当代空间的迷失与重绘:以《碟中谍》为中心

Lost in and Remapping of Contemporary Space:Centered on Mission:Impossible

当代空间已越出日常生活领域,进入人类经济生产活动、政治权力统治和文化审美诉求之中,成为当代生活的主题。电影空间不仅参与当代空间的生产,也是当代空间的重要组成部分。《碟中谍》系列电影的空间表现主要有三个方面,即同质化的空间呈现、虚拟化的空间制造和符号化的空间抽象,从而使其空间成为高度符号化的能指,兼有现实主义和视觉奇观的双面特质,为我们考察当代空间的特征和性质提供了典型的镜像视角。置身于集物理、精神、心理、身体、符号于一体的当代多重空间中,如何从整体上去把握空间以及在其中确定自己的位置,不仅是一个生存问题,也是一种经济规划和政治制度,还是一种文化活动和审美意识。

Contemporary space,an important theme of contemporary life,is recognized in the realm of economic production,political power,cultural activities and aesthetic appeal far more than the realm of daily life.Film space is not only involved in the production of contemporary space,but also an important part of it.There are three main aspects of space expression in Mission:Impossible series(MIs):homogeneous spatial presentation,virtual space making and symbolic space abstraction.In this sense,the film space in MIs is a highly symbolic signifier and qualified with characteristics of both realism and visual wonders,thus providing a typical lens to inquire into the features and nature of contemporary space.Placed in the multifaceted contemporary space integrating material,spiritual,psychological,bodily and semiotic dimensions,we are faced with the challenge of how to holistically understand it and assure our own proper positions in it,which is not simply an issue of existence,but also an issue of economic planning,political system,cultural activities and aesthetic awareness.
