SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"In this study, Bruce McConachie uses the primary metaphor of containment - what happens when we categorize a play, a television shows, or anything we view as having an inside, an outside, and a boundary between the two - as the dominant metaphor of Cold War theatergoing. Drawing on the cognitive psychology and linguistics of George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, he provides unusual access to the ways in which spectators in the Cold War years projected themselves into stage figures that gave them pleasure."
Text of Note
"McConachie reconstructs these cognitive processes by relying on scripts, set designs, reviews, memoirs, and other evidence. After establishing his theoretical framework, he focuses on three archetypal figures of containment significant in Cold War culture: Empty Boys, Family Circles, and Fragmented Heroes.
Text of Note
McConachie uses a range of plays, musicals, and modern dances from the dominant culture of the Cold War to discuss these figures, including The Seven Year Itch, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The King and I, A Raisin in the Sun, Night Journey, and The Crucible. In an epilogue, he discusses the legacy of Cold War theater form 1962 to 1992"--Jacket.
