Disgraced: Diesterwegs Neusprachliche Bibliothek - Englische Abteilung / Sekundarstufe II
Autor Ayad Akhtaren Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2018
In seinem Drama diskutiert Ayad Akhtar anhand aufgeklärter Karrieristen im vermeintlich politisch korrekten Fahrwasser hochaktuelle, brennende Themen der US-amerikanischen Gesellschaft zwischen Patriot Act und Integration, alltäglichem Rassismus und Terrorismus.
Über das Drama:
Im wichtigsten Teil des Stückes geht es um ein Dinner auf der Upper East Side, bei dem Vertreter der wichtigsten New Yorker Minderheiten um einen Abendbrottisch versammelt sitzen. Isaac, ein typischer New Yorker Jude und seine Frau Jory, eine afroamerikanische Juristin und Kollegin von Amir Jory, soziale Aufsteigerin, die ein Kissinger-Zitat über ihrem Schreibtisch hängen hat, sind bei Amir und Emily zum Abendessen eingeladen. Amir Kapoor lebt den amerikanischen Traum: Der Sohn pakistanischer Einwanderer ist Anwalt und arbeitet in einer renommierten jüdischen Kanzlei in New York. Er trägt teure Hemden, genießt gutes Essen und wohnt in einem Loft in der Upper East Side von Manhattan. Emily, Amirs Ehefrau, eine aufstrebende Malerin, die durch die Kunst die islamische Kultur für sich entdeckt hat, ist die einzige weißhäutige, angelsächsische Protestantin.
Man spricht über die Anwaltskanzlei, plant Emilys Ausstellung und bevor man noch beim Hauptgang angekommen ist, zeigt sich, dass eine aufgeklärte Lebensphilosophie nicht vor Vorurteilen und latentem Rassismus schützt...
Diese Ausgabe enthält das Drama als Ganzschrift angereichert mit hilfreichen Annotationen vorwiegend in englischer Sprache. Eine Kurzbiographie Ayad Akhtars, ein Interview mit dem Autor, wichtige Hintergrundinformationen und ein thematisches Glossar sowie weitere Literaturempfehlungen runden das Angebot ab.

Recenzii
"The
best
play
I
saw
last
year....
[a]
quick-witted
and
shattering
drama....
DISGRACED
rubs
all
kinds
of
unexpected
raw
spots
with
intelligence
and
humor."
---Linda
Winer,Newsday
"A sparkling and combustible contemporary drama.... Ayad Akhtar's one-act play deftly mixes the political and personal, exploring race, freedom of speech, political correctness, even the essence of Islam and Judaism. The insidery references to the Hamptons and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and art critic Jerry Saltz are just enough to make audience members feel smart.... Akhtar...has lots to say about America and the world today. He says it all compellingly, and none of it is comforting." ---Philip Boroff,Bloomberg Businessweek
"Compelling... DISGRACED raises and toys with provocative and nuanced ideas." ---Jesse Oxfeld,New York Observer
"A continuously engaging, vitally engaged play about thorny questions of identity and religion in the contemporary world.... In dialogue that bristles with wit and intelligence, Mr. Akhtar...puts contemporary attitudes toward religion under a microscope, revealing how tenuous self-image can be for people born into one way of being who have embraced another.... Everyone has been told that politics and religion are two subjects that should be off limits at social gatherings. But watching Mr. Akhtar's characters rip into these forbidden topics, there's no arguing that they make for ear-tickling good theater." ---Charles Isherwood,New York Times
"[A] blistering social drama about the racial prejudices that secretly persist in progressive cultural circles." ---Marilyn Stasio,Variety
"Terrific.... DISGRACED...unfolds with speed, energy and crackling wit.... The evening will come to a shocking end, but before that, there is the sparkling conversation, expertly rendered on the page by Akhtar.... Talk of 9/11, of Israel and Iran, of terrorism and airport security, all evokes uncomfortable truths. Add a liberal flow of alcohol and a couple of major secrets suddenly revealed, and you've got yourself one dangerous dinner party..... In the end, one can debate what the message of the play really is. Is it that we cannot escape our roots, or perhaps simply that we don't ever really know who we are, deep down, until something forces us to confront it? Whatever it is, when you finally hear the word 'disgraced' in the words of one of these characters, you will no doubt feel a chill down your spine." ---Jocelyn Noveck,AP
"Offers an engaging snapshot of the challenge for upwardly mobile Islamic Americans in the post-9/11 age." ---Thom Geier,Entertainment Weekly
"Akhtar digs deep to confront uncomfortable truths about the ways we look at race, culture, class, religion, and sex in this bracingly adult, unflinching drama... [He] writes incisive, often quite funny dialogue and creates vivid characters, managing to cover a lot of ground in a mere four scenes and 80 minutes. Akhtar doesn't offer any solutions to the thorny issues he presents so effectively. What he does is require us to engage them, and that's a very good and necessary thing." ---Erik Haagensen, Backstage.com
"DISGRACED stands among recent marks of an increasing and welcome phenomenon: the arrival of South Asian and Middle Eastern Americans as presences in our theater's dramatis personae, matching their presence in our daily life. Like all such phenomena, it carries a double significance. An achievement and a sign of recognition for those it represents, for the rest of us it constitutes the theatrical equivalent of getting to know the new neighbors-something we had better do if we plan to survive as a civil society." ---Michael Feingold,The Village Voice
"Skillfully adopts the well-worn dramatic device of the imploding dinner party to scratch beneath the surface of multicultural harmony.... Smart, spiky entertainment.... A stimulating, sobering work from a distinctive new American playwright."—David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
