“东方奇观”背后的文化消费政治

Cultural Consumption Politics behind "Oriental Wonder"

张艺谋在雅典奥运会闭幕式上导演的“北京8分钟”的文艺表演,展现出东方奇观的影像文化背后蕴涵的文化消费政治。这说明了以西方中心主义为话语机制的东方主义和消费主义意识形态,在20世纪90年代以来中国社会文化变迁中的渗透,以及由此带来的后殖民语境下自我文化阐释的焦虑。

Performance of “8 Minutes in Beijing” in the closing ceremony of Athens Olympic Games directed by Zhang Yimou shows the cultural consumption Politics contained in the image culture of oriental wonder. This reflects the permeation of orientalism and consumerism with the discourse mechanism of western centralism in the change of Chinese social culture since the 1990s and the anxiety of cultural interpretation in the context of post-colonization.
