“现代国家”规划的经济还原:韩国电影中的贫困再现

The Economic Reduction of“Modern State”Planning:The Representation of Poverty in Korean Cinema

20世纪前期,韩国社会经历殖民和战争之后,面临着完成现代化的任务,建立“现代国家”是具有代表性的课题。20世纪后期“现代国家”的规划将现代化还原为经济。韩国电影时而赞同时而批评此规划并再现了贫困议题。60年代的电影再现了绝对贫困,以“不现实的现实主义”表现了毫无根据的乐观主义。80年代的影片再现了相对贫困,表现了“批判现实主义”的悲观主义。21世纪,韩国电影实现了“美学转向”,通过再现贫富差距揭示了“现代国家”规划的衔接性。

South Korea experienced colonization and war in the early and mid-20th century.After colonization and war,the task of modernization was accomplished through the establishment of a modern state.The plan to complete the modern state reduced modernization into the economy.In the second half of the 20th century,Korean cinema sympathized with or criticized this project of modernization and represented poverty.The films of the 60s represented absolute poverty and showed unfounded optimism with“unrealistic realism”.The 80s represented relative poverty and showed the pessimism of“critical realism”.In the 21st century,Korean cinema has realized an“aesthetic turn”by showing the compatibility of modernization plans through the representation of the gap between the rich and the poor.
