Writing and / or Revolution: „The hospital at the Time of the Revolution“ by Caryl Churchill

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes Caryl Churchill’s play in the light of Riane Eisler’s theory of Cultural Transformation, expressed in The Chalice and the Blade: Our History Our Future and centered on the shift from “the partnership model“ to “the dominator model” of society. Churchill’s play The Hospital at the Time of the Revolution, Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth on which it is based, and Aime Cesaire’s Discourse on Colonialism, show how colonialism functions as a manifestation of “the dominator model”, represented by the blade. In keeping with Naomi Wallace’s view that writing should be a transgression and liberation from ideologica prejudices, and Harold Pinter’s view that the search for truth should be the subject of art, this paper higlights the links that exist between imperialism, colonialism, and Nacism, and exposes the traumas that destructive social organizations continue to inflicts upon man.
