JEFFREy S. DoTy’S Book shakEspEarE, popularity and thE public sphErE represents an engaging approach to the intersection of politics, publicity, and popularity in late sixteenthand early seventeenthcentury england, illustrating the way these notions are portrayed and put into action in six plays by William shakespeare. doty’s starting point is that the idea of popularity was in flux in early modern england. Political theorists and moralists often condemned attempts by the elites to rely on the common support and to obtain popular favor as a way to advance their careers in the political milieu, and public discourse could easily fall under the category of defamation. at the same time, the social and cultural changes of the time had led to “the emergence of public relations” (2) and to new modes of engagement among monarchy, nobility, and commoners. Whereas elizabeth i’s style of monarchy was firmly based on the idea of courting her subjects’ love and admiration (and thus on establishing a peculiar type of symbolic relationship between the crown and the people), James i’s conception and performance of monarchical power was far more detached and resistant to similar interactions. court nobility also had to carefully consider the degree to which they relied on popular support to obtain political gains, since positive public opinion could be beneficial but could also quickly raise suspicions among peers. these tensions within the performance of politics in the public domain made their way onto the stage. doty thus argues that “shakespeare made popularity a central theme in his plays for London’s amphitheaters” (18). He presents the thesis that “when shakespeare dramatized the tactics for winning the love of the people, he subjected the Elizabethan controversy of ‘popularity’—and the real figures associated with it—to playgoer scrutiny” (19), thus engaging the audience with the political conundrums presented on stage. due to this active role that playgoers could experience, doty considers that “the public stages were already spaces of popularity” (23), where figures of power—their words, their actions, their motivations—were subjected not only to the gaze of their anonymous audience members, but also to their opinion and judgment. in other words, “judging and sentencing plays were two distinctly democratic pleasures of playgoing” (66).

JEFFREy S. DoTy 的书震动了EspEarE、popularity and the public sphere 代表了一种引人入胜的方法来处理 16 世纪末 17 世纪初英国的政治、宣传和流行的交叉点,说明了这些观念在威廉·莎士比亚的六部戏剧中被描绘和付诸行动的方式. doty 的出发点是流行的观念在近代早期的英国不断变化。政治理论家和道德家经常谴责精英们企图依靠共同支持并获得民众青睐,以此作为在政治环境中发展事业的一种方式,而公共话语很容易被归入诽谤的范畴。与此同时,当时的社会和文化变迁导致了“公共关系的出现”(2)以及君主、贵族和平民之间的新交往模式。伊丽莎白一世的君主制风格坚定地基于追求臣民的爱慕和钦佩(从而建立一种特殊类型的王室与人民之间的象征关系),而詹姆士一世对君主权力的构想和表现则远非如此。分离并抵抗类似的相互作用。宫廷贵族还必须仔细考虑他们在多大程度上依赖民众支持来获得政治利益,因为积极的舆论可能是有益的,但也会迅速引起同僚的怀疑。公共领域政治表演中的这些紧张关系登上了舞台。因此,多蒂认为“莎士比亚在他为伦敦圆形剧场创作的戏剧中使人气成为中心主题”(18)。他提出的论点是“当莎士比亚戏剧化赢得人民喜爱的策略时,他将伊丽莎白时代的‘人气’争论——以及与之相关的真实人物——置于观众的监督之下”(19),从而吸引观众舞台上出现的政治难题。由于玩家可以体验到这种积极的角色,多蒂认为“公共舞台已经是受欢迎的空间”(23),在那里权力人物——他们的言辞、他们的行为、他们的动机——不仅受到他们的注视匿名的观众,更要他们的意见和判断。换句话说,“评判和量刑是两种截然不同的民主乐趣”(66)。杰弗里S。多蒂。莎士比亚、流行和公共领域。他让伊丽莎白时代的“人气”争议——以及与之相关的真实人物——接受了观众的审查”(19),从而让观众参与到舞台上呈现的政治难题中。由于玩家可以体验到这种积极的角色,多蒂认为“公共舞台已经是受欢迎的空间”(23),在那里权力人物——他们的言辞、他们的行为、他们的动机——不仅受到他们的注视匿名的观众,更要他们的意见和判断。换句话说,“评判和量刑是两种截然不同的民主乐趣”(66)。杰弗里S。多蒂。莎士比亚、流行和公共领域。他让伊丽莎白时代的“人气”争议——以及与之相关的真实人物——接受了观众的审查”(19),从而让观众参与到舞台上呈现的政治难题中。由于玩家可以体验到这种积极的角色,多蒂认为“公共舞台已经是受欢迎的空间”(23),在那里权力人物——他们的言辞、他们的行动、他们的动机——不仅受到他们的注视匿名的观众,更要他们的意见和判断。换句话说,“评判和量刑是两种截然不同的民主乐趣”(66)。杰弗里S。多蒂。莎士比亚、流行和公共领域。由于玩家可以体验到这种积极的角色,多蒂认为“公共舞台已经是受欢迎的空间”(23),在那里权力人物——他们的言辞、他们的行为、他们的动机——不仅受到他们的注视匿名的观众,更要他们的意见和判断。换句话说,“评判和量刑是两种截然不同的民主乐趣”(66)。杰弗里S。多蒂。莎士比亚、流行和公共领域。由于玩家可以体验到这种积极的角色,多蒂认为“公共舞台已经是受欢迎的空间”(23),在那里权力人物——他们的言辞、他们的行为、他们的动机——不仅受到他们的注视匿名的观众,更要他们的意见和判断。换句话说,“评判和量刑是两种截然不同的民主乐趣”(66)。杰弗里S。多蒂。莎士比亚、流行和公共领域。“评判和量刑是两种截然不同的民主乐趣”(66)。杰弗里S。多蒂。莎士比亚、流行和公共领域。“评判和量刑是两种截然不同的民主乐趣”(66)。杰弗里S。多蒂。莎士比亚、流行和公共领域。
