当代美国黑人女性戏剧家的历史书写与身份诉求

The Historical Writing and Identity Pursuit in Adrienne Kennedy's Plays

历史书写是美国当代黑人女性戏剧家阿德里安娜·肯尼迪从事戏剧创作的动力。尽管非线性的叙述、梦幻的场景和呓语般的对白为她的戏剧蒙上了一层强烈的超现实色彩,但是深层次的分析证明,超现实主义手法的运用其实是剧作家为历史书写而采用的非激进策略。肯尼迪的艺术实践表明了她对黑人身份诉求所持的态度,即黑人必须要在恢复历史意识的基础上,进行理性的、有针对性的反抗,最终在黑白文化和谐共存的环境中实现自我身份的认同。

Historical writing stimulates Adrienne Kennedy, a contemporary African American woman dramatist, to devote herself to theatrical creations. Although non-linear narration, setting with illusions and dreamy dialogues result in her dramas with a strong sense of surrealism, an in-depth analysis asserts that the employment of surrealistic ways is a non-militant strategy taken by this woman playwright. Kennedy＇s artistic practice illustrates her attitude towards black identity, that is, African Americans., based on the recovery of their historical consciousness, challenge what they are faced up with in a reasonable and targeted way. Finally, the black community can realize their identity pursuit in an environment in which white culture and black culture co-exists harmoniously.
