论电影叙述的时间向度及体裁关联

Time Dimension of Film Narrative and Its Relevance to Genre

文本的时间向度是影响叙述体裁风格和文本意义的一个重要因素。现代媒介技术的不断推进使时间因素被压缩变形,进而作用在体裁风格上。受时间向度与媒介技术影响较为显著的是电影,它在记录类体裁与演示类体裁两者间游移,或趋同于一端。不论呈现出何种运动趋势,时间向度与媒介技术二者始终会共同作用于体裁的特征,而体裁特征又反过来说明时间指向性的变化与媒介的属性作用。由此,本文将先从电影叙述文本的时间向度出发,来考察时间-媒介技术对电影体裁特征的影响作用。

The dimension of time in narrative text is an important factor that can influence the style and meaning of narration. The advancement of media technology today has resulted in the compression of time, which affects the genre and style of nearly all types of narration. Film is particularly affected, as its genre can change between the end of the performance and the recording of the narrative, and the end result may be something entirely different. No matter how the genre of film changes, the dimensions of time and media technology will always jointly affect the features of its genre. However, the genre can also effect changes in temporal direction and the specific function of media in film narratives. Hence, this paper analyses the impacts of time and media technology on the genre of film narratives.
