“人民的城市”:论“十七年”反特片的城市想象

“People's City”:On the City Imagination of the"Seventeen Years"Anti-Spy Films

反特片在对侦探片、间谍片等类型的继承中保留了两者城市叙事的传统。在“十七年”反特片中,公安逮捕并改造特务的情节模式实际是对新政权改造旧人文的隐喻。在电影对城市的警惕、对城市的治理与对城市主体的教育等三重话语的表达中,城市完成了从灰暗到明亮的风格改造、从消费到生产的功能改造、从个体到公共的话语改造。反特片将一些欲望与情绪藏匿在它模式化的叙事结构之中,后者在前者的城市想象中又得以浮现。而欲望与情绪的在场,无疑揭开了“十七年”时期若隐若现的暧昧的现代性面纱。

In the inheritance of detective films,spy films,and other types,anti-spy films retain the tradition of writing cities.In the"seventeen years"anti-spy films,the narrative mode of the police's arresting and educating spies is actually a metaphor for urban transformation in the new society.In the performance of the triple discourse of the film,i.e.,the vigilance to the city,the governance of the urban space,and the education of the urban subject,the city has completed the transformation from dark to bright style,from consumption to production,and from daily to public discourse.The anti-spy films hide some desires and emotions behind their patterned narrative structure,and the latter emerges in the former's urban imagination.The presence of desire and emotion has undoubtedly revealed"ambiguous"modernity in the"seventeen years"period.
