“毛古斯”戏剧表现形态历史衍变的人类学考察

An Anthropological Review on the Development of "Maogusi" Drama of the Tujia People

"毛古斯"戏剧的表现形态在历史发展过程中经历了一个"层累递进"的复合化过程,衍变的痕迹隐约可见。在其表现形态中,一方面不断加进体现新的时代内容的表现元素,另一方面又包含了原有戏剧形态的某些"残留",造成奇异的古今"混同"状态。这种看似矛盾的表现形态恰恰反映出"毛古斯"作为一种民族原始戏剧发展的内在逻辑性和有序性。

＂Maogusi＂ Drama, originated from traditional Tujia dance, has come through an accumulative process in its historical change. On the one hand,elements are constantly added to show new content of the era in its performance;on the other hand, it contains some original traces of the old form. This seemingly contradictory performance shows the inner logic and order of ＂Maogusi＂ as a primitive drama in its development.
