Time, Memory, Identity, Samuel Beckett, Marcel ProustАннотация
Beckett’s essay on Proust, in which he examines the philosophical concepts of time, memory and identity, has exerted enormous influence on modernist and post-modernist writers, who have consciously adapted and re- synthesized the ideas he developed not only in the essay but also in his plays in general. Although he was not the creator of the “memory play”, Beckett has helped to establish the new genre by reflecting upon philosophical problems and adapting psychological phenomena for dramatic theory, besides extending the limits of the dramatic. His theatrical experiments have been considered as examples of the strictest form of the “memory play”.
