摘要

摘要:在《软实力》(2019)中,大卫-亨利-黄(David Henry Hwang)和珍妮-特索里(Jeanine Tesori)通过反转《国王与我》(1951),解构并展示了美国音乐剧的情感力量。软实力》以白脸、元宣传和百老汇风格的配乐讽刺了民主、白人至上和枪支暴力。在火炬歌曲《民主》及其重唱中,艺术家们表达了亚裔美国人对美国民主的矛盾心理:对其提升每个人的承诺充满希望,对其植根于种族主义感到绝望,并认识到音乐剧是意识形态的传递系统。本文通过重复、访谈、评论和剧作来思考软实力、软实力和民主。

Democracy, "Democracy (Reprise)," and the Asian American Ambivalence of Soft Power

Abstract:

In Soft Power (2019), David Henry Hwang and Jeanine Tesori deconstruct and demonstrate the affective power of American musicals by reversing The King and I (1951). Soft Power satirizes democracy, white supremacy, and gun violence with whiteface, meta-propaganda, and a sweeping Broadway-style score. In the torch song “Democracy” and its reprise, the artists articulate Asian American ambivalence about US democracy: hope in its promise to lift everyone, despair in its rootedness in racism, and cognizance of musical theatre as a delivery system for ideology. This article uses repetition, interviews, reviews, and dramaturgy to consider Soft Power, soft power, and democracy.
