“复调想象”:儿童形象的想象性建构及其反思

“Polyphonic Imagination”: Imaginative Construction of the Images of Child and Its Reflection

"儿童"这一主题并非自古有之,"儿童"是被发现的存在。随着儿童的发现、儿童的诞生,"儿童是什么样的人"成为人们探讨的核心主题。儿童形象通过学术—思想性文本、儿童文学—影视作品、网络传媒等媒介得以生产、消费与再生产。然而,这些媒介所描述、规定、呈现的热闹纷繁的儿童形象实非对儿童本体的认知,而是一种"复调式"的想象性建构。这种建构背后或是因为时代的需要,或是出自人们深层的审美寄托,或是为了满足普通大众的消费、娱乐等需要而使儿童成为名副其实的"他者"。

＂Child＂ is not be there from ancient times but be found. With the discovery of the child and the birth of children, ＂what being of childran＂ becomes a central theme for people to explore. The images of child through academic - ideological texts, children＇s literature - video works, network media and other media have been produced, consumed and reproduced. However, these numerous lively images described, regulated and presented by media are not the real fact of child, but a ＂polyphonic＂ imaginary construction. Behind this is the reason of the need of the times, or a deep desire of people, or to satisfy public＇s consumption and entertainment. All of these leave child to be a veritable ＂othemess＂.
