仪式化立意与表达——中国主流影像文本与负价值的缝合

Conception and Expression of Ritualization:the Suture of Chinese Mainstream Cinema and Negative Values

主流影像文本与正面价值如同一对孪生姐妹,似乎彼此融为一体,不可分割,为此往往形成一种错觉,强调主流影像文本就必须把正面价值放于中心地位,以正面价值的表述作为衡量主流影像文本的重要尺度和砝码。但是,影像文本对价值观念的表述却依照自己的文本逻辑进行,并没有把正价值当成唯一的"标的"。把负价值植入叙事活动,通过叙事缝合,形成故事价值的"负向正"的转换,却是大多数中国主流影像文本所采用的仪式化立意与表达策略。

Mainstream image text and positive values, like twin sisters, seem to be inseparably integrated into each other, which frequently gives rise to an illusion, i.e. positive values should he centered if mainstream image text is to be emphasized, and the expressions of positive values should function as important measurements and criteria of mainstream image text. However, image text reflects values according to its own text logic instead of regarding positive values as its sole criterion. The strategies of ritualization conception and expression for the great majority of Chinese mainstream image texts consist in the implantation of negative values into narration so as to facilitate the ＂shift from negative to positive＂ through narrative sewing-up.
