摘要

摘要：本文通过对 2023 年在马克-塔佩尔论坛（Mark Taper Forum）举行的安娜-迪维尔-史密斯（Anna Deavere Smith）的《暮光之城》（Twilight：1992》的创作过程，论证了在戏剧实践和学术研究中以权力理论为中心的观点。美国主流戏剧模式的局限性体现在结构性种族主义的运作以及盖特丽-斯皮瓦克（Gayatri Spivak）所说的 "认可的无知区域"--结构性过度决定的盲点--关于种族、历史、表演理论以及 "创作"/劳动过程中的分工。对前沿 "理论 "的了解，对我们自身创造世界的假设的持续批判，以及对 "理论 "与 "实践 "相结合的广阔愿景，可以打破身心二元论，引导我们重新想象传统的美国戏剧规程，为渐进式变革开辟可能性。

Power and Theory: Structural Racism and Zones of Sanctioned Ignorance

Abstract:

Through a case study of the creative process on the thirtieth anniversary revival of Anna Deavere Smith’s Twilight: Los Angeles 1992 at the Mark Taper Forum in 2023, this essay argues for centering theories of power in theatre practice as well as scholarship. The limits of mainstream US theatre models manifested in the workings of structural racism and what Gayatri Spivak calls “zones of sanctioned ignorance”—structurally overdetermined blind spots—about race, history, acting theory, and the division of labor in the “creative”/ labor process. Knowledge of cutting-edge “theory,” the continuing critique of our own worldmaking assumptions, and expansive visions of “theory” integrated with “practice” could disrupt mind/body dualism and lead us to reimagine conventional US theatre protocols, opening possibilities for progressive change.
