Abstract

This paper focuses on the dynamics of education in the interplay of power and seduction as creatively displayed in Takarazuka Revue's performances re-enacting the major players of the Cold War: USA and Russia (rather than former Soviet Union). Oceans 11 (cosmos troupe, 2019) and Once Upon a Time in America (snow troupe, 2020), on the one hand, and Land of Gods (cosmos troupe, 2017) and Anastasia (cosmos troupe, 2020), on the other hand, lavishly display subtle interactions of longing and belonging, ecstasy and rage, love and betrayal, envy, hatred and passion, while painstakingly building up irresistible tensions between the instances involved in the performative process: actresses, administrators, audiences. The theoretical support is delivered by Robert Greene’s pragmatic elaborations in his seminal works The 48 Laws of Power (1998 Greene, R. (1998). The 48 laws of power. Penguin Books. [Google Scholar]) and The Art of Seduction (2001 Greene, R. (2001). The art of seduction. Penguin Books. [Google Scholar]): education is never a linear process between a ‘master’ and a ‘disciple’, but an interactive game, governed by the pursuit of joy in overcoming challenges and finding ingenious solutions.

摘要

本文重点关注权力与诱惑相互作用的教育动态，正如宝冢歌剧团在再现冷战主要参与者：美国和俄罗斯（而不是前苏联）的表演中创造性地展示的那样。一方面是《海洋十一》（宇宙剧团，2019）和《美国往事》（雪花剧团，2020），一方面是诸神之地（宇宙剧团，2017）和阿纳斯塔西娅(cosmos troupe, 2020)另一方面，大量展示渴望与归属、狂喜与愤怒、爱与背叛、嫉妒、仇恨与激情的微妙互动，同时在表演过程中煞费苦心地在各个实例之间建立无法抗拒的紧张关系：女演员、行政人员、观众。罗伯特·格林 (Robert Greene) 在他的开创性著作《48 条权力法则》(The 48 Laws of Power ( 1998) 格林，R.（1998 年）。48 条权力法则。企鹅图书。 [谷歌学术搜索] ) 和诱惑的艺术(2001 格林，R.（2001 年）。诱惑的艺术。企鹅图书。 [Google Scholar] ): 教育从来不是“师父”和“弟子”之间的线性过程，而是一种互动游戏，在克服挑战和寻找巧妙解决方案的过程中追求快乐。
