This paper aims at studying the process of re-appropriation in the theatrical space of Lynn Nottage’s Ruined, Intimate Apparel, and Sweat with their sociological meaning. By these plays, Nottage suggests unique space such as bars and Boudoir, which embraces the possibilities to speculate it as the place of “sociological representation” and to approach it in the perspective of social spectrum. The space of three plays suggested in this paper shows not only its physical attributes as a place of residence and experience of everyday lives but also as a site of creative and multi-dimensional insight. Nottage foregrounds the space in Ruined, Intimate Apparel, and Sweat to the center of the stage, where audience can detect sociological meaning of the space from the active communications in the community. The space represents its function as a site of transformation with blurred boundary, deviation or the place of refuge, and the place of recovery and reconciliation. This space also provides the rediscovery or reconstitution of the characters’ identities and re-appropriation of perception which activates creativity and production in the community. The function of the space in three plays embodies the deconstruction of the patriarchal authorities set in the liminality of the wall, facade or fence and the practices of the power of abjection which is independent upon the social and political ideology. The characteristics of private/public space in three plays represent the deconstruction of the static boundaries of nationality, race, gender, and class and also pursue the humanity and the harmony in the world, which can be associated with the cosmopolitanism. By foregrounding the specific space on the stage, Nottage represents the recovery of subjectivity and identity of otherness and pursue reconciliation and humanity.
History Matters: Digging a hole in Suzan-Lori Parks’ Venus
전연희 대한영어영문학회 2007 영어영문학연구 Vol.33 No.1
Chun, Yon-hee. “History Matters: Digging a Hole in Suzan-Lori Parks’ Venus.” Studies on English Language & Literature. 33.1(2007): 43-64. The winner of Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Suzan-Lori Parks’ Venus, one of the controversial plays in terms of theme and dramatic technique. Parks has tenaciously clung to the project of unearthing a hidden history concerning Blacks. In Venus, Parks calls, resurrects African woman Saartijie Baartman who has been on the public display in London and Paris under the name of ‘The Venus Hottentot’ and rewrites her distorted history. Parks bestows upon Baartman a new version of life and challenges the reader with the proposition that the sense of subaltern subjectivity is recoverable. The aim of Parks’ specific dramatic invention is to help the audience to tell the disparity between white goddess ‘The Venus’ and the Black slave ‘The Venus Hottentot’. Among her multiple dramatic elements, a strategy of alienation that foregrounds the gaze of the colonizer/audience is the most formidable contrivance. This unconventional narration interrupts the romantic relationship and awakens power politics. Parks’ reversal of white male ideology is pursued in the play within the play. Through the strategic historicism, Parks encourages audiences to consider the repression of black female body and multifaceted expression of seduction and victimization. She widens her concern on Black history to the universal level, portraying the human condition transcending spatial and time limits.
