“天窗”中的英国经济--经济学视阈下的戴维·黑尔话剧《天窗》

The "Skylight" of the British Economy--David Hare’s Play Skylight from the Perspective of Economics

英国当代编剧戴维·黑尔的剧作《天窗》写于1995年,表面上展现的是家庭关系、情感纠葛和伦理情节,实际上是对社会问题的揭露。时值二十世纪九十年代,"实业致富"思潮在英国伦敦盛行,向"左"走的凯拉和向"右"走的汤姆看似是在情感的漩涡中挣扎,实则是在经济环境、社会思潮与不同阶层结构的潮流推动中分道扬镳,其中最为显著的就是经济因素:不论是"难民潮"、"英国病",还是欧洲汇率机制,都在《天窗》中暗暗扮演着不发声的关键"角色"。

British contemporary screenwriter David Hare’ s play Skylight was written in 1995. Under the cloak of family, emotion and ethics, it is actually a revelation of social problems. Duration in the 1990 s, the ideological trend of " getting rich through industry" prevailed in London. Kyra going "left" and Tom going "right" appeared to be struggling in the swirl of emotions. In fact, it was the economical environment, social ideological trend and different class structures that promoted them to go separate ways, the most significant factors of which is economy: whether "refugees flood", "British disease", or the European Exchange Rate Mechanism were secretly playing key "characters" without lines in Skylight.
