劳动·城乡·认同:台湾“后新电影”中的地方性空间

Labor,City and Countryside,and Identity:Local Space in Taiwan's “Post-new Cinema”

经济全球化时代,由于都市的不断扩张,城市与乡村之间的界线朝向乡村靠拢。台湾的都市发展也不再像"亚洲四小龙"时期那样充满生机,能够提供更多的资源来促使人们往城市移动、生存。在台湾"后新电影"剧情中受挫、离开城市的主角们始终处于一种被动的状态,他们面对着城市扩张的状态,不得不以"失败者"的面目重返故乡,进而试图探寻重新认识故乡和都市的方式。在空间和叙事的表现上,"后新电影"逐步地尝试重构城乡关系,以及劳动者、居民与地方空间的社会关系,在这一层次上正视迫使电影中主角离开城市返回家乡的原因以及主角返乡后的后续发展,同时对影片中大量出现的地方空间所蕴含的目标及意义进行自我阐释。

As a result of the constant expansion of cities in the era of economic globalization, theboundary line between urban and rural areas has been drawn close to the latter. Urban developmentin Taiwan is not longer as vibrant as it once was in the time of 11 Asian tigers^ when more resourcescould be supplied for people to move to and survive in cities. Those protagonists in the stories of Tai-wan ^ s upost-new cinema^ who suffered a setback and left cities are always in a passive state; in theface of urban expansion, they have to go back to their hometown in an attempt to explore a new wayof understanding home and city. In spacial and narrative presentation, upost-new^ films try to reconstructurban-rural relationship as well as social relations between laborer, residents and localspace step by step, facing up to the reasons that force those protagonists to leave cities for homelandand their later development there and meanwhile interpreting the goals and meanings implied by localspace that often appears in the film.
