A Theater Event or A Narrative Study of Identity Exploration
Amia Lieblich, Hebrew University and the Academic College of Tel-Aviv
Jaffo, Israel
Identity is one of the central concepts and enigmas of personality theory.
Is it stable or changing? Single or multiple? Personal or social? the
idea that identity is one’s life-story is one of the keys to the riddle. the
present paper develops the identity-story concept further in demonstrating
how a theater improvisation, performed together with other
actors, may provide a powerful lens for examining the construction
and elaboration of one’s personal identity. the content, form and context
of the theater event manifest the multi-layered nature of human
identity.
Alfred Stieglitz and Donald Judd: A comparison of Two Titans of Creative
Spaces
Lillian Cartwright, University of California, Berkeley and San Francisco,
USA
Creative persons, processes, and products are routinely studied yet
creative environments are given short shrift. In examining Alfred
Stieglitz’s life as a single case study, I identified multiple factors
associated with his ability to construct a creative environment. the
guidelines include: the presence of a compelling, creative person
with a big vision; a drive to fulfill the dream. Writing and critiquing
allows the vision to be disseminated. Attracting and keeping astute
colleague-advisors is necessary. Financial resources are essential. Is
Stieglitz a-one- of- a -kind or are there others whose lives match his?
I now consider the life of Donald Judd (1928-1994), the American
sculptor who established an installation space in the high desert of
Marfa, texas. the qualitative methods used include the single case
study informed by psychobiographic inquiry, narrative theory, and
analysis of written texts.
