DOI:
https://doi.org/10.37389/abei.v16i0.3562摘要
This article proposes a postcolonial reading of Brian Friel’s Translations, understanding it as piece of work that presents a way out for Ireland to reconcile with England, its colonizer. It has taken the major theoreticians in postcolonial studies as premise to read the play as a place of hybridity.
Keywords: Brian Friel; Translations; hybridity.
