城市生活本身何以是艺术?——以第六代导演的城市电影为聚焦

How Can Urban Life be an Art?——Focusing on the City Film Directed by the“Sixth Generation”

现代城市生活进入艺术话语体系,是现代性社会的典型特征。它诞生于19世纪60年代,在那时,现实主义艺术、现代传媒与现代城市生活近乎同步兴起。这可以城市生活电影为例,它以日常生活为表现内容的现代性幻境可以分为“拟象”和“兴象”两个层面,前者侧重纪实性特征,是启蒙现代性的“真”之显现;后者偏向艺术化表达,是审美现代性的“美”之凝练。日常生活变成艺术的关键在于“拟象”层面,它具有明显的居间意义。解析第六代导演的城市生活电影,必须牢牢把握文本的拟象层面,努力抵达文本的兴象层面。

The entry of modern urban life into the artistic discourse is a typical feature of modern society.It began in the 1860s,when realistic art,modern media and modern urban life took place almost synchronously.This can be exemplified by the film of urban life.The fantasy of modernity in city film can be divided into two levels:the“counterfeit”and“Xingxiang”(the ideal artistic realm).The counterfeit focuses on the characteristics of documentary,which is the manifestation of the“truth”of Enlightenment;The“Xingxiang”tends to artistic expression,which is the refinement of“beauty”of aesthetic modernity.The key to turning daily life into art lies in the level of u counterfeitn,which has obvious intermediary significance.To analyze the city films of the“sixth generation directors”,we must firmly grasp the counterfeit level of the text and strive to reach the Xingxiang level of the text.
