空间理论视域下的《栅栏》解读

Interpretation of Fences from the Perspective of Space Theory

作为奥古斯特·威尔逊“匹茨堡系列剧”的核心之作,《栅栏》展现了以迈克森一家为代表的非裔美国人的生存空间。以爱德华·索亚的空间理论为依据,对威尔逊在《栅栏》中构建的物质性第一空间、精神性第二空间以及具有包容性的第三空间进行了解,并借此探究种族歧视带给非裔美国人的压迫和创伤,以及非裔美国人文化身份认同的复杂性。

As one of the most important works of August Wilson's The Pittsburgh Cycle,Fences shows the living space of the African Americans represented by the Maxsons.Based on Edward Soja's theory of space,it can be found that Wilson has shown the complexity of African Americans'cultural identity and the trauma and oppression that racism has brought to African Americans through the construction of the first space of materiality,the second space of spirituality and the third space of inclusiveness.
