This study examines the mimetic impulse in Eugène Ionesco's Massacre Games(1970), by analysing the scenes with Theodor W. Adorno's mimesis theory. It aims at emphasising the value of Massacre Games against the tendency of critiques so far. I assert that Massacre Games, as a work of the theatre of absurd, reveals a chance for introspection about Western civilisation and a possibility of utopia. In the drama, ‘mimesis of negativity’provoked by an unknown infectious disease unveils the inhuman and absurd sides in reality, such as the incapacity of reason that can not maintain human existence, the oppression and the violence of the ideology of hygiene, and the reification of human life. On the other side, ‘mimesis of negation of negativity’appeared by a few people who face death with others in the distinct way keeps the potential truth. Both the drama and mimesis theory never directly indicate the negativity nor suggest utopia, which are in order to oppose perpetuating fixed ideas about reconciliation, compromise and utopia.
Abstract
This study examines the mimetic impulse in Eugène Ionesco's Massacre Games(1970), by analysing the scenes with Theodor W. Adorno's mimesis theory. It aims at emphasising the value of Massacre Games against the tendency of critiques so far. I assert that Massacre Games, as a work of the theatre of absurd, reveals a chance for introspection about Western civilisation and a possibility of utopia. In the drama, ‘mimesis of negativity’provoked by an unknown infectious disease unveils the inhuman and absurd sides in reality, such as the incapacity of reason that can not maintain human existence, the oppression and the violence of the ideology of hygiene, and the reification of human life. On the other side, ‘mimesis of negation of negativity’appeared by a few people who face death with others in the distinct way keeps the potential truth. Both the drama and mimesis theory never directly indicate the negativity nor suggest utopia, which are in order to oppose perpetuating fixed ideas about reconciliation, compromise and utopia.
