亚洲电影理论：世界电影与亚洲电影

Theorising Asian Cinema: The World and Asian Cinema

本文试图对“亚洲电影”概念的合理性以及“亚洲电影”作为一种电影理论范式的重要性进行全面辩护。就其本质而言,“亚洲电影”既不能被个别重要国家的电影所代表,也不能被单纯地视为“世界电影”的一部分。相反,亚洲电影理论能够成为对抗西方电影中心论以及国别电影狭隘性的新型范式,它兼具本土性和跨文化性双重特征,能够从多元政治、语言、文化中梳理出一种“亚洲性”的电影经验品质,从而为“亚洲电影”作为一种严肃且可靠的学术概念奠定了前提。

The paper aims to justify the suitability of the concept"Asian Cinema"and the importance of"Asian Cinema"as an academic paradigm of film theory.In essence,"Asian Cinema"can neither be represented by the cinema of the major countries nor simply considered as part of"World Cinema".On the contrary,Asian film theory can become a new paradigm against western-centric one as well as the nativist of National Cinema.Focus on both the local and transcultural quality,one can sum up a film experience quality of Asianness in multiple politics,cultures and languages of inter-Asian level,which allows"Asian Cinema"as a credible and serious scholarly concept.
