碩士論文提要 本文擬由後現代文學觀點來探討尚.惹內的劇作女僕,陽
臺,黑人與屏風. 第一章討論的是惹內運用劇中劇的形式,來凸顯他劇
作是經由人為精心策劃的這個事實.他更認為所謂的真實,也和虛幻一樣,
是人建構出來的東西.第二章則是關於作者如何以後現代諧擬的手法,來打
破他劇作的虛構性,刻意使觀眾察覺幕後技巧的運作方式.第三章要談論的
是他劇作所展現出的不定性及流動性.第四章旨在指出他劇中人物主體性
的定位,是建立於他們角色的不同,和他們相互間的差異性.本章並探討作
者如何以二元對立的形式,解構傳統中一尊一卑的對立模式. 惹內以劇
場的形式解構了傳統寫實劇場.他利用自我顛覆的技巧,不斷強調虛幻比現
實更真實,造就出一動盪不定且虛無的戲劇世界.

Abstract This thesis aims
at exploiting the postmodernity of Jean Genet's plays:The Maids,
The Balcony, The Blacks and The Screens. The first chapter
discusses how Genet makes use of the form of a playwithin a play
to foreground the theatricality of his plays. With this
structure,he expresses his view on reality: it is contstructed
in the same way as illusion.He thinks that nothing can be real.
The second chapter talks about the way postmodern parody
functions in his works:to reinforce the artificiality of the
plays and to make the audience aware of the theatrical devices.
The third chapter probes the indeterminacy and fluidity of his
plays. The fourth chapterdiscloses the playwright's notion that
one's identity is defined in terms ofone's role and one's
difference from the others. It also elaborates how
hedeconstructs the traditional binary opposition(in which there
is always asenior and a junior). Genet subverts the
conventional realistic theater by using its form.As he keeps
destabilizing his plays and emphasizing that appearance is
morereal than reality, he creates a theatrical world of
uncertainty and emptiness.
