Our research project which is to investigate the cultural concepts of theatre and drama in early modern and modern English Culture is divided into two parts: the first part consists of establishing some working and analytical principles which will make data processing manageable and rationalized ; the second part proceeding simultaneously consists of historical analysis. The first one is half accomplished only to leave data base construction incomplete (we will further continue this construction by using our classification system). The second one, historical analysis, results in an insight which will cast a definitely new light upon the historical and cultural importance of Shakespeare. The seventeenth-century England witnessed some now concepts of playwrights, concepts which inseparable form theatrical representations, made author-playwrights as well as their theatrical products transcendental authoritative, and independent from social and historical contexts. To our surprise, this ne … More w concept was reflected and produced in a portrait of Shakespeare printed on the front page of his first collection of plays published in 1623. This cultural change was extremely influential and even today's concepts of plays and playwrights are still partially under this seventeenth-century originated concept, In the eighteenth century Shakespearean studies became matured and consolidated, but as our investigation of some special case (the impostor W-H Ireland affair), has significantly shown, this was the historical moment in which forged and fictionalized images of authors were abundantly circulated. Those images, whether purely imaginative or quasi-objective, were an index to some cultural impulse, or basic instinct to shape authors and their products in that culture's socio-historical images. Hugely historical and cultural transformations the twentieth-century drama experienced have brought to light some theatrical and dramatic elements hitherto unrecognized, elements which are profoundly concerned with gender and gender transformation. Politics and poetics of queering performative arts in general are not culturally faddish at all but proper and logical results of those arts which have traditionally accorded cultural privileges upon gender transformation and its unknown possibilities. In this respect, Shakespearean dramas are not exceptional. Less

我们的研究项目是考察近现代英语文化中的戏剧和戏剧的文化观念，分为两个部分：第一部分包括建立一些工作和分析原则，使数据处理变得可管理和合理化；第二部分同时进行历史分析。第一个只完成了一半，只留下了数据库建设的未完成部分(我们将使用我们的分类系统继续这一建设)。第二个是历史分析，其结果是对莎士比亚的历史和文化重要性有了新的认识。17世纪的英国出现了一些剧作家的概念，这些概念与戏剧表现密不可分，使作家-剧作家及其戏剧产品具有超越性、权威性，并独立于社会和历史背景。令我们惊讶的是，这个Ne…莎士比亚1623年出版的第一部戏剧集的头版上印着一幅莎士比亚的肖像，反映并产生了更多的w概念。这种文化变化极具影响力，甚至今天的戏剧和剧作家的概念仍然部分地在这个起源于17世纪的概念下，在18世纪，莎士比亚的研究变得成熟和巩固，但正如我们对一些特殊案件(冒名顶替的W-H爱尔兰事件)的调查所显著表明的那样，这是一个历史时刻，在这个时刻，伪造和虚构的作者形象大量流传。这些图像，无论是纯粹的想象力还是准客观的，都是某种文化冲动的指标，或者是在该文化的社会历史图像中塑造作家及其产品的基本本能。二十世纪戏剧经历了巨大的历史和文化变革，揭示了一些迄今未被认识到的戏剧和戏剧元素，这些元素与性别和性别转变密切相关。一般而言，古怪表演艺术的政治和诗学根本不是文化上的时尚，而是那些传统上赋予性别转变及其未知可能性文化特权的艺术的适当和合乎逻辑的结果。在这方面，莎士比亚戏剧也不例外。较少
