【摘要】：山姆·谢泼德(1943—)是20世纪美国戏剧界最重要的剧作家之一。他创作了超过45部戏剧并且获得了13次奥比奖。在1979年他凭借《被埋葬的孩子》获得普利策戏剧奖。谢泼德对探索美国家庭表现出极大的兴趣并创作了许多关于功能失调家庭的戏剧。他将自身的生活经历融入到他的作品中。《被埋葬的孩子》被认为是一部具有很强自传色彩的作品,这部剧是他的家庭剧三部曲之一。此剧描写了一个美国核心家庭的破碎,剧中的家庭成员陷入了由可怕的乱伦和随后发生的杀婴造成的困境。虽然很多研究者对此剧做了大量的研究,但是鲜有从创伤理论角度对此剧的研究。因此,本文试图探究剧中人物的创伤以及谢泼德勇敢面对创伤过去的过程。通过文献细读的方法,本文首先探究了剧中家庭成员的一系列创伤症状表现。然后从四个方面分析了造成这些创伤症状的原因。最后又从谢泼德的人生经历出发分析了他的创伤经历以及他勇敢面对创伤过去的过程。此剧的创作过程其实是谢泼德勇敢面对人生中创伤的过程。通过剧中创伤人物的描写,谢泼德成功处理了他的创伤过去并理解了创伤过去的意义。从创伤理论视角对此剧的解读有利于加深对谢泼德作品的理解。
[Abstract]:Sam Shepherd (1943-) is one of the most important American dramatists in the 20 th century. He wrote more than 45 plays and won 13 Obi-awards. In 1979 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for buried Children. Shepherd showed great interest in exploring American families and wrote many plays about dysfunctional families. He incorporates his own life experience into his work. "buried Children" is considered a highly autobiographical work, which is one of his family drama trilogy. The show depicts the breakup of an American nuclear family whose members are trapped by the horrendous incest and subsequent infanticide. Although many researchers have done a lot of research on the play, there is little research on it from the perspective of trauma theory. Therefore, this paper attempts to explore the trauma of the characters and Shepherd's brave face to the past process of trauma. By reading the literature carefully, this paper first explores a series of traumatic symptoms of family members in the play. Then the causes of these traumatic symptoms were analyzed from four aspects. Finally, it analyzes Shepherd's traumatic experience and his brave face to the past. The creation process of this play is actually Shepherd's brave face to life's trauma process. By depicting the traumatic characters in the play, Shepherd managed to deal with his traumatic past and to understand the meaning of it. The interpretation of the play from the perspective of trauma theory helps to deepen the understanding of Shepherd's works.
