摘要
1980年代美国共和党里根执政,继承了20世纪五六十年代麦卡锡主义,抵御同性恋、艾滋病、共产主义,形成新保守主义。著名剧作家托尼·库什纳的作品《天使在美国》描述了当时同性恋、艾滋病人的个人遭遇。本文借助病毒学、免疫学知识,解读剧中美国帝国政治肌体遭受众多"病毒"侵袭、免疫系统抵御"病毒"的方式和过程,发现艾滋病等医学现象解构了共和党帝国政治的欲图,也挖掘出作者通过人权、世界公民等帝国话语流露出的新帝国主义思想。
In the 1980s the conservative republican Reagan came into presidency, inheriting 50s’ and 60s’ McCarthyism, and politically acted against homosexuals, AIDS and communism, forming the new conservatism.Tony Kushner’s Angels in America narrates the personal experiences of five gays and AIDS patients.Through virology and immunology this essay interprets the process of the imperial body suffering from numerous "viruses" and the immune system to cope with the "viral" way, and finds out how AIDS deconstructs the Republican imperial policy and reveals the author’s thoughts of new imperialism through concepts such as human rights and citizens of the world.
