摘要
当代英爱剧作家马丁·麦克多纳的《伊尼什莫尔岛的中尉》讲述了爱尔兰国民解放军中尉帕德里克为自己的宠物猫小托马斯之“死”疯狂复仇造成四个人和两只猫死亡的黑色幽默故事。从帕德里克的疯狂切入,本文分析了剧中影射的北爱冲突时期爱尔兰共和军、国民解放军恐怖主义事件,认为暴行是极端民族主义政治意识形态的结果,极端民族主义催生了表现为疯狂的现代精神疾病,暴力则是疯狂的外在表现。麦克多纳的暴力书写体现了文学的事件性,是剧作家对北爱冲突时期社会现实的观察与体认,营造了直面暴力的戏剧效果,使读者和观众在沉浸体验中认识到暴力的荒谬,进而反对和抵制暴力。在当前局部战争频仍、恐怖主义依然存在的时代背景下,麦克多纳的暴力书写具有重要的现实意义。
The Lieutenant of Inishmore written by contemporary Anglo-Irish playwright Martin McDonagh tells a dark humorous story about Padraic,a lieutenant in Irish National Liberation Army,who takes revenge for the“death”of his pet cat Wee Thomas,resulting in the deaths of four men and two cats.Starting from Padraic's madness,this paper analyzes the alluded terrorist incidents of the Irish Republican Army and the National Liberation Army during the Troubles,and holds that the atrocities are the result of the ultra-nationalist political ideology,which gives birth to madness,and the violence is the external expression of madness.McDonagh's violence writing is a literary event.It is the result of the playwright's observation and interpretation of the social reality during the Troubles,and makes the audiences confront violence immersively,making them realize the absurdity of violence,and then oppose and resist violence.In the current era of frequent local wars and the existence of terrorism,McDonagh's violence writing is of great practical significance.
