Özet
This study argues that double consciousness as a sociopsychological situation manifests in various ways under colonial and postcolonial circumstances. Although W.E.B. Du Bois introduced the concept of double consciousness at the beginning of the twentieth century to describe an inward feeling of doubleness experienced by African American individuals, this concept has inspired postcolonial theorists such as Homi K. Bhabha, Stuart Hall, and Paul Gilroy. Hence, this study will briefly explain the contemporary theoretical reflections of Du Bois’s concept of double consciousness, demonstrating how this concept can be handled with a more contemporary and comprehensive perspective and exemplifying this through the plays of Nigerian playwright Wole Soyinka. Examples have been selected from Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman, The Lion and the Jewel, and The Invention. These plays show various manifestations of double consciousness as a condition involving a double-sided interaction between the colonizer and the colonized. Each play reveals a different aspect of double consciousness with its expanded and updated meaning in this study.
