摘要：From 1948 to 2007,the academic community produced about a hundred titles of theses and dissertations on drama and theater,or made use of data from drama and theater for larger spheres of studies. The current article looked into identifying trends and points of emphasis,as the researches and studies progressed through roughly half a century of research production in the academic setting. Inductive in approach and tentative and exploratory in its analysis,the study identified four trends and points of emphasis in research production. In the fifties and sixties,the emphasis was more on studying the play text or drama;studies veered towards a literary reading and orientation. Eventually,this trend gave way to studying the larger phenomenon of mounting, and the mise en scene and the spectator became additional units of concern for research. Studies began to have sections on props,costumes,and staging techniques. In the eighties,a larger concern for looking at theater as social production followed. Participant observation,field work and ethnography gave equal emphasis on the social context of theater. Mar xism and other perspectives from the social sciences framed theater studies then;correlations between theater and society became useful. Towards the last decade of the century,theater studies aimed at a more conceptual approach,emphasizing core concepts like panata and other related or equivalent terms,elevating and defining the study of theater as a study of culture itself. .
