辛亥革命中上海戏剧界的社会表演

Social Performance of Shanghai Theatre in the Revolution of 1911

“表演”不仅仅是艺术范畴内众人皆知的“表演”,虽然在传统上它和戏剧艺术有关,但同时它也是日常生活的一个重要组成部分,在社会生活中加入“他者”这一向度,“表演”的含义便具有了社会学的含义。纵观辛亥革命时期上海的戏剧界,当时的戏剧艺人不仅在舞台上表演,同时亲身参加革命,把表演的范围扩展到了整个社会。除此之外,这种社会表演还体现在顺应时势地编演新剧以及期望得到政治人物的好感来提升自己的地位。

“Performing” is not only a well-known “performance” in the field of art, although it is traditionally related to theatrical art, but it is also an important part of daily life.To add the dimension of “the other” into social life, the meaning of “performing” has a sociological meaning.Throughout the theatrical circles of Shanghai during the 1911 Revolution, theatrical artists at that time not only performed on the stage, but also participated in the revolution personally, which extended the scope of performance to the whole society.In addition, this kind of social performance is also reflected in compiling new plays to adapt to the current situation and expecting to be favored by politicians to improve their status.
