摘要

摘要:爱德华·阿尔比的《谁怕弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫?》(1962)经常被解释为关于真理与幻觉的主题。该剧的一个研究较少但却很重要的方面是它与c.p.斯诺的“两种文化”概念的关系。本文主张将这两种讨论融合在一起，从而形成对阿尔比的认识论理解。该剧不仅拒绝了“两种文化”的相互异化，而且还构成了向综合“第三种文化”迈进的戏剧性举动。谁怕弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫?被解读为观念的认识论戏剧。

Dialectic of Two Cultures: Edward Albee, C. P. Snow, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? as Dramatized Epistemology

Abstract:Since its publication and first performance, Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962) has often been interpreted with regard to the theme of truth and illusion. A less studied but nonetheless important aspect of the play concerns its relation to C. P. Snow’s concept of the “two cultures.” This article argues for the convergence of these two discussions, resulting in an epistemological understanding of Albee. The play not only rejects of the mutual alienation of the “two cultures” but also constitutes a dramatic move toward a synthesizing “third culture.” Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is read as an epistemological drama of ideas.
