盖尔·奥斯丁认为,女性主义批评研究戏剧有诸多优势。可用于戏剧分析的女性主义理论来自四个研究领域:文学批评,人类学,心理学,以及电影理论。她对女性主义人类学中盖尔·鲁宾、卡尔·马克思、列维-斯特劳斯和西蒙·弗洛伊德的理论进行了论述,并运用盖尔·鲁宾的“妇女交易”理论、塞基威克的“男性同性交际欲望”理论以及吉纳尔的“色情三角”理论分析了阿瑟·米勒的《推销员之死》,证明女性主义人类学运用于戏剧领域的有效性。 Gail Austin believes that feminist criticism of drama has many advantages. Feminist theories that can be used for theater analysis come from four research areas: literary criticism, anthropology, psychology, and film theory. She discusses the theories of Gail Rubin, Karl Marx, Levi-Strauss, and Simon Freud in feminist anthropology and uses Gail Rubin’s “Women’s Trades ”Theory, Sekirk’s“ desire for homosexuality ”and Guinard’s“ pornographic triangle ”theory to analyze Arthur Miller’s“ death of a salesman ”to prove the use of feminist anthropology Effectiveness in the field of theater.
