摘要

本文研究了两部当代戏剧,即林恩-诺泰奇的《汗水》(2015)和多米尼克-莫里索的《骷髅团》(2017),认为这两部戏剧审视了一种假设,即通过对新自由主义主体的批判性审视,可以有效对抗新自由主义意识形态。文章主要借鉴福柯对新自由主义的论述和温迪-布朗对新自由主义社会的思考,认为新自由主义所建构和赋予特权的主体--经济人(homo economicus),其动机仅仅是为了经济利益,在资源受限的竞争环境中寻求自身利益的最大化。本文认为,《汗水》和《骷髅团》指出了新自由主义主体性的主导地位所带来的社会毁灭。这两本书还强调,边缘化人群尤其容易受到新自由主义意识形态原则的影响。因此,他们强调需要通过鼓励利他主义倾向来对抗新自由主义,这就需要放弃人类行为的经济人模式。

Subject, Interest, and Community in Lynn Nottage’s Sweat and Dominique Morisseau’s Skeleton Crew

This paper studies two contemporary plays, Lynn Nottage’s Sweat (2015) and Dominique Morisseau’s Skeleton Crew (2017), and contends that they examine the assumption that the neoliberal ideology can be effectively confronted through a critical examination of the subject of neoliberalism. It draws mainly upon Foucault’s discussion of neoliberalism and Wendy Brown’s thoughts about the neoliberal society and argues that the subject that neoliberalism constructs and privileges, homo economicus, is motivated merely by economic gain and seeks to maximize his/her interests in a competitive environment with restricted resources. Sweat and Skeleton Crew, this paper suggests, point to the social immolation that the dominance of the neoliberal subjectivity brings about. They both also highlight the point that marginalized population is especially vulnerable to the principles of the neoliberal ideology. They, therefore, emphasize the need to confront neoliberalism through encouraging altruistic tendencies which requires abandoning the homo economicus model of human behavior.
