Abstract

Abstract As a contribution to the discussion of Shakespeare’s “appropriability” (Stanley Cavell), this paper examines some aspects of the cultural position of Hamlet on the Jacobean entertainment market, as they are indicated in Ben Jonson’s comedy Bartholomew Fair (1614). The metatheatrical features of Bartholomew Fair may be said to measure the play’s resistance against appropriating the unique and problematic aspects of Hamlet, such as the Ghost or The Mousetrap. These are deconstructed in Jonson’s comedy, which anticipates the Enlightenment views of the social functioning of theatre as a “moral institution”.
近代早期文化混杂:巴塞洛缪集市作为哈姆雷特的异托邦
本·琼生的喜剧《巴塞洛缪集市》(1614)从几个方面考察了哈姆雷特在詹姆士时代娱乐市场上的文化地位,作为对斯坦利·卡维尔关于莎士比亚“适当性”的讨论的贡献。《巴塞洛缪集市》的元戏剧特征可以说是衡量该剧对《哈姆雷特》独特和有问题的方面(如《幽灵》或《捕鼠器》)的抵制。在约翰逊的喜剧中,这些都被解构了,它预测了启蒙运动关于戏剧作为“道德机构”的社会功能的观点。
