| 520 | 3 | |a The animal and the human share a long and intricate relationship in the history of art and philosophy. Many arguments have been proposed in Western critical thinking in order to establish a power relation in which the animal and the human occupy the inferior and superior position respectively. In the first part of my paper, I map various proposals that had been made along the lines of language use and I examine the implications these had concerning the status of the animal in Western culture and the emergence of the human Self. With the advent of postmodernity, these previously heavily institutionalized aspects of culture come to the fore and are rigorously problematized. Thanks to the growing concern regarding the human subjugation of animals, the first animal rights discourses are formulated. At the same time, the human Self which used to be conceptualized as a homogeneous, transparent, and definite entity was now revealed by postsemiotics and deconstruction to be socially constructed and performative in nature. In the second part of my investigation, I examine the ways in which these phenomena manifest themselves in two Anglo-American plays, namely Adrienne Kennedy’s The Owl Answers and Peter Shaffer’s Equus. Via the comparative analysis of the dramatic texts and theatrical adaptations of the two plays, I illustrate how the theatre and especially the theatre of Adrienne Kennedy, which uses corporeal modes of signification extensively beside linguistic ones, is more capable to achieve the egalitarian representation of animals and humans. | |
