苏珊-洛莉.帕克斯戏剧的后现代历史书写研究 本书特色
在苏珊-洛莉·帕克斯的戏剧作品中,历史书写成为其重要的创作主题。帕克斯的历史书写不是重写历史,而是通过重访历史事件修正历史,再现被白人历史编纂者肆意歪曲或抹除的黑人历史。在历史修正过程中,帕克斯拒绝接受整体性的、线性的、封闭的历史观,主张异质性的、开放的、多元化的历史书写,因此,其戏剧创作带有明显的后现代主义特征和新历史主义印记。帕克斯的戏剧既注重历史事实,又充满文学想象,不断穿梭于历史和想象、过去和现在之间,巧妙地将个人历史、家族历史、族群历史以及国家历史融为一体,建构起了一个动态的、交互的、多维的历史想象空间。同时,帕克斯还将观众习以为常、普遍接受的文化观念渗透到历史事件的再现中,引导观众感受所谓历史真相背后各种差异和断裂,使观众从中受到启发,从而为观众提供了一个全新的审视历史和社会的角度。
