后现代德语戏剧《黑暗中的十七幅素描》中的性别操演与权力流变

Gender Performance and Power Dynamics in the Postmodern German Drama Seventeen Sketches inthe Darkness

创作于1897年的德语戏剧《轮舞》是奥地利作家施尼茨勒的里程碑之作,以时代争议与独特结构著称。百年后,德国剧作家罗兰德·希默尔普芬尼希以其为蓝本创作《黑暗中的十七幅素描》。希默尔普芬尼希在《轮舞》的“独幕十场”结构中额外加入七个场景,将新时代的脉络融入性别与权力关系的经典主题之中,从性别议题入手映射21世纪社会现实,与原作展开跨越时空的互文性对话。这部戏剧呼应了朱迪斯·巴特勒的性别理论,可谓挑战传统性别身份和权力结构的出色实践。它深入探析了当代社会中的两性关系变革、多元性别认知、职场性剥削等议题,彰显出戏剧作为社评媒介在文化讨论与时代演变中的独特价值。

The German classic drama Reigen created in 1897 by Austrian playwright Schnitzler,is renowned for its contemporary controversies and unique structure.A century later,German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig adapted it into Seventeen Shetches in the Darkness.Building upon the one-act play Reigen with ten scenes,Schimmelpfennig added seven scenes to integrate contemporary contexts into the classic themes of gender and power dynamics.Starting from gender issues,he maps out the realities of 21st-century society,engaging in an intertextual dialogue across time and space with the original work.This play resonates with Judith Butler's gender theory,challenging traditional gender identities and power structures,and deeply exploring topics such as changing relationships between genders,diverse gender perceptions,and workplace sexual exploitation in the contemporary society.It highlights the unique value of drama as a medium for social commentary in cultural discourse and evolving times.
