Deconstructing American values and moralities in Wendy Wasserstein’s an American daughter

Abstract EN

This research studies the Deconstruction of American Values and Moralities in Wendy Wasserstein's An American Daughter.

Itexamines how Wasserstein's An American Daughter can be seen as a means of exposing the structural contradiction dwelling at the core of the American society.

It anticipates such reading through the use of Jacques Derrida's concept of Pharmakon.

The results reveal the correlation between Wasserstein's disruptive thinking and Derrida's deconstructive approach.
