理论旅行与理论的再生产:再探电影工业美学的建构

Traveling Theory and Theoretical Reproduction:A Re-exploration of the Construction of Film Industry Aesthetics

爱德华·萨义德关于“理论旅行”问题的探讨,创造性地揭示了理论借用、挪用以及理论在国际环境中从一地跨向另一地的运动过程,为我们研究跨文化视域下理论的散播、转换、接受、生成提供了理论资源。电影工业美学理论是基于中国电影产业发展的现实问题以及“新力量”导演的创作实践而生成的理论,其“中层理论”定位、“工业美学”原则、本土化意识、开放性立场等特征,既体现出中西方理论他域互通的价值共性,也彰显出本土电影学者的理论自觉。将电影工业美学理论置于理论旅行视域之下,从元理论、元批评层面对其理论资源、生成发展进行知识考古与历史化,不仅可以从中窥见当代中国电影观念的变化革新,发掘其理论生成的内在逻辑;而且考察其理论的生成发展、增殖扩容以及知识的再生产也可以为当代中国电影理论的发展创新提供方法论、认识论上的启示。

Edward Said's discussion on"traveling theory"creatively reveals the process of theoretical borrowing,appropriation and the movement of theories from one place to another in the international environment,and provides theoretical resources for us to study the dissemination,transformation,acceptance and generation of theories from a cross-cultural perspective.Film industry aesthetics theory is based on the practical problems in the development of Chinese film industry as well as the new power director of creative practice and generate theory,its characteristics such as,the middle theory position,the principle of aesthetics,the local consciousness,open stance,demonstrated the value of his domain exchange between Chinese and western theory both in common and reflected the theory of local scholars.Discussing the film industry aesthetics theory under the perspective of traveling theory,from the meta-theory,meta-criticism of the theoretical resources,generation and development of knowledge archaeology and historiography,can show the contemporary Chinese film concept change and innovation,and explore the internal logic of theory generation.Moreover,the study of the construction,multiplication and expansion of the theory and the reproduction of knowledge can also provide methodological and epistemological enlightenment for the development and innovation of contemporary Chinese film theory.
