520 $a The dissertation investigates the reception of Bertolt Brecht in the People's Republic of China from 1955 to 1987 in the context of changing ideologies and political concerns. This reception not only reflects some important socio-economic and cultural changes in China, it also played an influential role in them.
520 $a Chapter One introduces the literary, dramatic and political background against which the reception of Brecht before the Cultural Revolution developed. The following two chapters chronicle the first phase of that reception in which Brecht is seen as a dogmatic Marxist writer. His biography is used to strengthen the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party and the characters of Mother Courage and Galileo are interpreted as exemplifying the prescribed positive character and class struggle. Chapter Four presents the leading Chinese theater director Huang Zuolin, who used Brecht's theater in an attempt to break the dominance of the Stanislavsky school over the Chinese stage.
520 $a Chapter Six treats the forces that shaped the reception of The Life of Galileo, among them de-Maoization and the notions of positive and heroic character before and after the Cultural Revolution. Chapter Seven traces the continued promotion of Brechtian theater after the Cultural Revolution by Huang and other Chinese theater workers and their contribution to the best period of modern Chinese theater.
520 $a Chapter Nine presents the debate between traditionalists and reformists on the development of a theater of reason. This debate brought up for scrutiny the age-old relationship in Chinese literature between reason and emotion. Brecht's emphasis on reason offered the Chinese a new perspective. This issue is further elaborated in the Conclusion which contends that traditional Chinese literature which emphasized emotional effects rather than rational processes was part of a culture that stifled the development of individualistic and democratic consciousness. The Conclusion argues that Brechtian theater, based on the values of individualism and democracy, has the capacity to disrupt traditional ways of thinking and to help the Chinese cultivate an analytical and critical attitude toward political and cultural issues and thereby to contribute to the development of individualistic and democratic consciousness.
