The Actualization of Post-colonialism in Movies

The post-colonialism is a theory proposed by the eastern colonial academist Edward W. Said. With the understanding and the definition of post-colonialism, the paper is to analyze phenomena of the movie 2012 and Avatar from several aspects. Firstly, the ＂other＂ is the first angle to be talked about. In the Westerners＇ perspective, they are the center of the world, and they dominate the world. Their rules are the accepted rules, and people of different origin or different cultures are all called ＂other＂. Secondly, it is the degeneration of eastern culture. In the complex of the degeneration of the culture, the demonization of the under-developed nations, the dominant language of English in the communication with the people around, feminization of the characters in the movies, and the updated colonialism of the colonized countries are to be mentioned.

互学互鉴下中国玻璃画的舶来内化与对外传播

清代中晚期中国外销玻璃画一度风靡欧洲,尤以镜画为贵,成为了当时西方收藏界竞相追逐的珍贵东方艺术之一。中国玻璃画精湛的技艺和东方内容被西方视为具有异国情调的装饰物。清中晚期是经济、政治和社会等方面急剧转变的时期,玻璃画从工艺角度来说虽为舶来,但在这一时期发生了双重本土化转换,映射出当时中国的价值观、信仰和社会心态。本文聚焦清中晚期玻璃画中一个特殊现象“东方景色中的洋人形象塑造”,通过梳理“东景西人”的图像演变历程,可知这一现象不仅是沟通画匠与观者情感的中心媒介,也是承载清晚期中西方文化融合的记忆场所,为玻璃画赋予了一种时空叙事特征。
