论后现代语境中电影叙事的先锋困境

The Narrative Dilemma of the Avant-garde In the Postmodern Context

后现代主义如同一枚硬币,一面坚强地烙印着媚俗艺术的气息,一面却以前卫的姿态留驻了先锋的锐利。与现代主义的极端“自律”分裂后,先锋在挑战现代艺术体制上与后现代相契合。但是在叙事姿态、叙事资源、叙事策略等各方面,大众艺术与先锋的距离越来越模糊。本文主要以当代电影为例证,分析艺术在当下后现代语境中的先锋悖论。

Postmodernism,like a coin,is imprinted with the mould on one side,still smelling fresh the vulgar arts,and the sharpness of the avant-garde on the other. After breaking away from the absolutely self-centered discourses of the modernists,the avant-gardes grouped themselves with the postmodernists,especially through their shared defy of modernism. However,the distinctions between the popular arts and avant-garde have become more and more blurred in terms of their narrative modes,resources and strategies. This essay,with the contemporary films as its focus,offers a study on the seamless and argumentative approaches of the avant-garde.
