解放区土改题材版画的图像叙事

On Image Narration of Prints about Land Reform in the Liberated Areas

20世纪四五十年代土改题材版画的集中出现,是基于土地改革这一历史命题的图像表达,是对毛泽东《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》精神的成功实践。其图像叙事策略可以归纳为两个互融渐进的阶段:基于苦难情感的诉苦“动员”叙事策略和基于集体亢奋的斗争叙事策略。同时,在诉苦、斗争等显性图像叙事策略的背后,暗含了一种对新政权认同的隐性叙事逻辑。由此,解放区土改题材版画不仅完成了其宣传政策和记录现实的任务,而且以一种带有象征意味的图像诠释了党的政治理念和文艺思想,体现了人民对新生活的憧憬和想象。

The concentrated birth of prints about Land Reform in the 1940s and 1950s was a successful practice of the spirit of Mao Zedong’s Speech at the Yan’an Forum on Literature and Art and an image expression based on the historical subject of Land Reform.Its image narration strategy can be summarized into two mutually integrated and progressive stages:the narrative strategy of suffering-telling“mobilization”based on the bitter emotion and the narrative strategy of struggle relied on collective exuberance.At the same time,behind the explicit narrative strategies of suffering-telling and struggles,there is an implicit narrative logic of confirmation with the new regime.Thus,the subject of Land Reform in the liberated areas not only fulfills its task of propagating policies and reality-recording but also interprets the Party’s political philosophy and literary thoughts with symbolic images,embodying the people’s yearning and imagination for a new life.
