《宽忍的灰色黎明》

THE GRAY MORNINGS OF TOLERANCE

著名影评人安德烈·巴赞在《摄影影像的本体论》中提出＂唯有摄影机镜头拍下的客体影像能够满足我们潜意识提出的再现原物的需要＂这一观点。米歇尔·福柯在接受采访时,也有过类似的表达,收录于《反怀旧》一文之中。他说：＂现在,畅销文学已经不够了,还有一些更有效的方式,比如电视和电影。我认为这是一种对大众记忆再编码的方式,大众记忆存在着,但它没有任何可以自我书写的方式。因此,人们不但向这些人展现他们所曾是的样子,而且让他们必须回忆这就是他们所曾是的样子。

AS RENOWNED FILM critic Andr6 Bazin points out in ＂The Ontology of the Photographic Image,＂ ＂Only a photographic lens can give us the kind of image of the object that is capable of satisfy- ing the deep need man has to substitute for it something more than a mere approximation, a kind of decal or transfer.＂ Michel Foucault, in the article ＂And-Retro,＂ similarly pronounces, ＂Nowadays, cheap books are no longer enough. There are much more efficient chan- nels in the form of television and cinema. And I think the whole ef- fort has tended towards a recoding of popular memory which exists but has no way of formally expressing itself. People are shown not what they have been but what they must remember they have been.＂
