新西兰电影中的殖民叙事与民族身份构建

Colonial Narratives and National Identity Construction in New Zealand Cinema

新西兰本土电影虽然数量有限,却在文本中深入探讨了殖民历史和遗产,体现了当代电影与历史叙事之间的互动与对话。20世纪70年代末,新西兰电影关于殖民经历的叙述方式发生了显著转变,无历史的土地和对历史主体建构的渴望形成的悖论引发了关于身份问题的诘问,历史的表述成为承载社会焦虑与探索的想象场域。在国内外环境剧变的背景下,新西兰殖民历史电影对社会动态的反映既是对悬而未决的身份问题的一种桥接,也暗示了对该问题本质的省略。

Although the number of indigenous films in New Zealand is limited,they engage deeply with colonial history and heritage,reflecting the interaction and dialogue between contemporary cinema and historical narratives.By the late 1970s,the narrative approach to colonial experiences in films underwent a significant transformation.The paradox of a land without history and the desire to construct historical subjects provoked questions about identity.The representation of history became an imaginative space for carrying societal anxieties and explorations.Against the backdrop of dramatic changes in both domestic and international environments,New Zealand's colonial history films reflect societal dynamics,serving as a bridge to unresolved identity issues,while also implying an omission of the essence of these issues.
