作为媒介考古学的新电影史

The new film history as media archaeology

本文评估了数字技术如何影响了我们对电影史的理解。"新电影史"(New Film History)虽然复兴了对电影"起源"(origins)的研究,但尚未证明这种分析在随后世纪之交的多媒体节点同样有效。面对这样的挑战,本文将借助于"媒介考古学"(Media Archaeology)这样一个新的历史学模型来超越"旧"媒介与"新"媒介的对立,克服当代媒介实践的不稳定形态。我们需要重新测定视听经验的范围,澄清具身性(embodiment)、界面、叙述、叙事引导(diegesis)等概念,并为视听装置的非娱乐性研究提供新的动力。

The paper asses the impact of digital technologies on our understanding of film history.While the"New Film History"has revitalized the study of the cinema's"origins",it has not been proved that this analysis is equal-ly effective in mutimedia nodes at the turn of the next century.Faced with the challenge,the paper will tran-scend the opposition between the"old"media and the"new"media and overcome the unstable form of con-temporary media practice with the help of a new historical model,Media Archaeology.We need to reexamine the scope of audio-visual experience,clarify the concepts of embodiment,interface,narration and diegesis,and provide new impulses for non entertainment research of audio-visual devices.
