爱德华·阿尔比托尼奖作品的元戏剧解读

发布时间:2023-05-08 00:09
  爱德华·阿尔比(1928-2016),三次获得普利策奖得主,是20世纪最具影响力的美国剧作家之一。作为一位多产而富有成就的剧作家,阿尔比在剧本创作和戏剧导演方面都对美国现代戏剧做出了巨大的贡献。他的托尼奖获奖戏剧《谁怕弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫?》和《山羊或谁是西尔维娅?》被称为其最挑衅、最大胆同时也最具争议性的作品。阿尔比在这两部戏剧中都运用了元戏剧手法,揭示了幻觉与现实之间的对立。元戏剧手法的运用能够使一部戏剧呈现出多重层次,这种多层次性在元戏剧分析过程中具有重要意义。本文研究了阿尔比托尼奖获奖戏剧中的元戏剧手法,旨在分析理查德·霍恩比的元戏剧手法在爱德华·阿尔比两部戏剧中的运用。研究重点在剧中体现的元戏剧手法上,包括戏中戏、戏中仪典、角色的角色扮演。与之相对应,阿尔比在剧中使用的元戏剧手法是他对存在问题、社会问题和个人问题的质问与回答。在此基础上,进一步研究剧中的文学参照、生活参照和自我参照。本文的意义在于以下三个方面:首先,本文以解读戏剧《谁害怕弗吉尼亚伍尔夫?》和《山羊或谁是西尔维娅?》中的元戏剧手法为着眼点,希望能为国内爱德华·阿尔比的戏剧研究开拓新的思路,提供更多借鉴;其次,通过梳...
