摘要
17世纪初,英国资本主义兴起使得国民物质崇拜盛行,国民从道德经济或重商主义视角出发讨论商品与财富问题。米德尔顿与德克戏剧《咆哮女》呈现了一个处于市场经济转型之中的商品化社会图景。剧中无论贵族还是平民都对外来奢侈品异样热衷,该物质主义虽然刺激了生产,但却威胁到社会等级秩序、贸易平衡与国家财政稳定。剧中人物对物质财富的痴迷进一步引发了女性的商品化,可女主角摩尔反抗女性商品化的努力却以失败告终。英国社会商品化的根源在于经济社会转型所带来的贫困危机,故剧中贫困的流浪者们也自然难逃被商品化之命运,这影射出早期现代英国社会的商品化焦虑意识。
At the beginning of the 17th century,the rise of capitalism in England made the national materialism prevalent.The nation discusses commodities and wealth from the perspective of moral economy or mercantilism.Middleton and Dekker’s play The Roaring Girl presents a picture of a commoditized society in the transition of a market economy.The characters’unusual devotion to imported luxury goods reflects the unprecedented prevalence of materialism in society at the time.Meanwhile,the characters’obsession with material possessions leads to the commodification of women.But Moll’s struggle against the commodification of women ends in failure.The commercialization of English society is rooted in the poverty crisis brought about by the economic and social transformation.Therefore,the impoverished homeless in the drama naturally cannot escape the fate of commercialization,which reflects the anxious consciousness of commercialization in the society of early modern England.
