論文分三章展開：第一章回顧連環畫發展與《連環畫報》編輯出版策略；第二章分析其從「紅色主旋律」向日常關懷與個體敘事轉變的內容創新；第三章則探討西方漫畫技法的本土化轉譯。研究認為，《連環畫報》在此時期既為文藝政策多重變動的產物，亦為理解1980年代中國大眾傳媒與意識形態互動提供了新視角。 ;This study examines the transformations and innovations of Lianhuanhua Bao (Comic Pictorial) from 1980 to 1985, exploring how this prominent Chinese illustrated periodical navigated the tension between cultural diversification brought by the Reform and Opening-Up policy and stringent ideological control through editorial autonomy and innovative graphic strategies. Past scholarship has predominantly focused on the publication prior to its suspension in 1960, overlooking significant changes in its post-reform content, artistic approaches, and their relationship with the political and social environment. Based on archival materials, including 72 issues of Lianhuanhua Bao held by university libraries in Mainland China and Taiwan, supplemented by contemporary policy documents, this research employs historical textual analysis, visual narrative interpretation, and institutional historical approaches. It systematically examines thematic and narrative shifts ("discourse") alongside compositional techniques and artistic languages ("iconics"), to reconstruct the magazine’s struggle and adaptation in a period of dramatic transformation.
This thesis is organized into three chapters: the first reviews the historical development and editorial strategies of Lianhuanhua Bao; the second analyzes shifts from revolutionary narratives toward everyday concerns and individual stories; the third investigates the local adaptation of Western comic techniques. The findings reveal that during the early years of Reform and Opening-Up, Lianhuanhua Bao served not only as a product of shifting cultural policies but also as a crucial lens for understanding the interactions between mass media and ideological discourse in 1980s China.
