摘要
田纳西·威廉姆斯的诸多剧作都涉及同性恋这一主题,但其处理方式却非常曲折迂回。本文首先从“凝视”的角度阐明其“曲折”何在,然后就批评者们对威廉姆斯戏剧带有同性恋恐惧意识的易装解读以及后来的莰普解读进行再批评,指出前者的低劣和后者的进步。本文最后指出,威廉姆斯力图通过对同性恋曲折隐晦的描写,质疑、挑战并推翻那些一直以来遭受男性危机、深受社会歧视、生活在社会边缘的同性恋者已盖棺定论的形象。
The theme of homosexuality exists in many of Tennessee Williams＇ plays, though he deals with it in a very oblique way. This can be best exemplified through the perspective of ＂gaze＂. Critics first applied the reductive and homophobic transvestite reading to Williams＇ plays, and then to the sophisticated and liberated camp reading. Through his oblique depiction of homosexuality, Williams attempts to challenge and subvert the stereotyped images of gays who are in the crisis of masculinity and who are living on the margin of society.
