从舞蹈叙事看《探戈课》性别权力关系的建构

Tango in a Men's World—on Construction of Gender Power Dynamics in The Tango Lesson

《探戈课》是著名英国女性主义导演莎莉.波特自编自导自演的作品。影片讲述了发生在女性电影编剧和男性探戈舞者之间的爱情故事。本文试图从电影视觉层面的美学出发,分析舞蹈叙事中的身体权力关系、影像手段所建构的多重权力交叉,并进而探讨莎莉.波特对影像化的性别权力关系提供的女性主义新思考。

The Tango Lesson, a romance by the well-known British feminist and film director Sally Potter, is basically a story between a woman screenplay writer and a man tango dancer. The paper attempts to look at it from a feminist viewpoint by analyzing its cinematic devices at different levels, namely, empowered body in dancing, cinematographic construction of ＂looking＂ and audio power of sound and music. On the basis of the systemic analysis comes an observation of Sally Potter＇s elaboration of video-audio construction of gender power dynamics.
