《牡丹亭》的第三空间

The Third Space of The Peony Pavilion

空间理论尤其是索亚的第三空间理论,对于阐释《牡丹亭》花园意象有新的贡献。花园作为第三空间不仅是《牡丹亭》故事发生的空间,也是从现实空间到梦境、灵异空间的隐形通道。汤显祖在布局《牡丹亭》空间的过程中,将这三元空间不断转换、联通、调和,不仅理清了剧本的情节发展,而且充分利用各个空间的功能推起了戏剧冲突的高潮,达到了艺术的顶峰。通过《牡丹亭》第三空间——花园的协商、改造功能的发现,我们对第三空间理论在空间的属性和功能方面作了有益的补充。

The"space"theory,especially Edward W.Soja’s"Third space"theory,has a new contribution to the interpretation of the"The Peony Pavilion"garden image.As the third space,the garden is not only the space where the story of"The Peony Pavilion"takes place,but also the invisible channel from the first space of reality to the second space of dream and spirit.In the process of arranging the space of"The Peony Pavilion",Tang Xianzu constantly transformed,connected and reconciled the three-dimensional space,not only clarifying the plot development of the script,but also making full use of the functions of each space to promote the climax of the drama conflict.Through the discovery of the third space of Peony Pavilion,the negotiation and transformation function of the garden,we have made a useful supplement to the third space theory in terms of the attributes and functions of space.
