<b>CONSTRUCTING THE FRAGMENTED IDENTITY IN HER: A CINEMATIC DEPICTION OF RESISTANCE TO GENDER NORMS WITHIN POPULAR CULTURE</b>
收藏资源简介:
This study examines the 2013 film Her (Annapurna Pictures) as an example of the impact that modern forms of surveillance have on human identity. The film shows textual evidence within both its narrative and elements of mis-en-scene that characters within popular culture films resist gender norms promoted and enforced by broad surveilling power structures within less surveilled social spaces through the construction of a fragmented identity: First, by portraying intimacy between a human and a cyborg as normal; second, by depicting a human protagonist ‘ungirl’ trope who constructs identities unique to the multiple less surveilled social spaces that he navigates within the film; and finally by depicting human resistance to hegemonic forms of masculinity promoted and enforced by modern forms of surveillance such as cyborgs as the construction of a fragmented identity. The film’s cinematic depiction of the human social condition impacted by Big Data exemplifies a critical representation of the human resistance to gender norms through the construction of a fragmented identity. In particular, Her contributes to the potential of mixed genre science fiction films to challenge gender norms promoted and enforced by technologies created and deployed by broad surveilling authorities like companies who collect and manipulate human data.
本研究以2013年安纳普尔纳影业(Annapurna Pictures)出品的电影《她》(Her)为案例,探讨现代监控形态对人类身份认同的影响。本片通过叙事与场面调度(mise-en-scène)元素中的文本证据表明,流行文化影片中的角色通过构建碎片化身份,在监控程度较低的社会空间中对抗由泛化监控权力结构所推行与强化的性别规范:其一,将人类与赛博格(cyborg)之间的亲密关系塑造为常态;其二,刻画人类主角的"非典型少女"(ungirl)形象范式,该角色在影片中穿梭于多个低监控社会空间,并构建适配各空间的专属身份;其三,展现人类对由现代监控形态(如赛博格)所推行与强化的霸权男性气质的反抗,将其具象为碎片化身份的构建过程。本片以电影化手法展现受大数据(Big Data)影响的人类社会处境,正是通过构建碎片化身份实现对性别规范反抗的批判性呈现的典型案例。具体而言,《她》为混合类型科幻电影提供了创作潜力,使其能够挑战由泛化监控机构(如收集并操控人类数据的企业)所研发与部署的技术所推行和强化的性别规范。
