从女性题材戏曲创作看现代戏曲的现代品格

A Study on the Modernity of ModernXiquthrough the Works on Women Theme

"现代戏曲"的现代品格主要体现在三个方面:其一是"人学的戏剧",即以立人为第一要义;其二是"当下的戏剧",即用古老的艺术形式表现与当代人相通的思想感情;其三是"戏曲的戏剧",即坚守戏曲的艺术规律与美学原则。从女性题材戏曲创作看现代戏曲的现代品格,需注重以下三个方面:一、尊重真实、复杂、幽微的人性,塑造血肉丰满的女性主人公,避免"圣母情结"与"妓女情结";二、探寻女性主人公与现代社会、现代女性及现代意识的连接,以防落入"道德教化"与"自我感动"的陷阱;三、关注性别文化议题下的两性创作主体,甄别不同性别视角下戏曲剧作家对女性命运共同与不同的书写。

The modernity of"modern xiqu"is mainly reflected in three aspects:first,"humanity",that is,taking people as the major concern;second,"being current",that is,expressing the thoughts and feelings of contemporary people in the traditional artistic form;and third,at its core,it is"xiqu play",that is,sticking to the artistic rules and aesthetic principles of xiqu.The following three aspects should be observed in the study of the modernity of modern xiqu through the works on women theme.Firstly,the complexity and subtlety of human nature should be respected so as to create female characters of flesh and blood,and to avoid the tendency of constructing women either as"angels"or as"prostitutes".Secondly,the connection between the heroine and modern society,modern women and modern consciousness should be explored,so as to avoid falling into the trap of"moralization",or the trap that"the creators are unable to touch anyone else but themselves".Thirdly,the difference between male and female playwrights concerning gender issues should be paid close attention to,so as to observe the convergence and divergence in their writing of female characters from different perspectives.
