Abstract

Once theatre aims at children, who are the citizens and decision makers of the future, it can influence the course of society through the values and worldviews that it promotes. The exceptional capacity of this medium in engaging the audience, along with children’s receptiveness, necessitates a meticulous study of the ideologies embedded in plays. This study unravels how these ideological factors can hamper the theatre’s main purpose which is to encourage the audience to form individual fantasies. Accordingly, Žižek’s theories are drawn upon for their hints on ideology, fantasy, reality, and subjectivity. Taking his psychoanalytic views into account, four Persian plays are examined to determine what ideologies underlie these plays’ motifs and instructions, as well as what may justify their presence in plays. On close inspection, it becomes evident that these plays are loaded with conscious manipulative ideologies which are intended to train homogeneous social members rather than present objective glimpses of real life.
《波斯儿童戏剧选集》的精神分析解读
一旦戏剧以儿童为目标,他们就是未来的公民和决策者,它就可以通过它所提倡的价值观和世界观影响社会的进程。这种媒介在吸引观众方面的特殊能力,以及儿童的接受能力,需要对戏剧中嵌入的意识形态进行细致的研究。本研究揭示了这些意识形态因素如何阻碍戏剧的主要目的,即鼓励观众形成个人幻想。因此,Žižek的理论因其对意识形态、幻想、现实和主观性的暗示而被借鉴。考虑到他的精神分析观点,我们研究了四部波斯戏剧,以确定这些戏剧的主题和指示背后的意识形态,以及什么可能证明它们在戏剧中的存在。仔细观察就会发现,这些戏剧显然充满了有意识的操纵意识形态,目的是培养同质的社会成员,而不是呈现对现实生活的客观一瞥。
