上海流亡犹太戏剧与文化身份建构

Shanghai Jew ish Refugees' Theater and Cultural Identity Construction

上世纪三四十年代,大批欧洲犹太人为逃避纳粹迫害而流亡上海。他们在艰难的生存环境下未放弃精神生活的追求,组织了丰富多彩的文化生活。戏剧作为其中重要的一项,不仅展现了上海犹太难民的精神世界,还是建构集体和个人身份的有效形式。本文拟从戏剧组织、戏剧演出、戏剧创作等方面来考察难民在戏剧中进行身份建构的努力以及由此引发的意识形态冲突。

In the 1930s and 1940s, a lot of European Jews fled to Shanghai to avoid the persecution of the German Nazis. Under the hard living-conditions, they never gave up their spiritual pursuits and led a diversified cultural life. Theater play, one of the most im- portant cultural activities, not only presents the spiritual world of Shanghai Jewish refugees, but also functions as an effective way of constructing collective and individual identities. This article makes a survey on Shanghai Jewish refugees＇ efforts in identity reconstruction and the aroused ideological conflicts among them in the field of theater by focusing on theater organization, theater performance and theater composition.
