少数民族影像中的“他者”呈现——略论潘年英的中国西南摄影

The “ Others ” in the Photographing of Ethnic Groups ——A Brief Discussion of the Photographing of South and West China by Pan Nianying

人类学是通过研究人类的文化来理解"人"的综合性学科,影像是当代民族艺术表达和日常生活中广泛应用的传播符号,随着"图文对话"时代的到来,照片的保存在人类学民族志中是非常重要的原始资料。本土谱系和西学源流为我们从人类学角度讨论少数民族影像的叙事伦理提供了理论支撑。潘年英的人类学影像全面展示了西南少数民族的自然生态环境、精神面貌和日常生活面貌,并将其与文字记录相结合,可以说为中国少数民族留下了一份可信度高的视觉材料与调查报告,具有艺术与人类学的双重价值。文章以潘年英作品中的少数民族影像为例,来说明人类学影像是如何呈现"他者"。

Anthropology that studies human culture to understand human beings is multidis- ciplinary. Photo as a communication tool is widely used in recording national arts and daily life. Photo storage becomes important source materials for the Anthropological ethnography in the times of visualized image. Related theoretical backgrounds from China and the west provide us with new perspective to discuss the narrative ethics in the photographing of minority groups in south and west China. Anthropological photographing by Pan Yingnian fully displays natural ecological environment, spiritual outlook of people and their daily life in the south and west China. Notes are also added to the photographs. The photographs combined with the notes have artistic value and anthropological value for they are visual materials and investigation reports with high credibility about minority groups of China. This paper will,taking the photographs a- bout the minority groups in south and west China by Pan Yingnian as an example,illustrate how the anthropological photographing represents the＂others＂.
