“革命之后”语境下人与空间改造的影像呈现——以纪录片《新人村》为样本

The Visual Presentation of Human and Spatial Transformation in the Context of“After the Revolution”—A Case Study of the Documentary Xin Ren Cun

《新人村》是新中国建立初期以改造被旧社会遗弃的人为题材的纪录片。影片中关于“旧人”的改造的内容很大程度上是对以政治为导向的社会变革的真实反映。在记录和表现将旧社会里“被遗弃的人”改造成新社会里的“新人”,特别是在呈现一个与以往迥异的,人人劳动、人人平等、人人受尊重、人人有尊严的“新人村”的样貌及其建立过程方面,《新人村》具有典型意义。考察该片对人和空间改造的呈现,可以揭示其影像内在的文化逻辑与意识形态、劳动教育及身体之间的互动关系。

Xin Ren Cun(New People Village)is a documentary film in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China,which focuses on the transformation of people who were abandoned by the old society.The content about the transformation of“old people”in the film is largely a true reflection of politically oriented social change.In recording and portraying the transformation of“abandoned people”in the old society into“new people”in the new society,especially in presenting the appearance and establishment process of a“new people village”that is completely different from the past,where everyone works,everyone is equal,everyone is respected,and everyone has dignity,Xin Ren Cun has typical significance.By examining the presentation of the transformation of people and space in the film,we can infer the cultural logic,ideology,labor education,and the interactive relationship between the body and the image.
