Abstract

This study analyses the three essential elements of the interracial relationship between Amir and Emily in Ayad Akhtar’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Disgraced. They are: Emily’s painting of Amir, her husband, in the style of Portrait of Juan de Pareja by Diego Velázquez; Emily’s White Saviour Complex; and the violence she suffered in the hands of Amir. The first two parts of the analysis will utilise the combination of Identity Construction theory by Stuart Hall, Edward Said’s Orientalism, and the post 9/11 discourse of neo-Orientalism. The last part of the analysis will foreground the entire elements by utilising Stuart Hall’s theory of Articulation. It will be proved that Amir’s violence is an act of retaliation towards Emily’s domination over the production of his identity through representation and her influence in his crucial decisions concerning his relationship with his family. Emily’s victimisation and the emphasis on Amir’s ‘tribalistic bond’ risk a reductionist neo-Orientalist reading of the text. By acknowledging Emily’s White Saviour Complex, the text can be read as a re-articulation of the neo-Orientalist stereotypes of ‘barbaric brown man’ and ‘free white woman.’

Abstract

The increase in young adult speculative fiction raises the issue of child characters being treated as expendable commodities by those in power. One work in which this issue is prominent is Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games series. Using the conceptual definition of commodification according to Mosco’s (2009) political economy of communication theory and DeJaeghere, McCleary, and Josić’s (2016) concept of youth agency, this textual analysis on The Hunger Games series aims to understand how child commodification is represented in the side characters and how it affects their agency in adulthood. Child commodification in The Hunger Games serves two main purposes: entertainment, as seen in Finnick Odair, and government control, as seen in Haymitch Abernathy. Finnick remains a victim of commodification as an adult, which limits his agency. Meanwhile, the adult Haymitch becomes an agent of commodification, thus his agency is unrestricted.
