重返结构电影:概念建构、接受模式与历史意义

Structural Film Redux:Concept Construction,Mode of Reception and Historical Significance

与其说结构电影是一种形式、风格或艺术流派,不如说是对一系列具有类似意识的实验电影的创造性接受。西特尼对“结构”与“形式”的区分构成了他命名结构电影概念的基础,对“形态”的强调和认识,使结构电影的批评话语发生从创作角度到接受角度的转移,感知维度与智识维度成为观看结构电影经验光谱的两极。由于精确性、严谨性的缺失,结构电影概念难以成为实验电影的有效理论,只能作为批评术语和历史范畴存在,但也由此获得一种面向未来的阐释弹性。

Rather than a form,style or artistic genre,structural film is a creative acceptance of a series of experimental films with a similar consciousness.Sitney's distinction between"structure"and"form"forms the basis of his concept of structural film,and the recognition of"shape"has shifted the critical discourse of structural film from the perspective of creation to reception,and the perceptual and intellectual dimensions have become the two poles of the spectrum of experience in viewing structural film.Due to the lack of precision and rigour,the concept of structural film can hardly become an effective theory of experimental cinema,but only exists as a crical term and a historical category,but it also obtains a kind of future-oriented interpretative flexibility.
