京剧被命名和建构成“国粹”,肇始于大清帝国自诩的天下中心在洋枪火炮中被炸毁的历史性时刻,也是现代性在中国发生的时期。《霸王别姬》原先只是作为一部迟至民国以后才出现的京剧“国粹”剧目,但其主题承载的民族国家“自我理想”的“从一而终”,却深深影响了以“霸王别姬”为历史母题的现代文学作品在20世纪的不断改编和传播。《霸王别姬》参与了百年以来民族国家话语和个人话语的交锋和协商,而且大多数的改编作品往往到最后都是前者的话语霸权压倒了后者的声音。但发展到20世纪末李碧华和陈凯歌的《霸王别姬》,这两者之间的话语建构有了重新的博弈和颉颃的可能。民族国家男性建构转向中的自恋和残余的依恋机制,在这里微妙发挥了不可小觑的作用。而且这种博弈还多了一层李碧华原著小说的“女性自恋”和陈凯歌电影“男性依恋”的拉锯。本文细辨原著小说(三个不同版本)和电影的异同,并指出这两种文本固守在“去历史化”和“过度历史化”的两个极端姿态之余,如何借“同性爱”说事,最后反而遮蔽了同志四面楚歌的生存窘态。

----LiBihua and ChenKaige’s Adaption for “Farewell My Concubine”
Pecking Opera was named and constructed as the quintessence of Chinese Culture, which ascended to the historical moment when the center of world set up by Qing dynasty was destroyed by foreign guns and cannons, it was also the period of modernity occurred in China. “Farewell My Concubine” would have only been a Pecking Opera repertoire appeared late till the time in Republic of China, however, its subject inherited national “Ego Ideal” faithfully without a second idea, which affected the constant adaption and transmission referred to it as motif deeply during 20th century. “Farewell My Concubine” has taken a position in confrontation and negotiation between national discourse and personal discourse for 100-year, and most adaption works came to the end that the former discourse hegemony overwhelmed the later invoice. With the development of this classic opera adapted by LiBihua and ChenKaige in the end of 20th century, there existed a possibility of new game and match between the two discourses. The narcissism and remnant attachment mechanism in national masculinity played an important role which couldn’t be ignored. Besides, this game generated a “saw” between “female narcissism” in LiBihua’s original novel and “male attachment” in ChenKaige’s film. This paper debates similarities and differences on the original novel (three different versions) and film in detail, meanwhile, it points out this two texts kept to two extremes of “overhead history” and “excessive history”, then how did they resort to “same-sex love” to shelter comrade which was besieged on all sides from embarrassing existence.
