Postmodern Landscape: Postmodernist Discourse in Mark Ravenhill’s Shopping and Fucking / Postmodern Manzara: Mark Ravenhill’in Shopping and Fucking Adlı Oyununda Postmodernist Söylem
Öz
Abstract: Among contemporary dramatists of the 1990s, Mark Ravenhill has a unique
place. As an enthusiastic supporter of the society and an iconoclast of modern drama he
is the most original and enigmatic writer of the post-Thatcher generation. Ravenhill’s
dramatic voice is indisputably the strongest of the postmodern era. He creates a postmodern
landscape where the influence of consumerism can be felt everywhere in society. In his
most masterly work Shopping and Fucking he created a dark vision of postmodern
atmosphere. This article aims at revealing a critical appraisal of postmodernist discourse
reflected in Ravenhill’s Shopping and Fucking.
Keywords: Contemporary British theatre, Mark Ravenhill, postmodern theatre,
Shopping and Fucking.
Öz: 1990 sonrası çağdaş İngiliz oyun yazarları arasında Mark Ravenhill’in özel bir
yeri vardır. Toplumun coşkulu bir destekçisi ve çağdaş tiyatronun bir tür putkıranı olan
yazar, Thatcher sonrası tiyatronun en gizemli kalemidir. Hiç kuşkusuz onun dramatik
söylemi postmodern dönemin en keskin olanıdır. Mark Ravenhill oyunlarında, tüketim
olgusunun toplumun her kesimini etkilediği postmodern bir manzara oluşturur. Ustalık
dolu oyunu Shopping and Fucking’de de karamsar bir postmodern atmosfer yaratmıştır.
Bu makalenin amacı, Ravenhill’in Shopping and Fucking oyunundaki postmodernist
söylemi açığa çıkarmaktır.
