English term or phrase: understanding of selfhood
Shadows presents early examples of this performative and relational understanding of selfhood, Faces and A Woman Under the Influence are even clearer illustrations of it in Cassavetes’ oeuvre—and even clearer illustrations of the tragic consequences of characters’ failures to connect, interact, and relationally perform their identities in this way. To attempt to control experience, bully or intimidate others, or manage outcomes—as Freddie, McCarthy, and Louise attempt to do in Faces and Nick attempts to do in A Woman Under the Influence—is to be doomed.)
