电影《芙蓉镇》中的食物叙事与20世纪80年代的世俗伦理

The Food Narrative in the Film Hibiscus Town and the Secular Ethics in the 1980s

谢晋执导的电影《芙蓉镇》是20世纪80年代引发大众关注与学者热议的影片,它内隐着80年代思想文化变革的复杂性。从电影中米豆腐、米、酒等食物角度切入,可以梳理出电影蕴含着的内在文化逻辑,即用一种世俗生活伦理的叙事方式,肯定乡土秩序的美好、生存权利的至上、情感欲望的正义,以实现对历史的反思,并提供调整当下秩序、酝酿新的伦理合法性的意识形态话语。同时,这个过程与新时期拉开序幕后物质欲望的崛起、对“活着”的生存哲学的重视,以及对私人生活的关注等都存在着潜在的历史逻辑关系。

The film Hibiscus Town directed by Xie Jin was a popular film in the 1980s and implied the complexity of the ideological and cultural changes in the 1980s.From the perspective of rice tofu,rice,wine and other foods in the film,we can clearly find out the inner cultural logic contained in the film,that is,use a narrative method of secular life ethics to affirm the rural order,the right to live,and the emotional desire in order to reflect on history and provide the ideological discourse that adjusts the current order and establishes a new ethical legitimacy.At the same time,this process has a potential historical and logical relationship with the rise of materialistic desires,as well as the belief in philosophy of existence,and concerns about private life.
