当代军旅题材电视剧军人形象的变迀

近年来,随着经济的发展和人们思想的解放,越来越多体现和平年代军队建设与军人生活的电视剧出现在荧屏上,一大批阳刚、稳重、坚韧、刚毅的军人形象受到观众喜爱。和平年代,军旅剧中的军人形象发生了许多变化,如人物身份地位普通化、性格塑造丰富化、人物生存状态真实化,这些变化更加彰显了当代军人的真实风采。然而,在军旅剧人物走向大众的同时,也呈现出人物新模式化、人物设置偏颇以及娱乐元素滥用等新问题,阻碍了军旅剧的进一步向前发展。文章结合作品对当代军旅剧中军人形象的变迁以及出现的问题进行分析,以期为后来的军旅剧创作有所启示。     

教育与娱情:中外戏剧价值论永恒的内部角力——以曹禺剧作批评史为中心

“戏剧何为”是曹禺剧作的批评者共同关注的焦点问题之一.耐人寻味的是,在不同历史阶段,研究者们于曹剧的思想价值与艺术价值之间总是有意无意地突出一方而非等而视之——要么肯定一方而否定另一方,要么将一方视为另一方的附属产品.这一现象首先与曹禺在个人创作倾向和时代、社会要求的冲突中所生发的价值犹疑有关——作者在“教育”和“娱情”两大功能之间的摇摆直接导致了其剧作价值倾向的模糊.更进一步说,由于戏剧自身的艺术特性及其不同于其他文类的受众特征,“教育”和“娱情”之间的角力始终潜隐于古今中外戏剧价值论内部,曹剧中两大功能之间的“暗斗”恰是其具体表现之一.     

From the Mouths of Mothers: Can Drama Facilitate Reflective Learning for Social Workers?

This article explores and evaluates a cross-disciplinary small-scale project using applied theatre in social work education. The aim was to provide an ‘Affective Encounter’ where students could practice empathic engagement, understanding of the needs of children who have been sexually abused and their protective parents/carers and engage in the complexities of working with family members who may be resistant. The workshop took place five times over a period of three years and was attended by children and families social workers on a one year post-qualifying graduate diploma course. While the use of verbatim theatre does not offer a guarantee of factual truth, it provided the students with some performed moments of personal testimony which was taken word-for-word from mothers whose children had been sexually abused. This allowed the social workers to hear the marginalised narratives of the protective mothers and to practice without a negative impact on the service user. The evaluation identified from self-report the development of emotional and practical skills and knowledge of available resources. This paper focuses on the emotional skills reported and two emerging themes are discussed: learning for humane practice, and the use of this pedagogical approach to encourage affective reflection.

Girls’ “New Femininity” Refusals and “Good Girl” Recuperations in Soap Talk

The “new femininities” produced in postfeminist media confront girls with complex and challenging subjectivities that reach into the spaces where girls engage in their own productions of self. Feminist scholarship has interrogated and critiqued the “girl” produced in postfeminist popular culture texts, highlighting her internal contradictions and often problematic re/production within the heterosexual matrix. Yet, despite an intensified focus on girls featured in popular culture, the ways that girls themselves make sense of the “girl” in contemporary femininity texts has been relatively neglected. Viewing girls' sense-making of femininity in popular culture texts as crucial in the process of their subjectivity or self-production, in this paper we examine pre-teen girls' negotiations of femininity through their talk about Scarlett, a main teen girl character in a New Zealand soap drama. Our analyses and discussion focus on girls' management of the contradictory and regulatory productions of femininity in the text, in particular the often classed conditions under which girls recuperate the “good girl” discourse to refuse the regulatory femininities inside the heterosexual matrix. We suggest that an absence of empowering discourses outside of postfeminism's sexual empowerment limits girls' resources for critiquing and challenging regulatory femininities, “new” and “traditional.”     

