《九龙城寨之围城》:九龙城寨及其文化生产

Twilight of the Warriors:Walled In:Kowloon Walled City and its Cultural Production

《九龙城寨之围城》从一个新角度审视了九龙城寨之于香港与香港电影的意义。九龙城寨不但是被政治力量组织和建立起来的空间,同时也是由文化形态塑造并加以调整的复杂社会空间,更是一个包含了城寨空间与社会关系的再生产与秩序重建的空间形态。在这样的空间中,各方角力对其文化生成、“居在者”的精神、思想、价值观念等产生了不利影响,最终导致其身份和文化认同产生偏差。借助影片,我们看到了香港地区社会认同的归正。

Twilight of the Warriors reexamines the significance of Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong and Hong Kong cinema from another perspective.The Kowloon Walled City is not only a space organized and established by political forces,but also a complex social space shaped and adjusted by cultural forms.It is a new spatial form that includes the reproduction and reconstruction of social relations and order within the Walled City.In such a space,the struggles of various parties have had a negative impact on the cultural generation,the spirit,thoughts,values,etc.,of the"residents",ultimately leading to deviations in their identity and cultural identity.The film provides new insights into the issue of identity sought by Hong Kong region society.
