国家会客厅影像式在场:作为批评工具的国家形象和纪录片效果

Screenage as National “Living Room”:National Image and Documentary Functioning as a Critical Paradigm

在现代家庭中,会客厅是展示家庭形象的重要空间,而纪录片则通过对现实进行创造性处理,呈现多种维度的民族国家形象,在世界交往中扮演着国家会客厅角色。纪录片与全体国民共同创造的国家形象存在同构性,它们既具有物质层面的自在性,又具有精神层面的想象性。"国家形象"用作一种影像批评工具,能够重新阐释各类纪录片的社会价值,因而纪录片俨然成了国家会客厅的影像式在场,通过在影像空间与现实社会之间摆渡、互动、平衡,形塑了国际交流感知状态。纪录片需要不断回归复杂的社会与现实的人,从而促使这种影像交流空间的形象叙述更加地客观和可信,需要与影像的其他类别功能形成有效对话,以带动国家会客厅影像式在场的多样和完善。

As a result, documentaries can function as the national ＂living room＂, the international exchange of perception is thus shaped through the ferry,interaction and balance between the image space and the reality of society. Documentaries need incessantly to be brought back to the complicated social and real people, to make the image of the space of the national ＂living room＂ more objective and credible. It is necessary to form an effective dialogue with other functions of the images to promote the diversity and perfection of the national ＂living room＂
