Abstract

Aim. The proposed study examines the subversive polemics of Fo’s theatre which serves as a catalyst for social, political and cultural change. It aims to foreground the revolutionary politics of Fo who uses theatre to combat the oppressive system bringing to fore the working-class struggle for a classless society. The present study will be done with the help of the analysis of Fo’s select plays. These plays will be interpreted using the Gramscian framework of cultural consensus, an enabling provision of authority and control and the role of intellectuals in countering the same. Concept. The paper underlines the significance of art in facilitating a deeper understanding of the complex social realities of our world. The paper engages with the question of power and control, oppression and marginalisation as well as art and education as contextualised in Dario Fo’s theatre. Results. Fo’s use of drama to humanize the history of Italian working classes tells us about the expedience of art to enage with matters most urgent. This tells us that art and culture can be an important link in the mobilization authoritarism. Conclusion. A comprehensive discussion on power politics is presented in the paper with the aim of keeping people informed of the subtle working of these underlying structures which govern power relations in society. Originality. The originality of the study is contingent on investigating into how power is acquired, legitimised, practised, and maintained, how it can be resisted and what role art and artists play in the construction, dissemination and opposition of it.
达里奥·佛:不善言辞文化的善言代表
的目标。拟议的研究考察了作为社会,政治和文化变革催化剂的Fo戏剧的颠覆性辩论。它的目的是突出佛的革命政治,他用戏剧来对抗压迫制度,把工人阶级的斗争带到一个无阶级的社会。本研究将借助对傅氏精选剧作的分析来完成。这些戏剧将使用葛兰西的文化共识框架来解释,这是一种权威和控制的授权,以及知识分子在对抗同一概念中的作用。这篇论文强调了艺术在促进对我们这个世界复杂社会现实的更深刻理解方面的重要性。本文探讨了权力和控制、压迫和边缘化以及达里奥·福的戏剧背景下的艺术和教育问题。福用戏剧将意大利工人阶级的历史人性化,告诉我们艺术在处理最紧迫的问题时的权宜之计。这告诉我们,艺术和文化可以成为动员威权主义的重要环节。本文对权力政治进行了全面的讨论,目的是让人们了解这些支配社会权力关系的潜在结构的微妙运作。这项研究的原创性取决于对权力是如何获得、合法化、实践和维持的调查,以及如何抵制权力,以及艺术和艺术家在权力的构建、传播和反对中扮演什么角色。
