Fear-Driven Dialogue
This study explores how fear as a mood state affects conversational patterns and shapes communicative behavior. It offers a novel perspective on how fear influences both verbal and nonverbal interactions. Drawing on dialogues from Woody Allen’s Death Knocks and Death, the analysis employs Conversation Analysis by Jack Sidnell (2010) and the multimodal extensions proposed by Lorenza Mondada (2019). The study addresses a notable gap by applying bot…

It addresses a gap in previous research by being the first to utilize a carnivalistic approach to the analysis of The Circus Train, demonstrating how Bakhtin's…
Unsettling the Norm
Drawing on a posthumanist theory, this paper tackles the voices of children with intellectual disability in Erskine’s Mockingbird (2010).

By such an integration of PTSD theory, intersectional feminism, and social critique, the study presents a new approach to …

Traditionally, drama has been characterized by linear narratives and coherent character development. In contrast, postdramatic theater departs from these conventions by integrating fragmented performance modes and emphasizing sensory engagement over plot-driven storytelling. Despite substantial literature on the subject, limited research has investigated how these techniques influence audience engagement. This study addresses that gap by analyzin…
