内容説明
This study of David Mamet's work investigates the moral vision and cultural poetics upon which this playwright's aesthetic vision is founded. A seminal figure in American drama whose ascendant reputation as an innovative playwright and filmmaker demands an appraisal of his thought and the evolution of his craft, Mamet's commitment to the dynamic of ethics and ethnicity heavily informs his work. Tracing the development of Mamet's canon over a period of 20 years from his early unpublished play "Marranos" through his most recent work, this text examines the subtle link between the moral vision and ethical behaviour that distinguishes Mamet's theatre and film. It offers a rationale for the prominence and prevalence of the pedagogical relationships, the struggle for dominance, the moral imperative, the consequences of conduct, and the orientation of life that unify his work, and argues the significance of Jewish values and cultural experience that have been insufficiently acknowledged in Mamet's canon.
