A Discussion of the Avant-gardeness in Maria Irene Fornes' What of the Night?

玛丽亚·艾琳·弗尼斯是美国当代一位颇有代表性的女性先锋戏剧家。她在《夜里如何?》一剧中,对男、女同性恋话题进行了探讨,并提出了超越传统女权主义有关"性"与"性属"等问题的认识。她在创作中全方位地采用了颇具先锋性的"组装"式框架,把现实主义、未来主义、魔幻现实主义等手法引申到这个框架中。本文就《夜里如何?》一剧中有关超越"性"与"性属"的先锋主题、"组装"的先锋戏剧框架以及解构的话语框架三个方面进行探讨,并从对这些问题的探讨中析出弗尼斯戏剧的先锋性。

Maria Irene Fornes is a representative American avant-garde female playwright. In her play What of the Night？, she introduces new ideas about sex, gender and homosexuality which transcend preexisting, traditional feminist beliefs. In her play, Fornes employs an avant-garde theatrical frame of assembling and integrates the ideas and theatrical devices of realism, futurism and magic-realism into the frame. This paper analyzes the avant-gardeness in Fornes＇ play by discussing three issues： Fornes＇ thematic concerns of sex and gender, the theatrical frame of assembling, and the deconstructing theatrical discourse.
