  • Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: the Operatic Anxieties of the Fly
    Desire, Disease, Death, and David Cronenberg: The Operatic Anxieties of The Fly Yves Saint-Cyr 451 University of Toronto Introduction In 1996, Linda and Michael Hutcheon released their groundbreaking book, Opera: Desire, Disease, Death, a work that analyses operatic representations of tuberculosis, syphilis, cholera, and AIDS. They followed this up in 2000 with Bodily Charm, a discussion of the corporeal in opera; and, in 2004, they published Opera: The Art of Dying, in which they argue that opera has historically provided a metaphorical space for the ritualistic contemplation of mortality, whether the effect is cathartic, medita- tive, spiritual, or therapeutic. This paper is based on a Hutcheonite reading of the Fly saga, which to date is made up of seven distinct incarnations: George Langelaan published the original short story in 1957; Neumann and Clavell’s 1958 film adaptation was followed by two sequels in 1959 and 1965; David Cronenberg re-made the Neumann film in 1986, which gener- ated yet another sequel in 1989; and, most recently in 2008, Howard Shore and David Henry Hwang adapted Cronenberg’s film into an opera. If the Hutcheons are correct that opera engenders a ritualistic contemplation of mortality by sexualising disease, how does this practice influence composers and librettists’ choice of source material? Historically, opera has drawn on the anxieties of its time and, congruently, The Fly: Canadian Review of Comparative Literature / Revue Canadienne de Littérature Comparée CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC 0319–051x/11/38.4/451 © Canadian Comparative Literature Association CRCL DECEMBER 2011 DÉCEMBRE RCLC The Opera draws on distinctly 21st-century fears.

  • Metadrama and the Deconstruction of Stereotypes: David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly and Bondage Haris Abdulwahab Fayez Noureldin
    Metadrama and the Deconstruction of Stereotypes: David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly and Bondage Haris Abdulwahab Fayez Noureldin* Song: I'm an artist, Rene. You were my greatest . acting challenge. (She laughs.) (M. Butterfly 63)1 Song: But no. Men. You're like the rest of them. It's all in the way we dress, and make up our faces and bat our eyelashes. You really have so little imagination! (M. Butterfly 90) Representations of Asians in America have always been influenced by biased stereotypical images. According to James S. Moy, "Anglo-American playwrights have portrayed the Chinese in America as collections of fetishized parts and as exotics" (48). Though there were other attempts seemingly providing positive images of the East as 'wise' in contrast with the West as 'corrupt', these attempts -Eugene O'Neill's Marco Millions is a striking example- could do little more than present the East as 'exotic' and 'heathen'. With the rise of Asian-American studies in the 1960s, there appeared Asian writers, Chinese and Japanese, whose end goal was to dispel such stereotypes and present instead conscious self-representation. Notable among these is the Chinese-American playwright, David Henry Hwang (1957-), whose plays provide insightful explorations of how it feels to be Chinese or Asian in a racist society. Regarded as "the most renowned Asian-American dramatist of the twentieth century" (Trudeau 199), Hwang distinguishes himself as a dramatist by blending Eastern and Western subjects and theatrical styles. The theme of the fluidity of identity is recurrent in almost all his plays. Hwang posits the changeability of a person's identity according to the various contacts s/he experiences.
