再造伎艺:社会变迁下的上海评弹艺人及其伎艺表达(1949—1953)

Remaking the Artistry: The Ping Tan Artists’ and Their Performance in Shanghai in a Changing Society from 1949 to 1953

20世纪40年代末至50年代初期,作为上海地方文化的特征之一,评弹面对着的是一种全新的社会语境以及国家制度。在这种新的历史环境下,评弹艺人们不单在日常惯习上面临着被更改的可能,甚而对自己谙习的伎艺,也必须进行再次甄别乃至重新塑造。在他们的伎艺即将被国家征调的前提下,艺人们伎艺表达的对象及表演模式被作了重新设定。然而,在国家的强力形塑下,艺人的心理选择与国家也并非完全一致。他们在伎艺表达上的越轨,无形中也在构建自己的私语体系。

From the end of the 1940’s to the early 1950’s Ping Tan,one of the local cultural features in Shanghai,was facing a totally new society and national political system.The Ping Tan artists faced the possibility of having their daily routine altered and their artistry reevaluated or rebuilt as their audience base was redefined.But their personal and psychological choices were not necessarily aligned with the official lines.
