“自反”的历史--上海沦陷时期李健吾的历史剧书写

"Self-reflection"in History--Historical Playwriting by Li Jianwu During the Occupied Period

《阿史那》与《王德明》是李健吾于上海沦陷时期改译自莎剧的两部剧作,二者共同呈现出历史剧特有的自反性构型。这一构型不仅在作品的美学形式与主题学层面得到显现,同时也与剧作者彼时的生命经验若合符节。李健吾的历史剧书写以古今中外的自由转换打开历史与现实的想象。此外,它们也是李健吾的文学理想与戏剧商业利益折中调和的产物,凝聚着剧作家在沦陷时空下的伦理认知、身世抱负与隐微心史。

Asina and Wang Deming are two historical plays written by Li Jianwu during the occupation of Shanghai,adapted from Shakespearean dramas.Together,they exhibit a distinctive self-reflective structure inherent in historical plays.This structure is not only evident in the aesthetic forms and thematic layers of the works but also resonates with the playwright's life experiences at that time.Li Jianwu's historical playwriting involves a free interchange between ancient and modern,Eastern and Western cultures,opening up the imagination of history and reality.Furthermore,these works represent a compromise between Li Jianwu's literary ideals and commercial interests in the drama,encapsulating the ethical awareness,aspirations,and subtle personal history of the playwright during the occupied period.
