Performing Against Annihilation : Identity and Consciousness in J.R.R. Tolkien, Richard Wagner and George R.R. Martin Paperback / softback
by Lukas Schepp
Paperback / softback
Description
This book outlines how the protagonists in The Nibelung's Ring, The Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones attempt to construct identities and expand their consciousness manifestations.
As the characters in the three works face the ends of their respective worlds, they must find answers to their mortality, and to the threat it implies: the loss of identity and consciousness.
Moreover, it details how this process is depicted performatively.
In a hands-on and interdisciplinary approach, this book seeks to unveil the underlying philosophical concepts of identity and consciousness in the three works as they are represented audio-visually on stage and screen.
Through the use of many practical examples, this book offers both academic scholars and any interested readers a completely new perspective on three enduringly popular and interrelated works.
