文化唯物主义莎评中的种族政治批评

Racial Politics Criticism in Cultural Materialist Shakespeare Criticism

文化唯物主义莎评是20世纪80年代在英国出现的一个莎评流派,其代表人物是多利默和辛菲尔德。该批评把种族纳入到具有政治内涵的广阔背景中以分析莎剧,而种族政治主要是通过对《亨利五世》和《奥赛罗》的批评得到体现的。文化唯物主义莎评者分析种族主要从政治冲突、生物特征的文化政治解释、强者的统治与边缘的他者之间的关系进行批评,特别是种族与战争的联系使种族的政治内涵得到深化。

Cultural materialist Shakespeare criticism came into its own in the 1980s in England, and its representatives are Dollimore and Sinfield. Cultural materialist Shakespeare critics analyze the problems of race in Shakespeare＇s plays against a political background, and racial politics is mainly embodied through the analysis of King Henry the Fifth and Othello. The criticism of race in cultural materialist Shakespeare criticism is mainly carried out from the perspective of political conflict, political interpretation of biological properties, and the relations between the stronger and the marginalized other. Especially, the interpretation of race in terms of war deepens the political meaning of race.
