“第六代”电影的后现代性解读

The Interpretation of Films of the Sixth Generation

所谓"第六代",是指活跃在20世纪90年代的一批年轻的电影人。他们在电影艺术上大胆地进行先锋探索和试验,并从当下的社会现实出发,通过电影语言来阐释他们的生命体验和人性关怀。本文结合中国20世纪90年代的社会文化语境———全球化/后现代/后殖民的多重交织,通过对"第六代"电影个案《苏州河》(娄烨,1997年)的文本解读,进而对"第六代"电影作品从整体上进行后现代性分析,以进一步阐释中国90年代的社会文化结构及中国电影的未来走向。

The sixth-generation'of Chinese focus on ordinary people, especially those who live at the bottom of society. This thesis is intended to approach the filmic texts of the sixth-generation from the postmodern within a broad social and cultural context of globalization and postcolonialism. Through the filmic text analysis of The Suzhou River the thesis will focus on the postmodernity of the sixth-generation in general, and then demonstrate Chinese social and cultural structure of 1990s in an attempt to point out the possible future trend of Chinese cinema.
