肖因卡是来自尼日利亚并在世界享有盛名的戏剧家,小说家,诗人。1986年获得诺贝尔文学奖至今,他的作品引起了世界各地学者的研究和关注。肖因卡的作品几乎都在关心着尼日利亚社会怎样从殖民地转变成为一个政治独立,意识觉醒的国家。在对不同文化和不同年代人的交流与碰撞中折射出一个国家,一个民族该怎样面对自身的困境,他经常衡量在多变的现代潮流中传统文化的局限性。本文以他的戏剧作品《强种》为例,运用福柯的权利身体理论,针对作品中出现的身体仪式来重新看待传统文化。 Shampoin is a dramatist, novelist and poet from Nigeria and renowned in the world. Since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986, his work has attracted the attention of scholars from all over the world. Most of his works are concerned with how Nigerian society transformed from a colony to a politically independent and conscious nation. In the exchange and collision between different cultures and people of different ages, it reflects one country and one nation how to face its predicament. He often measures the limitations of traditional culture in the changing modern trend. Taking his dramatic work “Strong Kinds” as an example, this paper uses Foucault ’s right body theory to review the traditional culture in response to the body rituals appearing in the works.
