The figure of the Jew in the works of the Italian Dramaturgy in comparison to its depictions in the Modern Greek theatrical works, from the 16th century to contemporary times
Summary:
This Doctoral Thesis attempts to explore the “Otherness” through the featuring of the Jew in Italian and Greek theatrical works- by non-Jewish playwrights - from the 16th century (1509) to contemporary times (2018). We investigate the existence of anti-Semitic stereotypes in works written before the Holocaust but also the survival of such stereotypes in modern works, focusing on the type of the Jew as an object of ridicule. The historic, theatrical and comparative approach to the plays aim at depicting the different aspects of this complex and ever-lasting issue. In conclusion, we determine that all intertemporal and so recognizable anti-Semitic stereotypes are found in both Italian and Greek plays. Nevertheless, the motivation, the perspective of the writers is differentiated depending on the era: In older plays, the Jews appear either as eternal enemies, or as deicides, or as objects of derision. On the contrary, plays written after the Holocaust are referring to Jews as victims of an utterly absurd and brutal racism.
