摘要
《动物园的故事》是爱德华·阿尔比的首部独幕剧,剧中的"动物园"是美国社会的一个全景式写照。该剧通过塑造两个阶级身份和性属身份对立的男性气质形象,将主流文化所称颂的理想男性形象置于"他者"的审视与质询之中,揭露了中产阶级的自鸣得意和因循守旧,同时映射出纽约大都市的牢笼形象以及消费社会对人的囚禁和异化,亦揭示了支配性男性气质在后工业社会消费文化的规范、侵蚀下所处的困境和危机,表达了阿尔比对二战后美国社会的性别政治和个体身份的关注和思考。
The Zoo Story is Edward Albee's first important one-act play,in which 'the zoo'is a panoramic image of American society. It shapes two masculine images of distinct classes and sexualities,placing the ideal man exalted by the main-stream culture within the gaze and interpellation of 'the other'. It reveals the complacency and conformity of the middle-class and meanwhile reflects the cage image of the New York City and the consumption society's imprisonment of men. It also indicates that the post-industrial consumption culture has imposed norms and erosions on American middle-class masculinity,embodying the predicament and crisis of hegemonic masculinity. This implies Albee's concern about and reflection on the Post-WWII American gender politics and individual identities.
