从巫魅、祛魅到复魅:文化他者视觉呈现的历史与逻辑

From Enchantment,Disenchantment to Re-enchantment: History and Logic in View of the Cultural Other

文化他者的视觉呈现经历了一个历史演变的过程,早期对文化他者是以神怪化的方式进行图像化表达的,这种神怪化包含着一种建立在巫魅世界观基础上的对世界的理解与想象;随着现代性的展开,近代文化逐渐将这样一种包含着神话力量的他者形象转化为一种可以被随意征服、占有与利用的动物化、女性化的客体;而随着对现代性的批判及原始主义的兴起,在当代的视觉文化语境中,将文化他者进行复魅化处理以实现文化的自我反思则成为一种新的逻辑。

The visual presentation of the cultural other has experienced a process of historical evolution. The early culture was presented to the cultural other through the image of genies,reflecting the understanding and imagination of the world based on the world view of enchantment; with the development of modernity,modern culture has gradually changed the other' s image with mythical power into the object of animal and female capable of being conquered,possessed and exploited; and with the criticism of modernity and the rise of primitivism,in the modern visual cultural context,the re- enchantment of the cultural other has become a new logic for the purpose of realizing cultural self- reflection.
