Oleanna (1992) written by David Mamet reflects dynamics of ideology and power shift which operate in discourse practices. In addition, we can identify not only Mamet’s grim perspective on American higher education but also controversial aspects of political correctness. As a social institution including the patriarchal culture, the educational institution functions as one of the fundamental social ideologies.
Seemingly, the text is likely to foreground the matter of sexual harrassment. However, Mamet reveals that the issue of sexual harassment is essentially linked with power relationship. Apart from the harassment issue, the central concern of this research is to investigate how language use can affect the formation of power and how power of language use transfers through this text.
In Oleanna, a male professor, John, possessing power, appears as a representative icon of the established ideology in comparison with the female student, Carol, representing the powerless class. The confrontation with language between professor and student illuminates the hierarchical relationship within institutions. Moreover, there is the power shift of language between male and female characters. One who has the power of language can control and suppress others’ voice.
Through the unequal relationship between professor and student, this text is concerned with conflicts between the subject and the other. It can be possible to be a subject if one may have domination over language. Also, the control of language is associated with the will to knowledge. Most importantly, Carol can accomplish the reversal of ideology of power by engaging in plays on signifiers.
In terms of Lacan’s division of signifier and signified, Carol takes advantage of the signifiers from John's rhetoric as a weapon to attack him. In particular, writing down John’s pedantic jargons, Carol tries to assimilate his values of the established ideology. Carol’s insight into particular signifiers from John can channel a route for learning the relationship between language and power. With emphasis on power shift and domination of language, the relevance of ideology??and the interpellation of subject in terms of Althusser are discussed.
In conclusion, Carol’s adherence to John’s signifiers shows the ideological shift from male-dominant discourse to discourse of marginality. With analysis on the relationship between language and power, power over language may allow one to have hegemonic priority. Therefore, the hegemony of language provides a possibility of existing as a subject. However, desire toward the hegemony of power and language has been reiterated like infinite regress of signifiers, thus producing more signifiers. Carol’s desire toward power and ideology cannot be satisfied although Carol could seize the hegemony of language over John. Therefore, desire toward power and ideology cannot set one free from the shackle of language.
