To the author, the early reception of Ibsen in China indeed promoted the process of China’s cultural modernity, but it should also be responsible for the misunderstanding and misconstruction of the image of Ibsen as a revolutionary thinker rather than an artist. In current international Ibsen scholarship, "return to Ibsen as an artist" represents the forefront research of Ibsen and his dramatic works. Inspired by the Marxian aesthetic construction of Shakespeareanization and Said’s conception of "traveling theory", the author for the first time creatively puts forward his theoretical construction of "Ibsenization", on the basis of which he is carrying on an equal dialogue with international Ibsen scholarship.展开更多

As the play shares an open ending, many critics seem to try to find a way out for Nora. Nora is supposed as the first woman to pronounce the "Women Declaration of Independence". She has become the most courageous women for fighting an equal place in family. However, this paper focuses mainly on the comparison between Nora and Kristine the relatively less popular character. Kristine plays a role of girlhood friend of Nora as well as the one who solves the debt problem and brings a new problem into Nora's family. She serves a model for Nora. Ibsen writes Nora as she is, but it is Kristine who leads Nora onto the road of finding herself. Through the image of Kristine we can conclude that Nora might have all kinds road to tread before her but each one leads to a home-her true home.展开更多

However, the two heroines in these two plays, Nora Helmer and Lady Macbeth, demonstrate similar feminist qualities. By staging an overall contrastive analysis on the personality and tragic life of two protagonists from the perspective of feminism, it is founded that both of them are victims oppressed by the patriarchal system and they all have feminine consciousness against this system. Nevertheless, their distinctive complex personalities and different story settings make the reasons for their rebellion differ in many ways and they end up with different endings.展开更多

Gender issues in the formation of selfhood and philosophical concepts of behavioural ＂performativity＂ will be examined in the context of China＇s experimentations in projecting new concepts of womanhood and the female self. As a context, I will also outline some of the changes in cultural values and ethical categories in China over the past century, so as to see why the individualist conception of the self has played such a paramount important role in China＇s quest for modernity.展开更多
