纪实影像中的历史叙事与国家形象建构

Historical Narratives and the Construction of National Images in Documentary Images

在建构“历史底蕴深厚”的国家形象中,兼具纪实与审美双重特性的纪实影像起着重要作用。20世纪的纪实影像以英雄人物、革命事件等为题材进行创作,其历史叙事偏重于记录和政治教育作用。21世纪以来,为实现国际间文化的不断交融,纪实影像在塑造国家形象的路径建构上经历了解码者“他者化”的视角转变、从宏大到微末的历史题材转变、从寻求民族认同到打造文化共同体的历史叙事主旨转变。新时代下,纪实影像应更关注解码者的多元化追求,针对中国历史叙事的方法不断调适,逐步适应解码者的接受心理和接受习惯,依靠新媒体技术实现平台共通,进而构建良好的国家形象,提升中华民族的国际影响力。

Documentary images have played an important role in the construction of a national image with a"deep historical heritage"by combining both documentary and aesthetic characteristics.The 20th century documentary images were created on heroic figures and revolutionary events,with a preference for documentary and political educational roles.Since the 21st century,in order to achieve continuous international cultural integration,documentary images have undergone a shift on the perspective of"othering"to decode,a shift on the subject matter from the grand to the small,and a shift on the main theme from seeking national identity to building a cultural community.In the new era,documentary images should pay more attention to the diversified pursuits of decoders,constantly change the narrative methods to gradually adapt to the acceptance psychology and habits of decoders,and rely on new media technology to achieve a common platform in order to build a good national image and enhance the international influence of the Chinese nation.
