摘要

《帕杜卡之外的抽象:在家的战争》(2016)是一部由前空军飞行员詹姆斯·艾伦·莫阿德二世独自创作和表演的戏剧,探讨了士兵从战场回家后,战争对美国退伍军人及其家人的持久影响。该剧超越了创伤老兵的个人形象,解决了两个相互交织的问题:战争的集体负担和跨代负担,两者都是身体创伤和/或道德伤害。在帕杜卡之外,通过强调在个人和社会层面理解战争代价的重要性,有助于将舞台宣传为一个思考战争遗产、质疑和挑战战争本身的充满活力的地方。该剧展示了在外国战争的场景被带回了祖国和家庭,他们同样因祖国战争的持续而士气低落。士兵们以鬼魂的身份回归,一代又一代地困扰着他们的家人和朋友。因此,战争仍然是美国民族核心的一个悬而未决的创伤。与此同时,该剧揭示了弱势群体的严酷现实,以及参军似乎常常为摆脱贫困和资源匮乏的世界提供了一条出路。

Family Matters: Trauma and the Legacy of War in James Allen Moad II’s Outside Paducah: The Wars at Home
Abstract Outside Paducah: The Wars at Home (2016), a play written and performed solo by James Allen Moad II, a former Air Force pilot, explores the enduring effects of war on American veterans and their families after soldiers return home from the battleground. The play moves beyond the individual representation of a traumatized veteran by addressing two intertwined issues: the collective and transgenerational burden of war, both in the form of physical wounds and/or moral injuries. Outside Paducah contributes to promoting the stage as a dynamic place to think about the war legacy and to question and challenge war itself by stressing the importance of understanding the cost of war on both personal and societal levels. The play shows that the scenes of war fought in foreign lands are brought back to the home territories and families, who become equally demoralised by the perpetuation of war in their homelands. The soldiers return as ghosts of their previous selves and haunt their families and friends from one generation to the next. Therefore, war remains an open wound at the core of the American nation. At the same time, the play sheds some light on the harsh realities of the underprivileged and how joining the military often seems to provide a way out of the world of poverty and lack of resources.
