新中国六十年歌德戏剧研究

A Review and Analysis of Studies of Johann Wolfgang Goethe's Dramatic Works in the People's Republic of China(1949-2009)

文章以德国学界及新中国成立前国内歌德研究学术史为参照,试图归纳和梳理出新中国六十年歌德戏剧研究的主要特点和重要脉络。中国学界对于歌德戏剧的研究以《浮士德》为中心展开,真正的高潮出现在1978年之后,此前的研究受到政治时局和意识形态的影响。文章重点对改革开放后三十年的《浮士德》研究从主题内容研究、戏剧理论与实践研究、比较和接受研究三个方面予以考察分析,并指出中国歌德戏剧研究尚待开拓的空间。

Johann Wolfgang Goethe, as one of the first few Western classical authors introduced to modern China, has been warmly welcomed by Chinese readers. This paper attempts to summarize and sort out the major features and main streams of critical reviews and academic studies about Goethe＇s dramatic works in the People＇s Republic of China from 1949 to 2009, based on the historical research of Goethe in Germany as well as that in the late Qing-Dynasty and New China. Before 1978, as social and historical criticism played a dominant role in China＇s study of Goethe, great emphasis has been laid on the social and historical values of his works. Since 1978, the study of Goethe＇s drama, mainly that of Faust, has made fruitful achievements in thematic research, theory and practice of theater studies, and comparative and reception studies, but little attention has been paid to Goethe＇s other dramatic works, particularly their formal and aesthetic dimensions.
