problems of our contemporary world, racism and ethnocentrism demand persistent critical scrutiny. One oft-neglected aspect of these problems is how such prejudices are shared and communicated among the members of the dominant group. This study examines Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Sweat (2015), as a dramatic representation of how racism and ethnocentrism are reproduced and communicated as a social cognition. To thi…
The Theater of a Liberal Ironist: The American West and the Female Self in Shepard’s a Lie of Mind
The formation and the establishment of the United States firmly adheres to two beliefs of the American dream and the American west. Though the American dream was part of American culture from its beginning, the other one became the driving force of American culture in the second part of the twentieth century when Sam Shepard began his career as a playwright. During this time, American theater emerged into a main arena for the presentation of the …
Rhizomatic Cosmopolitan and Wilsonian Recursive Vision in Joe Turner’s Come and Gone
Being the constant wanderer for the lost identity in the polyethnic land of America, African Americans bear striking resemblance to the figure of flâneur with dialectical image of local and cosmopolitan citizen of the universe. The spirit of flânerie proves its geographical historical expansion in both postmodern and African American context while its performative action navigates it in dramatic texts. Hence, Wilsonian characters identical with c…
Heidegger and the Question of Freedom in The Eumenides
This paper first applies Heidegger's notion of in/authenticity to Orestes in Aeschylus' The Eumenides. The examination of authenticity is the departure point after which the question of freedom in this tragedy can be addressed mainly with Heidegger's Being and Time in view. It then discusses a possible interpretation of the Greek god Apollo which frees and yet entangles Orestes in his course of decisions, which is also a harbinger of a new histor…
