The disintegration of a dream : a study of Sam Shephard's family trilogy, Curse of the starving class, Buried child and True west

Watt, Diane Lilian 11 1900 (has links)
The family trilogy, Curse of the Starving Class, Buried Child and True West, presents Sam Shepard's strong bond with his culture and his people, illustrates an intense connection with the land, and reveals a deep longing for the traditions of the past, through the dramatisation of the betrayal of the American Dream. Although obviously part of the American tradition of family drama, Shepard never completely conforms, subverting the genre by debunking the traditional family in order to make a statement about the present disintegration of the bonds of family life and modern American society. In the trilogy Shepard decries the loss of the old codes connecting with his despair at the debasement of the ideals of the past and the demise of the American Dream. Finally, the plays insist on the importance a new set of tenets to supplant the sterile ethics of modern America / M.A. (English)

山姆謝普家庭三部曲之內在重複結構 / Mise en Abyme in Sam Shepard's Family Trilogy

楊惠君, Yang, Huei-chun Unknown Date (has links)
本文以紀德根據盾徽所提出之內在重複結構,探討美國劇作家山姆謝普的「家庭劇三部曲」。〈烈火家園〉結尾的預言故事說明了家庭成員互相毀滅的行為模式,〈埋葬的孩子〉劇中所揭發的弒子秘密與舞台上的演出相對應,〈西部實錄〉劇中的西部電影大綱正是男主角兄弟鬩牆之爭的寫照。 / Chapter I relates the American playwright Sam Shepard’s life and career. Chapter II introduces the evolution of the idea of "mise en abyme." Chapter III interprets the concluding fable in "Curse of the Starving Class" as the mise en abyme of the play. Chapter IV interprets the secret of the child murder as the duplication of the action of "Buried Child" on stage. Chapter V interprets the Western scenario in "True West" as a reflection of the two brothers’ sibling rivalry in the play.
