不在场的他者——从存在主义角度分析等待戈多_毕业论文(编辑修改稿)内容摘要：

ttentive discussion of ways in which a text can simultaneously establish and undermine its own truth. Among them, there are few conspicuous works from the feminism aspect. Several pieces of feminist approach to Waiting for Godot could be found in Women in Beckett: Performance and Critical Perspectives which was edited by Linda BenZui. The studies of Waiting for Godot and Samuel Beckett’s work have a very short history in China. Theatre of the absurd as well as Waiting for Godot was introduced to China by translators and critics. Waiting for Godot was first translated by Shi Xianrong in 1965. But it was simply used as an example to criticize decayed life value of western capitalism at that time because of the influence from Cultural Revolution in China. So it’s really hard to spread the theatre of the absurd and Waiting for Godot in china widely at that time. Zhu Hong who wrote the Preface of this book said that Waiting for Godot tries to express the life condition of human being, the crisis of spirit and the decadency of the bourgeoisie. In 1980, Shi Xianrong translated The Anthology of the Theatre of Absurd. This book gives us an overall introduction to the works of absurdist. Zhang Hongsheng assumed that Waiting for Godot was an interpretation of existentialism in his paper On the Theatre of the Absurd. But Cheng Ge was strongly against that Waiting for Godot can not be interpreted as the illustration of existentialism simply and hastily, moreover, there are great disparities between absurd and existential drama. From mid 1980s, the scholars of china began to draw attention to the theatre of the absurd .And they started to criticize Waiting for Godot objectively, however, most of the studies are just translation and the achievements of the foreign studies, only a few of them are original and initiative. Anyway some creative papers and books have worked out. Among these works, most of them are derived from some journals and books, such as Foreign Literature, Foreign Literature Review, Foreign Literature Study and other papers. And during this period, the collections of the Theatre of the Absurd were first published by Shanghai Translation Publishing House. Some thematic and linguistic interpretations had been flourishing from 1994 to 2020. And there are lots of remarkable papers and books on Waiting for Godot. Such as On the Art of Beckett’s Absurd Theatre by Cao Bo: Waiting for Godot: the Disillusion and Reestablishment of Belief by Xiao Sixin。 The Linguistic Features in Waiting for Godot by Shu Xiaomei。 On Waiting in Waiting for Godot by Wang Shanshan and so on. The development of Chinese drama was obviously influenced by the theatre of absurd and Waiting for Godot deeply and profoundly. Play writers such as Gao Xingjian who has great acplishment on literature and he also is a tremendous master of a foreign language became interesting in the theatre of absurd and absorb from this kind of drama. They introduced the theatre of absurd by translation, performance and etc. But the theatre of the absurd was not easily spread in China. So we are not surprise that the performance of Waiting for Godot presented by Gao Xingjian in 1970s couldn’t catch people’s eyes. And in 1983, Gao Xingjian wrote The Bus Stop which was inspired by Waiting for Godot, and then The Bus Stop was performed in Beijing People’s Art Theater for several times. The story raised heated discussion among the audience and critics after the performance and Waiting for Godot became more and more wellknown in China. And in 1990s, Waiting for Godot, directed by Men Jinghui, was officially acted on the stage at last. It was still not easy for the audiences to totally understand the meanings of the play at that time. However Waiting for Godot had a great influence on Chinese drama. A new kind of drama which was named as Avantgarde Theatre appeared in China under the influence of the theatre of the absurd especially Waiting for Godot. And Gao Xingjian became the representative of Avantgarde Theatre. His ideal of total Theatre expanded the performance space and enriched the variety of Chinese drama. Uniqueness of the Study Someone once asked Samuel Beckett the precise meaning of waiting in Waiting for Godot, he answered if only he knew. It proved why his work aroused so many ments. We can research Waiting for Godot from different angles, as we can see the author gives us huge spaces to express our own understandings. From the abovementioned literature reviews home and abroad, this paper will focus on the following topics: the absurdity of the play。 the meanings of waiting in Waiting for Godot。 the relationship between the play and existentialism。 the massage from the play to human being. From different aspects, we can find out that it is too difficult to find the meaning of life. And we fall into the lost of self pursuit and the absurd life. Our lives are ballons, though we have no ideas what we want, we can’t help blowing the ballons constantly till the ballons can’t stand any more. Waiting might be a gleam of hope, but might be nothingness. And what we should do to make the life meaningful? Therefore, considerations, choices, actions play the important roles for self existence and selffulfillment. And humanity and individualism would be the eternal topic. And we should say that there too many studies on Waiting for Godot, definitely most of them are meaningful, however, they are insufficient. And the further work is needed to make the studies more prehensive and plete. Hopefully this paper would be a part of the plement of the studies on Waiting for Godot. 3. Theoretical Framework While doing my argument, I will employ some relevant theories about the Theatre of the Absurd and existentialism. This paper focuses on the analysis of the meaning of waiting, the absurdi。
