身体表演与拍照的意义生产——社交媒体时代个人影像实践的田野考察

Body Performance and Meaning Production of Photography: A Field Study of Personal Image Practice in Social Media Era

本文通过对碧色寨旅游景区游客拍照行为和实践活动的观察和书写,探讨那些携带着自己的观看框架和生活方式的个人和群体,如何在特定空间创造属于自己的独特意义。本文作者认为,空间性的存在必然会影响人们在其间展开拍照实践的行为。碧色寨的个人影像实践是一种历史和当下的交织,在且具有高象征性的特定空间中,通过对身体的"怀旧"表演,重新召唤和型构对自我、群体理解和想象的方式。这种拍照,是拍摄者与空间的互动和意义生产,是身体背后展示出的"社会特殊习性"。对碧色寨影像实践的考察正是对中国特定社会情境中技术与身体复杂关系进行探讨的某种尝试。尤其是在数码化的时代,人们将各种饱含身体意象的影像频频上传到社交媒体,网络技术与个人身体互动将迎来新的意义。

By observing and writing the photo-taking behaviors and activities of visitors in tourist attraction of Bisezhai, this paper discusses how individuals and groups with their own viewing frames and lifestyles can create their own unique meanings in specific spaces. The author believes that the existence of space will inevitably affect people's behavior of taking photos in the meantime. The personal image practice in Bisezhai is a way to resummon and reconstruct the understanding and imagination of the self and the group through the "nostalgic” performance of the body in a specific space with high symbolic value, which is interwoven between the past and the present. This kind of photography is the interaction and meaning production between the photographer and the space, as well as them "special social habit" displayed behind the body. The investigation of the image practice in Bisezhai is an attempt to explore the complex relationship between technology and body in a specific social context in China. Especially in the digital era, people frequently upload various photos full of body image to social media, and the interaction between network technology and individual body will usher in new significance and value in the image practice of ordinary people.
