초록
Brian Friel’s Translations uses the historical frame of the English Ordnance Survey and the theme of language to expose the traumatic effects of erased identity and national loss. These devices have been given much attention in scholarly discussions. Less observed is the character Friel writes to represent and reflect these elements and their effects in Translations. Thus this study examines the themes of the English Ordnance survey and erasure of the Irish language that are embodied in the silent figure Sarah, who haunts the stage with her continuous presence. As the audience witnesses a widening crevasse through the loss of the Irish language and effects of the English Ordnance Survey, so Sarah experiences the same erasure, her voice falling into the silence. By examining Sarah and analyzing her story, audiences encounter the traumatic remnants of colonized Ireland. In addition, Friel uses Sarah as a dramatic device to stand in not only as the female subaltern but also as a reflection of Ireland itself. As a result, Sarah’s story articulates parallel trauma-- that of the English Ordnance Survey and its effect on the Irish language and that of the doubly colonized female. In conclusion, Friel’s dramatization of these traumas encourages audiences to confront and embrace their own traumatic histories so that they might begin to heal the scars left by generations of affliction.
Abstract
Brian Friel’s Translations uses the historical frame of the English Ordnance Survey and the theme of language to expose the traumatic effects of erased identity and national loss. These devices have been given much attention in scholarly discussions. Less observed is the character Friel writes to represent and reflect these elements and their effects in Translations. Thus this study examines the themes of the English Ordnance survey and erasure of the Irish language that are embodied in the silent figure Sarah, who haunts the stage with her continuous presence. As the audience witnesses a widening crevasse through the loss of the Irish language and effects of the English Ordnance Survey, so Sarah experiences the same erasure, her voice falling into the silence. By examining Sarah and analyzing her story, audiences encounter the traumatic remnants of colonized Ireland. In addition, Friel uses Sarah as a dramatic device to stand in not only as the female subaltern but also as a reflection of Ireland itself. As a result, Sarah’s story articulates parallel trauma-- that of the English Ordnance Survey and its effect on the Irish language and that of the doubly colonized female. In conclusion, Friel’s dramatization of these traumas encourages audiences to confront and embrace their own traumatic histories so that they might begin to heal the scars left by generations of affliction.
