In the early 20th century, world literature went through transgression and rebirth in the processes of translation, distribution and reproduction enabled by more convenient transportation and more sophisticated printing technologies. As translation and reproduction are not one-way processes of passive acceptance, source texts were recreated for the target contexts, demonstrating brand new vitality.
In the modern era, Chinese audience was introduced to large amounts of European literary works translated from their Japanese versions, which were presented in various forms such as books, plays and films. Some popular literary works themed on family or love struck so strong a responsive chord in the hearts of Chinese audience that they were adapted for local operas, and can still be seen in theaters even today.
In this talk, the speaker will focus on the legendary transgression and rebirth of a best-selling novel from the Victorian era, and try to elaborate on its journey of evolvement in different texts and motion pictures.
20世纪初，在交通、印刷技术的推动下，世界文学在翻译、流通、生产的过程中经历了越境与重生。这种翻译、再生产的过程并非单向的、被动的接收，文本在接收语境中脱胎换骨，焕发出新的生命力。
在近代，大量欧洲文学作品经过日语的转译进入中国，在翻译小说的形式之外，借助新剧、电影等媒体手段广为传播。其中，有若干以家庭、爱情为主题的通俗文学作品获得读者、观众的普遍共鸣，最终为地方戏吸收，上演至今。
