田本相、孫惠柱和熊源偉三位先生呼吁當代中國戲劇的"文學性",并批評了其"劇場性"追求。這一觀點值得商榷。西方現代戲劇拒絕"文學"有其深刻緣由,"反文學"背后有其獨特的文化意義和實踐價值。"后戲劇"時代劇場文本呈現出新的特征,而羅蘭·巴爾特理論,則提供了一種新的視角:無論文學還是劇場手段,都應該突破范式,追求"新穎性"。西方劇場中"文學"的拋棄和重建對當代中國戲劇實踐有啟發意義。

Tian Benxiang,William Sun and Xiong Yuanwei appealed for "literariness " in contemporary theatre by criticizing the abuse of"theatricality". But that opinion is questionable.There was a profound reason for the modern western theatre to discard "literature ", with particular purpose for cultural rebellion and theatrical practice. In the post-dramatic era,texts in theatre bear new characteristics. Barthes ’ idea of literature suggests a new perspective: both"literariness"and "theatricality"should break out of their own patterns. The disclaiming and reclaiming of"literariness"in modern western theater may provide some inspirations to Chinese contemporary theatre.
