“样板戏”的领袖崇拜

Leadership Worship in "Model Play"

"文革"的领袖崇拜是主流政治意识形态对自身绝对权威的想象性再现,这体现在领袖与群众之间相互神圣化的互动关系之中。"样板戏"作为宣扬领袖崇拜的重要的艺术载体,它具体体现为三个方面:"样板戏"对领袖的神化与民众崇圣心理互为依托;"样板戏"的英雄崇拜与对领袖的极度崇敬彼此勾连;"样板戏"的剧场演出与剧场观看中的偶像崇拜互相呼应。

Leadership-worship in “the Cultural Revolution” is an imaginary emersion of mainstream political ideology, which is embodied in the mutually mystified interaction between leaders and the mass. Model play, as an artistic genre promulgating leadership worship, is expressed in the following aspects： the interdependence between mystification of leaders and the mass＇ psychology of admiring saints; the intercormection between hero worship and the extreme admiration of leaders; the stage performance working in concert with the idol admiration among audience.
