ABSTRACT This article considers Bolton based community drama group, Melodramatics, and the ways in which their practice helps illuminate forms of relational activity that confront the nihilism of the resilient subject. If we accept resilience as a normative force that restricts the ability of the political subject to ‘become otherwise’, we are invited to turn towards methods of political discourse that facilitate subversive thought and activity at an ontological level. Through a consideration of Melodramatics’ careful attention to one another as they devised the play Seeing Red, this article examines the capacity for theatre to resource politically significant practices of relational becoming.

脆弱的实践——戏剧、主观性和在Melodramatics' Seeing Red中变得不一样

摘要 本文考虑了以博尔顿为基础的社区戏剧团体 Melodramatics，以及他们的实践有助于阐明对抗弹性主体虚无主义的关系活动形式的方式。如果我们接受弹性作为一种规范力量，它限制了政治主体“变得不同”的能力，我们就会被邀请转向在本体论层面促进颠覆性思想和活动的政治话语方法。通过考虑 Melodramatics 在设计戏剧 Seeing Red 时对彼此的谨慎关注，本文考察了戏剧资源在政治上具有重要意义的关系生成实践的能力。
