This book analyzes diachronically Samuel Beckett’s dramatic works considering the relation between tragic and tragedy. Philosophical, literary and biblical-theological categories help understanding that in Beckett’s horizon the traditional tragedy is passed but the tragic is more than ever alive. This tragic is expressed through laugh – that Beckett defines dianoethic – and gives birth to a new dramatic and anti-dramatic technique. The book also rebuilds the stage success of the works described and includes a wide and valuable photographic documentation.

Abstract
This book analyzes diachronically Samuel Beckett’s dramatic works considering the relation between tragic and tragedy. Philosophical, literary and biblical-theological categories help understanding that in Beckett’s horizon the traditional tragedy is passed but the tragic is more than ever alive. This tragic is expressed through laugh – that Beckett defines dianoethic – and gives birth to a new dramatic and anti-dramatic technique. The book also rebuilds the stage success of the works described and includes a wide and valuable photographic documentation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
