记忆的消费与政治——《南京!南京!》与《金陵十三钗》的变奏

本文认为同样是叙述南京大屠杀题材,《南京!南京!》与《金陵十三钗》这两部商业影片呈现了意义丰富的＂变奏＂关系。论文从电影叙事媒介、影片叙述结构与性别秩序、城市空间书写、国族身份的政治修辞、国族叙事的历史符码五个层面,分析两部影片的意识形态内涵。这种关于民族创伤记忆的书写,紧密地联系着当下中国的文化认同,并与国际性的文化市场运作形成了直接的互动关系,由此,文化消费与政治想象、国族叙事与性别秩序、民族主义与跨国认同及西方中心主义等,共同构造了一处暧昧的话语纠结场域。

Centering on the same topic of the Nanking Massacre,two commercial films,City of Life and Death and The Flowers of War,present a rich sense of variation. From the perspectives of medium,structure of film narrative and gender order,city writing,political rhetoric of national identity and historical code of national narrative,this essay analyses the ideological implications of these two films. The narrative of national trauma in these films is closely related to the contemporary cultural identity of China and the international cultural market. Therefore,an ambiguous discursive field comes outas a result of the interaction between cultural consumption and political imagination,together with the relationship between national narrative and gender order,the conversation between nationalism and transnational identity as well as western centrism.
