OBJECTIVES<br>
British drama since 1980 has been the subject of extensive and varied critical attention. The core purpose of this <br> course would be to provide students with a coherent guide to the changing territory of contemporary British theatre <br> and drama from 1980 to the present. At the hub of debate are the contours of Britishness, and how the United <br> Kingdom has become an increasingly unstable locus for multiple identities which have themselves radically<br> changed over the period. The course will be organised around the following topics: Thatcherism: Theatre of the <br> Watershed Era; Gender: Feminism, Masculinity and Queerness on Stage; Race, Multiculturalism, Hybridity: Presenting the New Britain; Postcolonialism and devolution: Redefining the United Kingdom; Cool Britannia: A debatable ‘Golden Age’; and Truth and Terror: Responding to Crises Post-9/11.<br> <br> The full syllabus and assessment criteria will be shared on Moodle.<br> <br> 3.3.2021 PLEASE NOTE: This class is full. No extra enrollments are possible. Poslední úprava: Wallace Clare, doc., M.A., Ph.D. (03.03.2021)
