Abstract Employing an interdisciplinary sociopolitical framework, I examine Philip Osment’s play This Island’s Mine (1988) and demonstrate how it interrogates and repudiates Margaret Thatcher’s neoconservative authoritarian populism. Specifically, I argue that Osment’s play constitutes not only a damning indictment of Thatcherism, but also an enduring work that speaks directly to our present sociopolitical conjuncture, which has witnessed varied forms of reactionary populism sweep nations throughout the international community.

过去作为序幕:在菲利普·奥斯蒙特的《这个岛的我》中想象一个美丽的新世界

摘要 采用跨学科的社会政治框架,我考察了菲利普·奥斯蒙 (Philip Osment) 的戏剧《这个岛的矿井》(1988),并展示了它如何质疑和否定玛格丽特·撒切尔 (Margaret Thatcher) 的新保守主义威权民粹主义。具体来说,我认为奥斯蒙特的戏剧不仅构成了对撒切尔主义的谴责,而且还是一部持久的作品,它直接反映了我们目前的社会政治形势,这种形势见证了各种形式的反动民粹主义席卷整个国际社会。
