摘要:

新中国已经建立了六十年。六十年间,中国电影和这个国家一齐经历了巨大的变化和转折。电影当然是一种娱乐和休闲的形式,但它也是一种具有象征意义的想像,是一个民族国家的重要的文化形态。在新中国成立六十周年的时刻,回顾电影发展的六十年是对于中国在20世纪后半叶到21世纪的“大历史”进程的反思和探讨的一部分,也是对于中国的认同建构重要部分的重新认知。从“公民身份”建构的角度对中国电影六十年发展历程进行简单回顾,可以提供一个新的理论思考的角度和空间,而通过对电影发展六十年的轨迹的分析可以发现和思考“中国梦”的轨迹。六十年来中国电影的道路正是中国发展道路的一部分,在中国认同的创造中,电影始终发挥着重要作用。电影直接参与了“新中国”的认同的创造,也直接参与了改革开放的进程,中国的发展和中国电影的发展之间相互扣连及相互依存的关系和它与“中国梦”展开的过程的关系是异常紧密的。中国电影六十年的历程有一个贯穿其中的主题,就是中国的公民身份的建构和转变的历程,也就是确立“公民”和“消费者”的同一,“英雄”与“凡人”的同一的进程,这也是一个“中国梦”展开的过程。

Abstract:

New China has been established for 60 years, during which, together with this country, the Chinese film undergoes a great change and transition. Of course, film is a form of amusement and leisure. But it is also a kind of symbolic imagination, and an important pattern of culture belonging to a nationstate. Today, when China' s 60th anniversary is coming, a retrospection of the Chinese film in the past 60 years, no doubt, constructs a part of reflection or discussion of the "big history" from the second half of the 20th century to the 21st century, and, at the same time, an important part of recognition of China identity. This essay, while having a brief retrospection of the Chinese film in the past 60 years from the perspective of citizenship construction, tries to provide a new theoretical viewpoint and space, and, by analysis of the 60 years track of the Chinese film, discovers and considers the track of the "China dream". The author points out that the Chinese film, the development of which is a part of the development of China, always plays an important role in constructing China identity. While the Chinese film directly participates in the construction of the "new China" identity, it also directly involves in the process of reform and openingup.  The interrelated and interdependent relationship between the development of China and the development of the Chinese film is closely relative to the process of the "China dream" deployment. In fact, there is a thematic line running through the process of the Chinese film in the past 60 years. That is the process of the construction and transformation of the Chinese citizenship, and also the process of setting up the identity of the "citizen" and "customer" or of the "hero" and "mortal", and also the process of the "China dream" deployment.
