Abstract Details

2009, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, English.
The dissertation examines dramatic and performance texts selected from four regions representative of distinct colonial relations: Irish, Nigerian, American Indian, and Korean. Part One examines global and local intersections (glocality) shown in the case of postcolonial artists’ engagement with Western absurdist theatre. Part Two investigates how postcolonial and Indigenous artists re-center pre-colonial and indigenous memories (glocal-locality). I argue that a focused analysis of artworks and artists’ choices in global and local circuits not only provides more spatio-temporally and politically sensitive understandings of cultural syncretism, but also reveals a paradigm shift—roughly from the 1970s—in postcolonial and Indigenous artists’ navigation of global and globalizing influences and concerns.
