The Noam Chomsky Lectures: A Canadian Postmodern Politics

In this paper I argue The Noam Chomsky Lectures by Daniel Brooks and Guillermo Verdecchia serves as an example of how postmodernism and politics can meet in a theatrical setting. Drawing from the theories of Frederic Jameson, with a critical analysis of the play’s self-reflexivity, meta-theatricality, and deconstruction of aesthetic conventions, I show how The Noam Chomsky Lectures is a cognitive map, guiding its audience through the complexities of contemporary society.
