摘要
二十世纪五十年代,受冷战意识形态的影响,原本对同性恋就不友好的公共话语也变本加厉地对同性恋大加贬损。政治上的挫败使同性恋剧作家纷纷起来对抗主流话语。然而,威廉斯对此却表现漠然,由此,同性恋评论家们批评他不能以正面、积极的手法描写同性恋。对威廉斯这一时期剧作的拉康式解读却透视出他作为一个欲望主体对抗主流话语、争取读者、观众认同同性恋的无意识欲望。
During 1950s,the public discourse that had been unfavorable to homosexuality degraded the homosexual more severely under the influence of the Cold War ideology.Confronted with such strictures,American gay playwrights rose to challenge and deconstruct the mainstream discourse.Yet,Tennessee Williams was excoriated by some gay critics for his turning away from homosexuality or being unable to portray gay characters in an acceptably positive light.A Lacanian Reading of Williams' Middle Plays presents the unconscious desire of Williams as an obstinate desiring subject braving the mainstream discourse and desiring for the recognition of homosexuality by his readers/audience.
