《威尼斯商人》中的鲍西亚与巴萨尼奥权力关系解读（英文）

An Interpretation of Power Relationship between Portia and Bassanio in Merchant of Venice by Foucault's Theoretical Framework

该文基于福柯的微观权力理论并通过分析鲍西亚和巴萨尼奥之间的经济和情感上的权力关系阐释了权力关系在《威尼斯商人》中如何相互作用。文章指出除了压抑性的权力关系——抑制鲍西亚的男性话语,鲍西亚和巴萨尼奥之间也存在着福柯提出的生产或建设性的关系,而正是这种积极向上的生产关系为这部喜剧催生了一个皆大欢喜的结局。

By analyzing the economic and emotional power relations between Portia and Bassanio based on Foucault's micro power theories,the thesis demonstrates how power relationships interact in Merchant of Venice. The paper goes down to discuss in details that besides the repressive power relations—suppression of Portia by male discourse,a productive or constructive power relationship proposed by Foucault also exists between Portia and Bassanio,which is positive to both of them. It is this productive relationship that contributes to a happy ending for this comedy.
