In theorizing the failure of the Enlightenment and the rise of the postmodern Sublime, this work encompasses all the major thinkers from Hegel, Nietzsche, Derrida, ?i?ek, Jameson, Adorno, Lyotard, Bauman to Baudrillard thereby tracing out the evolution of modernity to postmodernity substantiated in the dramatic works by Shaw, O’Neill, Synge, Joyce, Pledger, Pinter and Beckett. This work tackles the compelling subject of the postmodern sublime, which renders objects, referents or the reality sublime i.e., unrecognizable and unpresentable beyond human imagination and understanding. Compared to preceding dramaturgical research on postmodern drama highlighting the two vital elements of mise-en- scene, i.e., playfulness and performativity, the thesis of this work is epistemological based on a tripartite taxonomy of the postmodern sublime: 1) the politico-economical sublime; 2) the textual sublime; 3) the technological sublime. The epistemological approach thus questions the nature of reality represented on stage in lieu of dramaturgical strategies or performance phenomena currently practiced among drama critics.
