This study tries to link the view of the youth who witnessed the uprise of the revolutions of 2011 and 2013 to the Postmodernist culture. Thus, the aim of the study is to know how the Egyptian youth have reacted to post-revolution culture and to what extent they have submitted to the characteristics of Postmodernism or whether they have trespassed this step to acquire a new culture. The researcher applied the anthropological method with the application of case study and everyday life discourse methods with their tools which are beneficial and suitable for the research. Postmodernist culture is measured in accordance to everyday life discourse through the representative words that youth utter, and their reactions and narrations. The researcher also examined mass media caricatures, and informants' words and stories that reflect everyday life culture. The researcher followed a number of methodological procedures starting by literature review that deals with modernism and its consquences. Observing and living in most everyday life experiences with youth and reading articles and caricatures in newspapers and mass media helped the researcher to reach the charisticatics of this period. The main informants of the study were chosen to have a big network of relations with youth from their sons, daughters and their acquaintances. Observing and sharing graduate students in everyday life discourse enabled the researcher to form several group and indepth interviews, as they have the ability to expess themselves and so successfully represent their culture. Consequently, the researcher analysed the fieldwork data of case studies and various interviews in the light of Postmodernist theoretical perspective. The most important conclusions of the research are that Egyptian youth behavior is colored by postmodernist chaos before 25 January revolution. Even reaching "Truth" as youth puts it is now far reaching, as they believe that history is a lie that is forged. However, they believe in God as the only finite Truth, and that The Holy Books carry the truth to us, but religious preachers are the ones who are to blaim as their preachings are not suitable for the age. Besides, objectification of women, late capitalism and technology pessimism, which appeared in postmodernism with its roots in modernism, accelerated and reached their utmost degree in this age. Finally, the researcher reached the conclusion that Egyptian youth culture wavers between modernism and postmodernism and creates a new culture that we might call meta-modernism.

The Paradox of the Despotism and the Liberty at the Ancient Egyptian Sages and Greek Philosophers

The Political philosophers divided into two teams: The first one advocate the despotism of the ruler, the second team advocate the liberty of the people. But through the deliberative reading in political thought we find a third team who advocate both of the despotism of the ruler & the liberty of the people from the eminent representative of this team we find the sages of the ancient Egyptian thought and some Greek philosophers such as Plato, the Stoic philosophers and Cicero . Our theme is the study of this paradox; we mean the advocation of both the despotism of the ruler, and the liberty of the people in the same time by the sages of the ancient Egyptian thought and some Greek philosophers to show if there was really any paradox in their thought or no. The importance of our theme due in the first place to its novelty; as it connects the thinkers of two civilizations whereas some researchers thought they differ in the nature of their nations and their religious, ethical and political beliefs… etc. But in spite of this we found that there are an idea about which the famous thinkers of the two civilizations agree, and this assure the meeting of civilizations instead of their struggle. The second reason for choosing our theme that it clarifies from one side the consistency in the political thought of the philosopher, and from the other side it clarifies the consistency of the political thought of any of the chosen philosophers with other parts of his doctrine. We use in treating our research theme the analytical, comparative and critical method. We arrive after research in our theme to the following results: 1- The sages of the ancient Egyptian thought in spite of their advocation the idea of the deified pharaoh who we must obey his orders, they confess the liberty of the citizens which appear in allowing them to complain of rulers when they were harmed, and also in the gods account to them about their good & bad deeds in the otherworldly court. The advocation of people liberty and in the meantime despotism of ruler didn't contain any paradox ; as they looked to the ruler as merciful father who take care of his children so when he orders them to do something he doesn’t order for arbitrariness in them only , but because knew what was best for them. 2- The advocation of Plato and Stoic philosophers about the despotism of the wise ruler and in the meantime the liberty of people didn’t contain any paradox in their thoughts, as they looked to the ruler as a mind which rule in accordance with knowledge of what is best for his citizens and for this reason he must be obeyed. Liberty for them had a special meaning it is to do what your mind order you to do not what you want. The advocation of Plato and Stoic Philosophers about the complete control of mind about the state affairs is consistent with their other views in their doctrines; as they gave the mind the complete control over what is under him that is in human soul, ethics and nature. 3- Cicero agreed with Plato and Stoic philosophers in their advocation about both of despotism of the ruler and liberty of the people as he confesses as them that mind should control what is beneath him, but Cicero was more realistic than them by supposing his idea about mixed constitution which make the liberal citizens choose the despot who rule them.

The focal point of this study is the date 9/11 which history immortalized as it witnessed the sudden attacks on one of the world’s super powers, the United States of America. The repercussions of this date boomed in the world’s four corners leaving behind feelings of insecurity and fears from the unknown. Whereas 9/11 had many influences on the international and domestic economic, political and social arenas, such influences were reflected in the literary arena as well. Many American playwrights were influenced by the attacks to the extent that such attacks have become the raw material formulating the dramatic substance of their post 9/11 plays and have induced the plays' dramatic conflicts. This study probes into postmodernism and postcolonialism, as two interrelated literary approaches having many intersecting points, to unravel the ideological and textual significance of the 9/11 events as depicted in the two post 9/11 American dramas: The Domestic Crusaders (2005) by Wajahat Ali (1980-) and Dirty Story (2003) by John Shanley (1950-). The study, moreover, proves that the combination of postmodern and postcolonial notions of marginality versus the centrality, cultural hybridity, and the representation of history along with examples of metaphor, irony, allegory, intertextuality, and metatheatre at unequal intervals in both plays stresses that the dramatic meaning of the date 9/11 is explicitly simple and transparent but implicitly sophisticated and multisided.
