Clybourne Park 서브 텍스트 읽기: 새로운 적 찾기 게임

초록

Bruce Norris’s Clybourne Park (2010) illustrates that political correctness enshrines racism concluding that America has changed but not evolved. This research aims to analyze the subtexts behind this obvious theme and envision the future of American racial drama. There are four issues in the subtexts of the play. First, Norris satirizes that American middle class has been shockingly unaware of the world, failing to understand the basic information to follow about foreign countries. Second, the sharing of a white identity has not finally fulfilled. Even though some suggest that a monolithic European American or white American entity has emerged, Italian, Polish, Jewish, Irish, or other non Anglo-Saxon European identities still matter. Thirdly, American whites still reproduces a racial hierarchy with the blacks, Asians, and the Hispanics at the bottom, and the whites at the top. Finally, America is producing a religious hierarchy with Muslim and Hindu at the bottom as some white Christian leaders have supported the racial hierarchy.
