25.02.2008 - Interpretation of dali48 + update

As a human rights activist Wole Soyinka has been a courageous voice for justice, freedom, and the end of tyranny! - But the ultimate lesson is just sit down and write! - That's all! ... (UC Berkely)

What did John Locke say about tyranny? - AS usurpation is the exercise of power, which another hath a right to; so tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which no body can have a right to. And this is making use of the power any one has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private separate advantage.

What is the relationship between justice and freedom? - Justice and freedom are interdependent: paradoxically, freedom is dependent on justice, because without justice only the powerful would have freedom. Here trust is also paramount, because justice that doesn't incorporate trust becomes oppression, and oppression is antithetical to freedom.
Soyinka wrote a number of radio plays (1961) until the government quashed his efforts for being overly critical! - After being wrongly accused of conspiring (1965) to broadcast false election results on the radio, he was arrested. - A protest over his imprisonment was organised by an international group of writers, including Norman Mailer and William Styron, - and he was freed 3 months later! - During his imprisonment, Soyinka surreptitiously composed on discarded cigarette packages, toilet paper, and between the lines of books he secretly managed to acquire! - That served my sanity, just to be able to scribble some things from time to time! - And I think that would be true of most writers! ... (BBC, Radio 4)

What is a scribble in psychology? - Scribbles that feature random dots and squiggles can indicate a scattered, unfocused state of mind. These shapes may represent confusion, ambiguity, or a lack of clarity, and the act of drawing them may be a way to organize or make sense of chaotic thoughts.
22.02.2008 - Interpretation of dali48Soyinka's plays range from comedy to tragedy, and from political satire to the theater of the absurd! - He has combined influences from Western traditions with African myth, legends and folklore, and such techniques as singing and drumming! ... (Pegasus Author's Calendar)

What does Aristotle say about tragedy and comedy? - Aristotle finds that tragedy deals with serious, important, and virtuous people. Comedy, on the other hand, treats of less virtuous people and focuses on human "weaknesses and foibles".

What is the gap between tragedy and comedy? - Both see misfortune, vice, folly, and, in general, the gap between the real and the ideal as part of the human condition. But tragedy sees these leading to downfall and death, while comedy sees them as something we can live with and even enjoy.

Was sind die drei Elemente der Satire? - Was ist Satire? Satire ist die Verwendung literarischer Mittel wie Humor, Übertreibung oder Ironie, um jemanden oder etwas aus pädagogischen Gründen zu kritisieren.28.01.2025

Das absurde Theater ist eine Theaterbewegung des 20. Jahrhunderts, die die Sinnlosigkeit der Welt und des menschlichen Daseins thematisiert. Es entstand in Paris und breitete sich nach New York City aus. MerkmaleDie Stücke sind nicht an traditionelle Theaterformen gebunden, sondern poetischer oder lyrischer. Die Sprache wird abgewertet, da die Dramatiker die konventionelle Sprache für gescheitert hielten. Die Stücke fokussieren auf den Geisteszustand der Figuren, die in unlogischen Situationen gefangen sind. Die Figuren sind oft Opfer des Schicksals und können ihre Situation nicht wesentlich verändern. Die Welt wirkt auf die Figuren ein, und sie müssen sich dem beugen, was ihnen auferlegt wird. Bedeutende Autoren Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco, Arthur Adamov, Harold Pinter. Beispiele Warten auf Godot von Samuel Beckett, The Birthday Party von Harold Pinter, Rhinoceros von Eugène Ionesco. Begründer des BegriffsDer Kritiker Martin Esslin prägte den Begriff „Theater des Absurden“ in seinem 1965 erschienenen Buch Absurd Drama. 
A prophet has honor except in his own home! - Wise men have been called mad! ... (from The Lion and the Jewel)e Jewel)

Interpretation of dali48

Those who have much to give fulfill themselves only in total loneliness! - American and British writers, among them Lilian Hellman and Robert Lowell, protested to the Nigerian government, and Soyinka was released! - The Man Died (1972), describes his time in jail. The book was banned in Nigeria! - Madmen And Specialists, written in 1970, is Soyinka's most pessimistic play. It dealt with man's inhumanity and pervasive corruption in structures of power! - Like the writer and human rights activist Ken Saro-Wiwa (1941 - 1995), Soyinka has criticized the corruption brought to Nigeria by the oil industry! - Saro-Wiwa was hanged despite of international protests! - He has been one of the most outspoken critics of the concept on negritude, which has been associated with Leopold Senghor, the writer and former President of Senegal (see dali48 and reading Senghor in French in the 70s)! - Soyinka defends the idea, that the West should pay reparations for crimes committed against African people! - Some people think the Nobel Prize makes you bulletproof! - "I never had that illusion" - Soyinka once said! ... (P.A.C.)

Mugabe is one of these dictators who wants to die in office, and will crush all dissenting views in the crudest manner, - killing his opponents, torturing them, burning their houses! ... (Soyinka in a CNN interview, 2001)

Interpretation of dali48

Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Soyinka (born 1934) is a Nigerian writer, notable especially as a playwright and poet. - He was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature, the first person in Africa and the diaspora to be so honored. - He supported the freedom of worship but warned against the consequence of the illogic of allowing religions to preach apocalyptic violence! ...
