Abstract

ABSTRACT While Victorian classical burlesque has been traditionally dismissed as low culture for both, its insouciant treatment of classical mythology and its inability to raise serious social issues, this article focuses on Robert Brough’s Medea to demonstrate that his burlesque and its performance constitutes a fascinating example of a product of popular culture that discusses Victorian socio-political matters. Based on Brough’s political mindset, this paper reads his classical burlesque using a heterotopic perspective to analyse its potential to discuss Victorian paradigms of class, gender and racial divisions, even if it did it using music, puns, anachronisms and vulgar jokes.
神话与大众文化:作为异位文化空间的维多利亚式滑稽美狄亚
虽然维多利亚时代的古典滑稽剧在传统上被认为是低俗文化,因为它对古典神话的漫不经心处理以及它无法提出严肃的社会问题,但本文主要关注罗伯特·布罗的《美狄亚》,以证明他的滑稽剧及其表演构成了讨论维多利亚时代社会政治问题的流行文化产品的一个迷人的例子。本文基于布劳的政治思维,从异位视角解读他的经典滑稽剧,分析其讨论维多利亚时代阶级、性别和种族划分范式的潜力,即使它使用音乐、双关语、时代错误和粗俗的笑话。
