美国电影的中国想象:全球文化、动画形式与文化政治

China Image in the US' Films:Global Culture;Cartoon Form and Cultural Politics

西方文化在跨越文化区域向全球传播时,消解他文化的同时又缺乏自身监督,在后发现代性国家的文化疆域上,张扬了肉身欲望、感官刺激与漂浮不定的情感消费,在充满文化异质的同时,更多呈现出负面价值。美国电影以动画看似纯粹娱乐的艺术形式,讲述缺乏理性、道德监督下发现自我的故事,个人主义被推崇到至高的地位,但实质上仍然是在简单、夸张等形式要求的遮蔽下的文化竞争,将他种文化施以改变、重写,进而在根本上偷换了文化概念。西方文化递升为全球文化时需要自我标记,囊括共同人性的同时,更需要"异类"文化的比照,这决定了中国文化传统在美国电影中的变形、陌生与扭曲,带有较强的政治意味。因此,对于后发现代性国家来说,不仅存在经济安全、政治安全,文化安全尤其值得重视。

When western culture is broadcasting globally,it dissolves the local culture while simultaneously is lack of supervision.So in the cultural field of those nations with later-emerged modernity,physical desire,sensory stimuli and floating sentiment consumption are rising.The US' films usually tell those stories which discover oneself in the situation lack of rationality and moral supervision.Therefore,individuality is be evaluated to a supreme status.But actually those films are cultural competition shadowed by simple and exaggerating forms.They change and recreate the culture of others,then fundamentally replaced culture concept.Western culture needs its own identity when ascending into a global one.It tries to summarize common humanity while simultaneously needs the other culture to compare.It decides that Chinese tradition is distorted,deformed,seems strange and is of strong political meanings.There fore,to those nations with lateremerged modernity,like economic and political security,cultural security should be paid much attentions to.
