Abstract

Abstract:What if Jocasta was not simply effaced at the end of the Oedipus play but developed as an icon of the persistent intersection of violence and motherhood in war time? What would that do to the taboo of Jocasta's incest and the horror of how that taboo lives on in her children? This article argues that through the concepts of replay and resonance, two Oedipal dramas (Pierre Corneille's 1659 Œdipe and Wajdi Mouawad's 2003 Incendies), separated by some three-hundred years, ask the audience to listen again to past traumas, to build on them and reframe them within new socio-political contexts.

回放与共鸣：聆听Jocasta在Œdipe（1659年，Cornelle）和Incendies（2003年，Mouawad）

摘要：如果乔卡斯塔在俄狄浦斯戏剧的结尾没有被简单地抹去，而是发展成为战争时期暴力和母性持续交叉的象征，会怎么样？这会对乔卡斯塔乱伦的禁忌以及这种禁忌在她的孩子身上如何延续的恐惧产生什么影响？本文认为，通过重播和共鸣的概念，两部相隔约三百年的俄狄浦斯戏剧（Pierre Cornelle的1659Œdipe和Wajdi Mouawad的2003年《香》）要求观众再次倾听过去的创伤，在这些创伤的基础上再接再厉，并在新的社会政治背景下重新构建它们。
