《自私的基因》(一九七六)一书首次提出“模因”一说,定义为“文化传播、或模仿的单位”。本文探索莎士比亚戏剧作为同文化及跨文化模因传播的场域,尤其以他受到改编最多的剧作《仲夏夜之梦》为例,并分析多个受到评论家赞誉的改编。 For the first time, the book “Selfish Genes” (1976) proposed “memes,” which is defined as “the unit of cultural transmission or imitation.” This article explores Shakespeare’s drama as a venue for cultural and intercultural memes, and in particular his most adapted play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as an example, and analyzes several adaptations critiqued by critics.
