As Bourdieu argues we cannot think of authors or their work as if they exist in a
vacuum. They are a part of the social, cultural, ideological, historical structure; not
only a part but also a product, a result of structures that gave birth to them. As an
impoverished Anglo-Irish immigrant economically dependent on his mother
socially, economically, politically and culturally Shaw was an outsider. This paper
aims to read Mrs Warren’s Profession from a Bourdieuan point of view. To do that this paper takes Pinero’s The Second Mrs Tanqueray as a representative of
conventional West End play. Pinero’s play has a significant role in the composition of Mrs Warren’s Profession since Shaw in many different occasions related the idea
of writing Mrs Warren’s Profession as a reaction against the social hypocrisy and
shallowness presented in The Second Mrs Tanqueray.

UN/ASHAMED: SHAW’UN MRS WARREN’S PROFESSION VE PİNERO’NUN THE SECOND MRS TANQUERAY ADLI OYUNLARININ BOURDİEUCU BİR OKUMASI
Year 2019,
Volume: 6 Issue: 2, 479 - 489, 22.10.2019
Bourdieu’nün de belirttiği gibi yazarları veya onların eserlerini sanki bir boşlukta
var olmuşlar gibi ele alamayız. Sosyal, kültürel, ideolojik, tarihsel yapıların birer parçasıdır bunlar; yalnızca bir parçası değil aynı zamanda da onları doğuran
yapıların bir ürünü ve sonucudurlar aynı zamanda. Annesine bağımlı fakir düşmüş Anglo-İrlandalı bir göçmen olarak, zamanının birçok farklı yazarının aksine
toplumsal, ekonomik, siyasi ve kültürel açılardan Shaw sistemin dışında kalmış bir
figürdür. Bütün bunların ışığında bu çalışma Shaw’un Mrs Warren’s Profession adlı
oyununu Bourdieucu bir yaklaşımla ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Bunu yaparken de
dönemin popüler geleneksel tiyatro anlayışını yansıtan bir Batı Yakası oyununu
Arthur Winego Pinero’nun The Second Mrs Tanqueray adlı oyununu da mercek
altına alır. Pinero’nun oyunu Shaw’un Mrs Warren’s Profession adlı eserini
yazmasında çok büyük etkiye sahip olması dolayısıyla yazarın sıkça atıfta
bulunduğu ve bir bakıma kendi tiyatro anlayışını kurmada karşıt örnek olarak aldığı
bir eserdir. Shaw oyunuyla Pinero’nun eserindeki ikiyüzlülüğü ve yüzeyselliği sert
bir şekilde eleştirmektedir.
