Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach combining linguistics, literature, history and cultural studies, this thesis looked at similarities and dissimilarities in the construction and deconstruction of national identity in the two plays. Ruth Wodak et al.’s linguistic approach developed in the work on Critical Discourse Analysis describing the construction of national identity in non-literary texts provided a framework, which has been modified for the analysis of the two dramatic texts under consideration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eContents\u003c\/i\u003e: Historical Context: The Emerging of National Identity in Ireland and Austria in the Early Twentieth Century – The Role of Drama in the Construction of National Identity – Searching for the Soul: Tom Murphy and Felix Mitterer – Dramatic Discourse – Tom Murphy: \u003ci\u003eThe Patriot Game\u003c\/i\u003e – Felix Mitterer: \u003ci\u003eIn der Löwengrube\u003c\/i\u003e – Reconstructing National Identity in Drama:\u003ci\u003e In der Löwengrube\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Patriot Game\u003c\/i\u003e Compared.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044197761367,"sku":"9783631581117","price":53.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631581117.jpg?v=1750960830","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/constructing-and-deconstructing-national-identity-dramatic-discourse-in-tom-murphy-s-the-patriot-game-and-felix-mitterer-s-in-der-loewengrube-9783631581117","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
