新国族形象的想象与建构——20世纪中国红色戏剧农民形象的历史递嬗

Imagination and Construction of the Image of the New Nation:The Historic Transmutation of Farmers’Image in 20th-Century Chinese Red Drama

20世纪中国红色戏剧历经时代风云,涤荡着复杂多元的农民群像,并以此建构了不断演进的新国族之农民形象谱系:苏区红色戏剧和左翼戏剧塑形的农民形象建立起新国族形象的雏形;解放区戏剧展现的新农民形象是新国族形象在新时代的延续和深化;“十七年”及文革时期戏剧中的社会主义新农民形象体现了新国族形象塑造的理想期许;新时期主流(主旋律)戏剧里的新农民形象响应了改革开放的时代呼唤。农民形象的历史递嬗及发生在这些农民形象身上的悲喜剧,反映了中国社会政治经济变革的艰辛和转机、苦难和希望。

In the 20^(th) century,China’s red drama went through stormy times,cleaning up the complex and diversified images of farmers and thus constructing an evolving pedigree of the farmers’image for the new nation:The farmers’image shaped by Soviet red drama and left-wing drama created the embryonic form of the new nation’s image;the new farmers’image in liberated-area drama was the continuation and deepening of the new national image in the new era;the image of the new socialist farmers in the dramas of the“seventeen years”and the Cultural Revolution embodied the idealistic expectations of shaping the image of the new nation;and the new farmers’image in mainstream(central-melody)drama in the new era responded to the call of the times for reform and opening-up.The historic transmutation of the farmers’image and the tragicomedy that happened to these farmers’images,reflects the hardships and turnaround,suffering and hope of China’s social,political and economic reforms.
