论中国话剧现代性的生成机制——以“演剧职业化”运动为支点的考察

On the Formation of Modernity of Chinese Drama ——In the Perspective of the Professional Performance Movement

话剧的现代性是在中国特定的历史和文化境遇中逐步生成的,有时候舞台艺术先行一步,有时候创作发展较快。但是,这些单兵突进式的现代性却很难持久,随时都会变质或坍塌。因为,话剧不仅是一门综合艺术,内部结构复杂,而且有着广阔的社会关联域,牵一发而动全身。所以,只有当演剧走上职业化道路,取得独立的社会身份以后,话剧的现代性才获得了一个坚实的成长平台和必要的社会资源,各方面均衡协调地发展起来,在国家与市场的张力中迅速走向成熟,走向自我,形成了鲜明的市民化、中国化特色。

The modernity of Chinese drama has come into being within the particular historical and cultural context of modem China. Since the developments of playwriting＇s and that of stagecraft have never been balanced, the modernity as reflected in the separated developments is ready to decay, for, as we know, the drama is not only kind of comprehensive art with a complex inner structure, but also a social phenomenon with far-reaching connections. Therefore, only when drama performance becomes a professional career, which is accepted by society, can the modernity of Chinese drama have its own solid ground and sufficient social resources for an all-round harmonious development, so to form its Chinese characteristics and serve the people.
