婆媳冲突:内隐的男权世界——从祁太秧歌“婆媳冲突”型剧目中看近代家庭的男性权威和长者意者

Conflicts between Mothers and Daughters-in-Law: Patriarchy in Essence——Masculine Authority and Patriarchal Will of Modern Family in Qitai Yangge Opera

“两代家庭”中的婆媳冲突是乡土社会最基本也最深入的伦理纠葛。本文透过小戏所展示的表层女性权威世界,解读其背后男性家长的强大权力意志,女性权力仍处于从属地位;而第二代男主人公-儿子所表现出男权的缺失和沦丧则应归结于对“长者意志”的屈从;小戏中表现出了民众对权威者滥用权力的不满及其反抗,不过由于其反抗的目的并不是为了构建新的权威秩序,所以导致了其反抗方式的消极性。

The conflict between mothers and daughters-in-law in “two generations families” is the most basic ethical dispute In local society. This paper illustrates three aspects reflected through Qitai yangge opera：firstly, under the seemingly authoritative females, there exists the formidable male power will, which means that females are still of the subordinate status;secondly,lack of patriarchy in the son （second generation male） implies his submission to the “elder will”; finally, the opera reflects that the goal of populace revolt against authority was not for constructing new authoritative order, so the revolt was negative.
