Abstract:

  The exploration of the Chinese contemporary film since 1990s, that is, the exhibition of topic, idea, narration, form and style, can be summed up as the research scope of the "vanguard politics", which was predominantly manifested in the following three aspects: the unprivileged perspective, the marginal culture represented by homoerotism and the panautobiography. On the one hand, the politics of the unprivileged perspective, by returning to the smooth narrative, and with the subjective creative consciousness, give a close concern and exhibition of the reality of the Chinese contemporary social transformation, and, by an elite narcissism or a mode different from the dated bird' seye view, pay so much attention to the marginal, unprivileged group, displaying an unconcealed, nonconceptual, detailed original life; and on the other hand, the politics of the homoerotism, through the specialty of the subculture such as homosexuality in ethical or aesthetic reception, establish a independent, blackboxed, social group, which, on the whole, possesses the legality of the "doingforthemselves" as well as the culture of the "independent individual". And the politics of the panautobiography, by way of the newsreel style breaking the grand narrative, display "my" condensed, complanate "individual life experience", and, through the microcosmic individual condition, reflect the world related to "I".

Key words: vanguard film; vanguard politics; unprivileged perspective; marginal culture; homoerotism; individual life experience; panautobiography
