图像学视野下的中国早期电影——以《小城之春》为例

Early Chinese Movies from the Perspective of Iconology:the Case Study of the Movie Springtime in a Small Town

图像学是西方一种关于视觉文本之主题和内容的分析方法,流行于20世纪。本文以潘诺夫斯基图像学研究为立足点,选取中国早期具有诗化风格的电影《小城之春》(费穆版)为研究对象,从场景、长镜头和符号、格调和内核经验三个层次进行图像阐释,挖掘早期电影中的情感文本、电影图像与中国传统经验之间的潜在联系,旨在以一种新的文化解释的方法切入《小城之春》,促进中国电影史论方面的发展,以及相对弥合从图像到电影基于视觉图式的艺术理论的距离。

Iconology is popular in the 20th century,and it is an analysis method of the theme and content of visual text in the West.Based on Panovsky’s image research,this paper selects the early Chinese poetic film Springtime in a Small Town(Fei Mu Edition)as the research object.It illustrates the image from the three dimensions,namely,scenes,long shots and symbols,style and core experience,digging out the potential links connecting the emotional texts,film images and traditional Chinese experience in early films,so as to put forward a new cultural interpretation method to analyse the Springtime in a Small Town,and also to promote the development of Chinese film history and relatively bridge the distance from images to the art theory of film based on visual schema.
