动物危机与疗救焦虑——当代美国电影中动物题材探析

Crisis and Healing Anxiety: Analysis of Animal Themes in Contemporary American Films

以动物为主角的电影因集中体现其生存状态和折射人们生态意识而成为小众/大众,民族性/国际性的至关重要的话题。美国当下的动物电影运用动物等意象,不仅揭示了美国启蒙理性下科技进步背后的生态危机,同时对启蒙辩证法进行深刻反思:新技术革命下的工业文明的盲目发展使得动物成为试验品和消费品,导致人和动物、人和自然、人与人的关系的疏离、异化和扭曲。动物题材影片集中批判了人类中心主义的生态伦理价值观,思考了启蒙危机导致的生态困境出路的问题。

As the leading role,the film with animals has become a crucial topic of minority/public,national/international due to its concentrated expression of its living state and reflection of people’s ecological consciousness.The current animal movies using imagery such as animals,not only reveal the reason behind the progress of science and technology under the enlightenment of ecological crisis,but also offer a profound reflection for the dialectics of enlightenment:the blind development of industrial civilization under the new technology revolution has made the animals be subjected for human?experimentation and consumptions,thus leading relationship of alienation and distortion between man and nature.Animal films focus on criticizing the ecological ethical values of anthropocentrism and thinking about the way out of the ecological dilemma caused by the enlightenment crisis.