Everyday tragedy and creation: Translated from the French by Karen Isabel Ocaña

In this essay, Michel Maffesoli exalts the poetry of the everyday, and a way of being that, paradoxically, opens one up to life through rituals that smack of a quest for divine nothingness. ‘Everyday Tragedy and Creation’ traces a series of connections: between Benjamin’s particular form of empirical mysticism and the notion of messianic time, the vitalism of Nietzsche (and tangentially his rediscovery of the Greek notion of tragedy and destiny), that of Bergson with his concept of duration, as well as the sociological hermeneutics of Dilthey. In the course of his discussion, Maffesoli invokes Verlaine, Rimbaud, street theatre and Eliot, and proposes a Zen-like approach to everyday happiness. More generally, Maffesoli rejects the temporality of modernism and drama and celebrates instead the ‘non-time’ of the tragedy of living in the present within a medium of communal images and practices.     

中印古典戏剧叙事对话点滴

近至世界史中古时期才成熟的中国戏剧（戏曲）,无可避免地受到域外一些戏剧艺术因素的影响。诸多学者已经注意到印度古典戏剧（梵剧）对中国戏剧发展过程的影响问题。梵剧对中国戏剧发展存在＂点点滴滴＂的影响已经是公认的事实,但是其中的影响、接受或变形等因素目前尚未得到具体而系统的分析和总结。本文通过对傀儡戏等戏剧造型艺术,对歌、舞、音乐等戏剧要素,以及戏剧叙事文体（剧本）等问题的系统考证,从宏观到微观层面对梵剧对中国戏剧发展的影响问题进行探讨和阐发。     

金代戏剧形态研究——兼考《辍耕录》“院本名目”

许多研究者认为,金代只有院本。检阅《四库全书》中金代文集、《金文最》、《金文雅》及《全金元词》等文献,可知金代有三种戏剧形态,即金院本(杂剧)、刮鼓戏、乐舞戏。金代杂剧的产生、繁荣以及衰落的过程,与金代历史、文化以及文学的发展过程正好同步。金代杂剧的兴盛离不开辽代教坊散乐和北宋杂剧。根据表演对象、场所,金代杂剧可分宫廷杂剧、民间杂剧,即燕京宫廷杂剧、河东杂剧,金代杂剧在金世宗、金章宗时期达到了其繁荣时期,这是所谓“国朝杂剧”时期,到了金代末期,随着政局的危亡,杂剧也就衰落了。陶宗仪《辍耕录》“院本名目”中600种院本属于金代,而其余分别属于宋、辽、元。金代杂剧同宋杂剧相比,具有自己的意趣指归：虽然不脱谑浪调笑的风范,但题材范围比“官本杂剧段数”广,历史故事类题材比重加大。刮鼓社来源于北宋的“斗鼓社”,是北宋时代中原地区存在的一种村社小戏,金灭北宋,这种村社小戏就继续存在,并且受到了重阳子王喆的重视。金代歌舞戏与当时的祭祀娱乐神灵的风俗密不可分。     

通俗与先锋孪生 批判与冥想交织——《雷雨》戏剧形态的丰富性

《雷雨》是中国现代话剧走向成熟的标志。它之成为经典,其中一个重要因素在于其戏剧形态的丰富性。既具备通俗剧的诸多要素,又是一个深刻的社会问题剧和带有较强的探索性的先锋剧。通俗剧层面,为该剧提供了"看点";问题剧层面,使该剧具备了现实"批判"的功能;先锋剧层面,则使该剧带有某种形而上"冥想"性质。三个层面交织在一起,共同营造了《雷雨》具有宏阔幽邃景深的戏剧世界。     

论日本戏剧对田汉的影响

田汉的戏剧创作、戏剧理论和所从事的戏剧运动,都有日本戏剧及文艺思潮的重要影响。田汉的戏剧形式得益于秋田雨雀、菊池宽等剧作家。田汉所推崇的"新浪漫主义"戏剧理论则源于厨川白村,表现了"灵的极致"与"人类之爱"。田汉所从事的戏剧运动,则受到了坪内逍遥领导的文艺协会的影响。
