乌托邦世界的敌人及其克服——政治哲学视角下的《疯狂动物城》

The Enemy of Utopian World and Its Overcoming:Study on Zootopia from the Perspective of Political Philosophy

好莱坞电影《疯狂动物城》展示了对乌托邦思考的不同维度,它将乌托邦作为一种实存形态加以叙述,而非如传统乌托邦叙事中那样将乌托邦设置为未来形态。通过这一实存叙事展示了对动物乌托邦世界三个致命敌人的思考:动物野蛮化、族群分裂、阶层固化。它们是动物乌托邦世界的三个致命的敌人,只有通过朱迪身上展示的信心、勇气和公众领域良好的引导才能有效地克服它们。动物城作为非自然存在的'编织物',本身就面临着自然界和非自然界的双重夹击,它体现为城邦之外的'午夜嚎叫花'和城邦之内的权力侵蚀,二者叠合在一起会'溶解'城邦这一伟大的'编织物'。由于自身的限制,'动物城'这一乌托邦不可能是完美、永恒的,其存在的意义在于提醒我们:乌托邦的意义在于对现实的超越,它将在尝试一切中获得永生。

The film Zootopia shows different dimensions of thoughts on utopia. It describes utopia as a real existence, instead of as a future planning in traditional utopian narratives. Three fatal enemies of zootopia world are demonstrated in this film, namely,animal barbarization, fragmentation of ethnic groups and class solidification. They can be effectively overcome only by confidence and courage that embodied in Judy’s behavior, and proper guidance in public sphere. Animal city, as an unnatural fabric, is challenged by pressure from natural and unnatural settings, specifically "midnight bowl" flower outside the city and authority corruption inside the city. They work together to dissolve the great fabric of the zootopia. Due to the intrinsic limitations,zootopia is not perfect or eternal. Its existence reminds us that the significance of utopia is to overcome the reality and utopia exists ever in its attempts to all possibilities.
