N2 - 戴维•威廉森是当代澳大利亚最著名的剧作家, 拥有最多的观众。他创作的《俱乐部》是一部影响深远的讽刺性戏剧, 该剧讲述了发生在20世纪70年代墨尔本一个足球俱乐部中的故事。剧中每个人为了自身的利益不择手段, 管理者与球员之间勾心斗角、相互构陷。该剧反映了人自私自利、金钱至上的观念, 以及人与人之间冷漠、相互利用的关系, 揭露了当代澳大利亚社会中的人性异化现象。本文运用弗洛姆的人性异化理论论述了《俱乐部》中的人性异化现象。该剧中人物的异化表现在人自身的异化和人与人之间关系的异化这两个方面, 人自身的异化主要表现在权欲的奴隶、情欲的魔鬼和物欲的过分依赖三个方面;人与人之间的异化则表现在男女关系的异化和男性同事之间关系的异化。此外, 笔者从外在和内在分析人性异化产生的内外因。外因指社会原因, 包括金钱至上的观念和男权至上的观念;而内在原因指的是弗洛姆提出的存在矛盾。最后, 人性的回归在部分人物上也有所体现, 让读者看到了光明与希望。 N2 - David Williamson is the most famous contemporary Australian playwright and has the largest audience. His play >The Club< is a far-reaching satirical play, which tells a story of a football club in Melbourne in the 1970s. Everyone in the play tries all means to gain profits. There are full of infightings and conspiracies between the administrators and players. The play reflects people’s selfishness and people’s concept of money worship, and the indifference and mutually beneficial relationships between people, revealing the alienation of human nature in contemporary Australian society. This thesis discusses the alienation of human nature in >The Club< by using Erich Fromm’s alienation theory of human nature. In the play, the alienation of characters is reflected in the alienation of human himself and the alienation between man and the others. The alienation of human itself is mainly manifested in the slaves of power, the devil of lust, and the overdependence on material things. While the alienation between man and man is manifested in the alienation of male and female relations and the alienation of male colleagues. In addition, the causes of the alienation of human nature are analyzed from the external and internal perspectives. External causes refer to social causes, including the concept of materialism and the concept of male chauvinism, while internal cause refer to existential contradiction put forward by Fromm. Finally, the regression of human nature is reflected in some characters, so that readers can see the light and hope. [Author’s translation] Y1 - 2019 ER -
