The Self & The Other in The discourse of The Marginalized Theater in the United States after 1968" "Socio-cultural study" (original) (raw)

The paper explores the dynamics of the self and other within marginalized theatre in the United States post-1968, emphasizing the deconstruction of dominant discourses. It examines how marginalized narratives navigate identity formation, contrasting them with the conventions of dominant theatre that prioritize linear storytelling and spotlight hegemonic cultural narratives. The author argues that marginalized voices offer alternative mechanisms of identity expression that foster community over individualism, particularly through themes of collectivism, spirituality, and redefining familial connections.
