1930年代中国“电影”概念转换的复杂性考察

The Complexity of the Chinese “Film” Concept Transformation in the 1930s

作为电影学学科、话语体系的基石性概念,“电影”的生成与确立表征着中国人电影思想、审美观念现代化的复杂历史进程。1930年代,“电影”逐步摆脱与“影戏”一词混用的状态,但并未成为唯一、合法的概念,“软”“硬”之争和“有声电影”之辩也彰显了国人对“电影”独立性、艺术性的艰难探索。考察20世纪30年代中国“电影”概念的确立,过程远比结果复杂,其间的断裂更加值得注意。

As the cornerstone of the discipline system and the discourse system of cinematography,the generation and establishment of the concept of“film”represents the complex historical process of the modernization of Chinese film thoughts and aesthetic concepts.In the 1930s,“film”gradually got rid of the mixed use of the word“yingxi”,but it did not become a unique,a legal concept.The debate between soft film and hard film and the debate on“talkie”also showed Chinese people’s strenuous exploration of the independence and artistry of the concept of“film”.To investigate the establishment of the concept of“film”in China in the 1930s,the process is much more complicated than the result,and the fracture in the process is more noteworthy.
