摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 本文主要考察从1897年爱尔兰文学剧团成立到1916年复活节起义前夕的爱尔兰戏剧运动的源起、诉求和发展。这场由英爱优势阶层和文化精英领导的戏剧运动一开始即出现矛盾,从“文学剧团宣言”要再现民族身份和教育人民的野心到《胡里痕的凯瑟琳》中对历史记忆和文化符号的含混态度,爱尔兰戏剧运动的领导者叶芝和格雷戈里夫人等一方面想要代表大众表达民族主义诉求,摆脱由英国强加的刻板印象;而另一方面又是文化精英主义诉求,要求艺术自觉,表现欧陆的现代主义,教育人民,提升他们的艺术品味。阿贝剧院集中体现了这种一开始就有的矛盾,对当时和其后的爱尔兰戏剧发展影响深远。

关键词: 爱尔兰戏剧运动, 刻板印象, 英爱优势阶层, 阿贝剧院

Abstract: The Irish Dramatic Movement of the early 20th century was led by W. B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, and other prominent members from the Protestant Ascendancy. While claiming to represent the Irish people, they also sought to educate them to a higher aesthetic standard. Their affiliation with popular nationalism was ambivalent and problematic. This tension between the movement's populist, national appeal and its elite, reformist, ascendancy control manifested itself in various aspects such as productions, castings and performances.

Key words: Irish Dramatic Movement, stereotypes, Anglo-Irish Ascendancy, the Abbey Theater
