----- 木偶作为一种文化历史现象:关于木偶社会和文化历史的初步研究
This study owes its inception to the realisation that previous academic consideration of puppet theatre and its history has been deficient in terms of genuine theoretical reflection both on method and subject. On the basis of a rigorous historical examination of existing puppet-theatre historiography, the study proposes relinquishing the purely historical approach in favour of a »Social and Cultural History«. Consideration is given to the historical reasons for the elevation of the puppet theatre to the status of art in the 19th and 20th centuries. Approaching the question from the point of view of the historical development undergone by key concepts connected with 'puppet theatre', the author examines adaptations of various forms of puppet theatre in different historical and aesthetic contexts.
