论旅行电影中西方游客在印度的自我改变--以《穿越大吉岭》和《涉外大饭店》为例

On Self-transformation of Western Tourists in India-themed Travel Films--A Case Study of The Darjeeling Limited and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

基于叙述分析的方式,以《穿越大吉岭》和《涉外大饭店》两部有关印度的西方旅行电影为研究对象,探讨现代化过程中的印度和印度人对西方游客的影响。与二十世纪有关印度的西方电影的"他者"视角不同,在以当代印度为背景的西方旅行电影中,印度提供给西方游客自我改变的契机。

Based on the narrative analysis,this paper takes The Darjeeling Limited and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,two India-themed western travel films,as the objects to explore the influence on western tourists from Indian and India in the modernization process.Unlike the former "otherness" angle of twentieth-century India-themed western films in the contemporary context,India is shown as an opportunity for self-transformation for Western tourists.
