写得影史三城记,借得烈火一缕魂。 Fiery Cinema: The Emergence of an Affective Medium in China, 1915-1945 是包卫红的第一本英文学术专著。此书由她在芝加哥大学电影与媒体研究学系完成的博士论文发展而来,从论文结题至付之梨枣,已历十载。付梓之际,此书即以扎实的档案...
评分看英语书好慢,不过如果能看完导论就大致能知道它关注的内容以及理论方法了。 作者认为从重庆观众焚烧木兰从军,并不是简单的“光天化日之下的暴行”(brutality in broad daylight),或者大后方针对上海商业电影的群众暴力mob violence。而是一个煽动性的、自觉的跨媒介行动...

What was cinema in modern China? It was, this book tells us, a dynamic entity, not strictly tied to one media technology, one mode of operation, or one system of aesthetic code. It was, in Weihong Bao’s term, an affective medium, a distinct notion of the medium as mediating environment with the power to stir passions, frame perception, and mold experience. In Fiery Cinema, Bao traces the permutations of this affective medium from the early through the mid-twentieth century, exploring its role in aesthetics, politics, and social institutions.
Mapping the changing identity of cinema in China in relation to Republican-era print media, theatrical performance, radio broadcasting, television, and architecture, Bao has created an archaeology of Chinese media culture. Within this context, she grounds the question of spectatorial affect and media technology in China’s experience of mechanized warfare, colonial modernity, and the shaping of the public into consumers, national citizens, and a revolutionary collective subject. Carrying on a close conversation with transnational media theory and history, she teases out the tension and affinity between vernacular, political modernist, and propagandistic articulations of mass culture in China’s varied participation in modernity.
Fiery Cinema advances a radical rethinking of affect and medium as a key insight into the relationship of cinema to the public sphere and the making of the masses. By centering media politics in her inquiry of the forgotten future of cinema, Bao makes a major intervention into the theory and history of media.
除了第五章略弱以外(也可能因为我自己对propaganda偏见太深难以被掰回来),整本书的史料收集理论想象力跨媒介跨文化研究文本分析都扎实得惊人,尤其中国电影研究很少见到有如此广阔视野的著述。(好想跟包老师学找资料啊!
评分不是那种一眼看上去就让人喜欢的书。槽点很多,比如语言晦涩造成的阅读障碍、脑洞过大的理论解读,每个章节内部的结构也有些松散。但相比于其他中国早期电影研究(比如张真那本),包卫红确实抓住了一个更有概括力和延展性的视角。把电影看作affect medium,由此勾连了左翼电影和商业电影(甚至政治宣传片),突出了电影媒介和其他媒介的互动(戏剧、建筑、报纸、大众科学等等),对于重新思考20世纪中国文艺史整体都有帮助。
评分写得影史三城记,借得烈火一缕魂。
评分A new landmark for historical and theoretical research on early Chinese cinema! Electrifying and mind-blowing!
