VIGOVCI PROTIV TORIJEVACA: RAZVOJ AMERIČKE DRAME
Whigs against Tories: the development of American drama
Sažetak: Prezirni sarkazam i zajedljiva satira su svakako osećanja koja su obeležila američki ustavno-revolucionarni period. Približavajući se tako Američkoj revoluciji i borbi za nezavisnost, otkrivamo da je osećaj kolonista za smeh i smešno postajao sve izraženiji i sve spremniji da prepozna slabosti svog neprijatelja i da ih predstavi svetu kroz podrugljiv smeh satira. Brojne satire ovakvog karaktera se nisu iznenada pojavile. Njihov trag vodi do perioda mnogo godina pre izbijanja Rata za nezavisnost i do čuvene Bejkonove pobune 1676. godine. Ipak, ono što se ne može poreći je da približavanjem 1776. godine, satire postaju sve brojnije. Odmah nakon prvog ratnog udara satire počinju da se objavljuju u skoro svim dnevnim novinama u kolonijama. Američki dramatisti su uzeli aktivno učešće u borbi za nezavisnost. U početku potencijalna, a kasnije i izvesna revolucija naterala je dramatiste iz redova i patriota i lojalista da definišu sebe, svoje protivnike kao i prirodu samog sukoba na način koji ostaje intrigantan i moćan više od dve stotine godina kasnije.
Abstract: The overwhelming sarcasm and the taunting satire are certainly the feelings that accompanied the American revolutionary period. Approaching both the struggle for independence and the American Revolution, it is discovered that the colonists' sense of laughing and ridiculousness became more pronounced and readier in recognizing the weakness of its enemy and presenting it to the world through the biting laughter of satires. Many satires of this character did not suddenly appear. Their appearance leads to a period many years before the outbreak of the War of Independence and the famous Bacon Rebellion in 1676. Nevertheless, what cannot be denied is that by the approach of 1776, dramatic creativity started its rapid development. Immediately after the first war blow, satires began to be published in nearly every newspaper in the American colonies. American dramatists took an active part in the struggle for independence. At first, the potential, and later, an inevitable revolution made dramatists from the ranks of patriots and loyalists define themselves, their opponents, and the nature of the conflict itself in a way that remains intriguing and powerful over two hundred years later.
