庶民文化的现代转型——以东北二人转和台湾歌仔戏为例的讨论

Subaltern Culture's Modern Transformation——A Comparative Study of Er-ren-zhuan and Taiwan Residents opera

东北二人转和台湾歌仔戏是分别诞生在东北大地和台湾本岛的地方曲艺和戏曲剧种。它们都有着顽强的草根性和抗争性,都是在庶民文化与精英文化、本土化与殖民化抗争的夹缝中求得生存,并在坚守各自本质特征的同时谋求现代转型得以发展和壮大。它们的发展与衍变既是戏剧史,也是社会史和抗争史。它们堪称中国庶民文化现代转型的典型代表。

Er-ren-zhuan and Taiwan Residents opera are originated respectively in the Northeast of China and the island of Taiwan. They all have grass roots. They survive in the crevice between the popular culture and elite culture, localization and resistance of colonization. Eventually they develop and grow through the modem transformation. Their development constitutes not only a history of drama, but also that of so- ciety and struggle. They are typical representatives of China＇ s plebeian culture in modern transformation.
