论明代戏曲话语地位的历史变迁

由于朱元璋的文化高压政策和经义的话语霸权,戏曲在明初处于边缘化的境地,戏曲创作也出现了严重危机。明代众多的知识分子为提升戏曲的话语地位,在采取种种行之有效的宣传策略的同时,也以积极的姿态从事戏曲的创作与传播,使得作为边缘文体的戏曲逐步向中心文体发展演进。但由于旧有的文体尊卑观念根深蒂固的影响和戏曲自身的文体特征,及其所依托的文化语境决定它最终只能作为非主流文体中的主流话语形式而存在,尚不能从根本上撼动以诗文为主导的传统文学格局。

The Historic Changes in Speak Power of the Ming Dramas

Because of the high pressure policy in culture and speak power owned by Confucian classics argumentation, the drama becomes the marginal literature and the drama creation is in a critical situation. To gain the speak status of dramas, many men of letters take different tactics of propaganda and engage in creation with strong emotion, making the Ming dramas change towards the development of the centre literature. However, the traditional concepts, the stylistic characteristics of dramas and cultural context make it exist as non-main trend of literature which cannot shake the traditional literature structure.
