影像时代的“语—图”叙事及其审美指向

The"Language-Image"Narrative and the Aesthetic Direction in the Image Times

语言与图像的关系问题是一个传统问题也是一个现实问题,影像时代的到来使得两者的关系渐趋复杂,影像时代图像叙事凌驾于语言叙事之上仿佛成为一种共识,由之引发的情绪化判断不绝于耳。图像兴盛的视觉迷相和语胜于图的传统观念造成了一系列误读,然而由于图像叙事自身表意的局限,特别是其自身叙事的不完整性,叙事形式的浅表化与泛化倾向,以及由之带来的钝化的接受模式和惰性的接受意识,使得图像叙事不可能取语言叙事而代之。影像时代语言叙事、图像叙事乃至声音叙事之间的弥合和互补将成为常态,而语言叙事和图像叙事之间二元对立状态的消解和互融的一体化趋势才是影像时代语图关系的真正选择。

The relationship between language and image is both a traditional and real problem, which becomes more and more complicated gradually with the arrival of the image times. It seems to have become a common view that image narrative overrides language narrative, which causes many emotional judgments. The illusion of the predominance of image and the rigid conception that language traditionally overrides image lead to misunderstandings. However, due to the inborn ideographic defects of image narrative, especially its own imperfection, superficial narrative forms and generalization tendency, as well as its passive acceptance model and inert acceptance consciousness, it will not replace language narrative. The combination of language narrative, image narrative and sound narrative in the image times will become a normal phenomenon. The deconstruction of the binary opposition between image and language narrative and their mutual integration are the real choice for the ＂Language-Image＂ narrative in our image times.
