金融危机中美国电影对国家形象的呈现与建构

The Presentation and Construction of National Image of American Movies in Financial Crisis

"国家形象"既是国家现实的表征,也是影像符号建构的结果,它具有功利性与可塑性双重特征。当国家形象遭遇现实挑战时,它更需在虚拟的艺术世界进行呈现、解释与想象性解决。本文通过对金融危机中具有明显症候性的美国电影进行文本阅读,分析出它们共同的特征,即在影像话语形式上用呈现与遮蔽的双重框架完成了对金融危机根源的解释以及想象性解决,在影像话语核心里用神话的一再征用完成了对金融危机中国家形象的修补与建构。

The national image is not only a representation of national reality, but also the construction of film symbol which has the dual characteristics of utilitarian and plasticity. When the national image is confronted with the challenge of reality, it would seek more chances to solve in the virtual art world. The essay wants to give an analysis on these characteristics in common through the textual reading of the typical American movie in this financial crisis. The salience of these cinemas is using the conflicting framework which means the presentation and shield of the truth to provide the reason of the financial crisis and imaginary solution. Furthermore, these discourses utilize the myth repeatedly to repair and construct national image.
