对影视艺术真实性问题的文化反思

Cultural Retrospection of Reality of Film and TV

本论文试图对影视艺术(传统意义上的)基本概念之一的真实性问题进行清理。 笔者认为:传统理论把电影和电视这两门艺术的本性定位于为“真实性”乃是基于一个严重的误认。影视艺术究其实质而言,是充满幻真性的艺术。影像幻觉取代真实性的结果,致使真实性成为神话。 在影视作品中,历史剧(片)和纪实剧被认为是同真实性最为相关的品类,它们各自在历史和现实的维度上标榜着自己与众不同的真实性。本文认为,不论是历史剧(片)还是纪实剧,都不等于真实,而是同真实之间的一种想象性关系。正是这种疏离感与间距性,才使得所有的人文意义的实现,主体阐释的达成,直至意识形态的传输成为可能。

Reality, one of the basic concept of the film and television art (in the traditional sense) will be analysed in the thesis. In the arthor's opinion, it is a grave misconception in the traditional theories to posite film and television art wihtin the frame of 'Reality'. Frankly speaking, illusions are essential of film and television art. Reality reduces to myths through the displacement of reality. In the works of film and television,historicals (historical plays and films)and documentaries are the genres with the closest connections to reality. They boost their extraordinary reality in the historical and realistic dimensions. In the thesis, it is argued that, neither the historical nor the documentary equals to reality, their relationship to reality is only imaginary. Owing to the sense of distance and defamiliarizatton, the realization of human significances ,the completion of subjective interpretations and the inculcation of the ideologies become possible.
