초록

This paper aims at studying the process of re-appropriation in the theatrical space of Lynn Nottage’s Ruined, Intimate Apparel, and Sweat with their sociological meaning. By these plays, Nottage suggests unique space such as bars and Boudoir, which embraces the possibilities to speculate it as the place of “sociological representation” and to approach it in the perspective of social spectrum. The space of three plays suggested in this paper shows not only its physical attributes as a place of residence and experience of everyday lives but also as a site of creative and multi-dimensional insight.
Nottage foregrounds the space in Ruined, Intimate Apparel, and Sweat to the center of the stage, where audience can detect sociological meaning of the space from the active communications in the community. The space represents its function as a site of transformation with blurred boundary, deviation or the place of refuge, and the place of recovery and reconciliation. This space also provides the rediscovery or reconstitution of the characters’ identities and re-appropriation of perception which activates creativity and production in the community. The function of the space in three plays embodies the deconstruction of the patriarchal authorities set in the liminality of the wall, facade or fence and the practices of the power of abjection which is independent upon the social and political ideology. The characteristics of private/public space in three plays represent the deconstruction of the static boundaries of nationality, race, gender, and class and also pursue the humanity and the harmony in the world, which can be associated with the cosmopolitanism. By foregrounding the specific space on the stage, Nottage represents the recovery of subjectivity and identity of otherness and pursue reconciliation and humanity.
