Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
There are three goals to this course: to practice the analysis and interpretation of dramatic texts; to learn about theatrical traditions of the 20th century; and to stock up on knowledge about 20th century Irish (literary, cultural, social) history. We are going to achieve these through discussing a broad range of plays from different genres written by male and female playwrights, following different aesthetic programmes and/or political agendas. While the course's first part is going to be dedicated to canonical authors (Yeats/Gregory, O'Casey, Beckett), its second part will deal with contemporary pieces.This course is designed to provide you with a broad knowledge about the theatrical traditions in 20th century Ireland. You will be able to improve your skills for analysing dramatic texts and grasping historical contexts. You will learn to use concepts put forward by (contemporary) literary or cultural theory to produce enriched interpretations. You will have opportunities to practice close reading and positioning yourselves (critically and in support of) scholarly texts. The specialist model will enhance your skills in structuring a discussion, while the feedback-loop will hopefully boost your learning curve.

Literatur
Books to buy:
As far as the classics (Yeats/Gregory; GBS; O'Casey; Beckett) are concerned, any respectable edition is fine. As regards the living authors, you may consider purchasing the plays individually or as part of the playwrights' collections. I do realise plays are more expensive than novels, but these authors are artists who try to live off their pens. These are editions you might contemplate checking out of the library (the classics) or purchasing (the recent plays):James Pethica (ed.), "Collaborative One-Act Plays, 1901-1903" (contains Yeats's/Gregory's "Cathleen Ni Houlihan") [ISBN: 978-0801441721]
