理性主义霸权的颠覆——福柯哲学下解读《晚安,苔丝狄蒙娜》

The Overthrowing of Rationalism──An Interpretation of Goodnight Desdemona in Foucault’s Theoretical Frame

《晚安,苔丝狄蒙娜》作为一部后现代的荒诞戏剧,在颠覆理性主义的方面与后现代哲学家福柯的思想不谋而合。文章以福柯关于知识、话语和权力的关系,理性的他者———癫狂,以及理性主义下性别特征三方面的理论为基础,探讨剧作者如何以荒诞的手法从内容和形式上颠覆理性主义的霸权。

As an absurd and postmodern play, Goodnight Desdemona echoes with Foucault’s thinking concerning the overthrowing of rationalism. Based on his theories of the relations between knowledge and power, of the folly-the Other of the rational and of the gender features in rationalism, this paper discusses how the playwright overthrows the rationalism in both content and form by using absurd techniques.
