چکیده مقاله:

The present research studies Imamu Amiri Baraka’s well-known and Obie Award winning play, Dutchman (1964), in the light of Michel Foucault’s ideas in order to scrutinize the notion of power and the possibilities of resistance against power in the society of America during 1960s. The main focus of this research is to analyze the main characters of Dutchman, Clay and Lula, in terms of the possibilities of resistance to the prevailing power and of trying different modes of being a self in the society of the United States during 1960s, known as the era of Civil Rights movements, which is an unrest period in the history of America. The dynamics of relationship between white and black Americans in contemporary U. S. made this play an appropriate work of art for Foucauldian study of the notion of power and the possibility of resistance. Foucault’s importance in literary criticism is in his new definitions of social and cultural institutions like power, knowledge, sexuality, etc. Foucault’s conception of power is a modern one since it rejects the traditional negative and repressive nature of the concept and defines it in terms of a productive force, although oppressive. Foucault believes power is a strategy which is present in all layers of society and all relations and produces identities through instruments such as normalization. This research shows that a Foucauldian resistance does not lead to total freedom of power, but it includes an individual’s performing some possible actions in the scope that is defined by power itself
