数据库与在华外国电影人研究(1897—1949)

Databases and the Study on the Foreign Filmmakers and Cinema Operators in China(1897—1949)

借助数字典藏技术,作为西方殖民者、日本侵略者、来华机构团体的在华外国电影人重新进入中国电影史的研究视野并填补了诸多空白。但与此同时,数字化导致的信息流失和变形、检索导致的偏差和遮蔽等都是需要警惕的。从"数字人文"的视角来看,在华外国电影人的研究成果已经改变了一元化的宏大叙事,重构了中国电影史的本体认知,且因其延展性和开放性,有望基于互联网和数字技术,建成开放、动态、共享、共生的知识形态。

The foreign filmmakers and cinema operators before 1949 in China could be identified as the Western colonials,Japanese intruders,and international organizations.Studies on these groups have filled some blanks of Chinese cinema history.But the disappearing and the distorting in the process of digitalization and the deviation when searching of the information should be alerted.From the perspective of Digital Humanities,locating and valuing the foreign filmmakers and cinema operators on the basis of multiple historical materials has made it possible to change the grand narration of history,reconstructed ontology of Chinese cinema history,and could be a knowledge that is open,dynamic and co-sharing on the basis of Internet and digital technology.
