面对民族国家记忆：电影“讲什么”与“如何讲”

Facing the Memory of Nation-State, What and How to Speak in Movies

建构民族国家并不限于现实层面的国家政权、制度、组织,同样需要确立起一套促进认同民族国家的政治话语及其主流意识形态,民族国家记忆就具有如此功能。作为记忆共同体,其核心是关于民族国家重大历史事件、政治事件以及社会事件的叙述。电影叙述国家记忆,特别需要微观叙事。正是在微观聚焦之中,爆发出情感力度与复杂的人性内涵,使原本外在于当下的历史事件变成内在的心理事件、情感事件,从而促进了人们对民族国家的认同。

Nation-state is not confined to the construction of state power,system and organization at the realistic level.More importantly,it is necessary to establish a set of political discourse and mainstream ideology to promote the identification of national state.The memory of nation-state becomes another important keyword.As a community of memory,its core is the narration of major historical events,political events and social events of the nation-state.Films narrate national memory,especially needing micro-narrative.The extreme micro-focus erupts emotional strength which makes the historical and outside events originally become internal psychological events and emotional events,thus promoting people's identification with the nation-state.Needless to say,the current Chinese films lack of micro-narrative and inward focus have resulted in the lack of unity,dialectics,narrative forms and other defects.
