先锋与迎合:“五四”话剧特征的生成及流变

Pioneer and Catering:the Generation and Evolution of the Characteristics of the May 4th Drama

五四文学革命带来了文学观念、内容、语言载体、形式等各方面的改革与解放。作为一个几乎纯然西方化的文学样式,“五四”话剧极力否定传统戏剧,积极借鉴和模仿西方话剧,在一定程度上揭示了此后中国话剧的历史走向,具有鲜明的先锋性。但由于它是作为启蒙工具被引进的,又不能忽视票房,制约了其先锋性的充分发展,迎合性时有表现,甚至有回归传统戏剧的倾向。

The May 4 th Literary Revolution brought about the reform and liberation of literary concepts,contents,language carriers and forms. As a literary style with almost pure westernization,the May 4 th Drama strongly negates traditional dramas and actively draws lessons from and imitates western dramas. To a certain extent,it reveals the historical trend of Chinese drama since then,with a distinctive vanguard. But because it was introduced as a tool of enlightenment,it cannot ignore box office,which restricts the full development of its avant-garde,catering to the performance from time to time,and even has the tendency to return to traditional drama.
