女性主义批评视域下的戏曲新编——以“休妻/夫”故事模型为中心的探讨

A Study of Xiqu Adaptations from a Feminist Perspective:A Discussion on the Divorce Story Mode

以女性主义批评的方法来解读戏曲,既可以是传统戏曲在当代传承与演变的一条重要路径,也应该是新编剧目究竟以何种价值取向与审美维度面对当下戏剧环境与年轻观众的一种尝试。在女性主义批评视域下,众多以女性为主人公并以"婚恋为题材"的剧目,有一个矛盾冲突最为尖锐的"王有道休妻"及"朱买臣休妻"等"休妻/夫"故事模型,从中可以看出20世纪以来京剧《御碑亭》及昆剧《烂柯山》等经典剧目在不同时期的改写和编演,以及戏曲新编创作中女性价值观念的演变及其命运模式的重构。

Interpreting Xiqu from a feminist perspective is an important way to carry on and develop traditional Xiqu in modern times and also an attempt to explore the value orientation and aesthetic dimension with which the contemporary adaptations of traditional Xiqu stories confront the current cultural environment and young audience.The divorce story mode's theme of“love and marriage”is studied from the perspective of feminist criticism in the selected plays of female protagonists.This is to examine the adaptations and performances of the classic plays Yu Bei Ting and Lanke Mountain of different times and to explore the evolution of women's values and the reconstruction of their fate in contemporary Xiqu adaptations.
