Intellectual and dramatic treatments of the concept of nothingness in the Iraqi theater text

Abstract

Abstract

The theatrical text is one of those expressive forms that imposed an effective presence in revealing relationships within societies as well as searching for information and influential and dominant ideas. The theatrical text has the ability to epitomize and address dramatically philosophical ideas and propositions that affect the writer and enhance his interaction with his society and his society’s awareness of that interaction. This study presents the role of the theatrical text by revealing the concept of nothingness and documenting it across the ages. It also deals with the intellectual and dramatic treatments and productions in Iraq from the positions adopted by the contemporary Iraqi theatrical text.

The importance of the research is evidenced by the fact that it sheds light on intellectual and dramatic treatments of the concept of nothingness in the text of contemporary Iraqi theater with a complete study of its artistic aspects. The study leads to the conclusion that the concept of nothingness is a dormant concept in human thought that surfaces when human thought invokes it by the influence of reality.
