Sumario:The play In the Republic of Happiness by Martin Crimp (2012) begins with the unwelcome arrival of Uncle Bob, in the middle of a family's Christmas lunch. He is the bearer of a confusing message, on which the play subsequently revolves; this message parodies ferociously one of the most predominant discourses in current capitalistic ideology: narcissistic individualism. This dissertation intends to analyse the notion of parody in order to contextualize it within Crimp's dramaturgical gesture. At the same time this notion articulates the analysis of narcissism, and consequently, of the collapse of socialization, both seen though Gilles Lipovetsky's insightful research. Both perspectives, the aesthetic and the philosophical, are complementary and lead to an ethical turn, which is inherent in contemporary British drama.
