“发现儿童”与电影启蒙:民国儿童电影范式的确立

“Discovering Children” and Film Enlightenment: The Establishment of Children’s Film Paradigm in China before 1949

在儿童本位观念的指导下,重新审视民国儿童电影范式是本文写作的核心要义。从20世纪30年代初开始,民国期刊译介国际社会儿童电影研究的最新进展,国民政府发起社会性的儿童电影教育运动,这形成了民国儿童电影创作的批评场域与社会机制。以1935年民国"儿童年"为起点,电影业开始自觉地进行儿童电影创作,银幕上出现了一批真实可信的儿童形象,这些作品也确立了后来儿童电影的美学范式,即现实美学与童趣美学的创作路径。

Under the guidance of the concept of children-oriented, re-examining the paradigm of children’s film of the Republic of China is the core of the thesis. Beginning in the early 1930s, journals of the Republic of China translated and introduced the latest study of international children’s films. Starting from the “Children’s Year”, the film industry began to consciously produce films targeting children, leading to the appearance of a number of authentic and credible children on screen. These works also established the later paradigm of children’s films: aesthetics of realism and childhood.
