镜像、想象与互文:农民画中农民形象变迁的视觉修辞

Mirror Image,Imagination and Intertextuality:Visual Rhetoric of the Changes in Farmer Images in Farmer Paintings

中国农民画记录着近七十年的社会变迁,也隐含着基层群众反观自身的方式。通过考察在农民画传播历程中有代表性的江苏邳县农民画、陕西户县农民画、上海金山农民画及全国农民画展作品中的农民形象,可以发现中国农民画的“家”“族”符号特色明显。结合文本分析及对农民画家的深度访谈,可知创作者以镜像、想象及互文等修辞策略在作品中隐含了国家的在场,表现了家人、族人与国家的命运是不可切割的共同体。研究农民画中农民形象的视觉修辞,有助于理解中国农民画及其传播的独特视角。

Chinese farmer paintings record the social changes of nearly 70 years and also imply the way grassroots people reflect on themselves.By examining the representative farmer images in the communication process of farmer paintings in Pixian County, Jiangsu Province;Huxian County, Shanxi Province;Shanghai Jinshan and the National Farmers' Painting Exhibition, it can be found that the “family” and “clan” symbol characteristics of Chinese farmer paintings are obvious.Based on text analysis and in-depth interviews with farmer painters, it can be seen that the creators use rhetorical strategies such as mirroring, imagination, and intertextuality to imply the presence of the country in their works, demonstrating that the fate of family, people, and the country is an inseparable community.Studying the visual rhetoric of farmer images in farmer paintings helps to understand the unique perspective of Chinese farmer paintings and their communication.
