Abstract

Huxian Peasant Paintings are a product of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Ostensibly painted by peasant amateur artists, they depict idealized peasants in rural China. The paintings were reproduced in large numbers and distributed as posters for the masses. Further evidence has shown that the amateur artists were in fact given detailed training by professional artists under the guidance of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This paper seeks to analyze the images as important political texts from the Cultural Revolution because of the influence of the CCP. Using discourse analysis, this paper argues that these posters are an important discursive formation that allowed the CCP to transmit ideology to a largely illiterate or semiliterate rural population.
胡县的傻老头创造新场景:文革时期的胡县农民画及其思想话语
湖县农民画是中国文化大革命的产物。表面上看,它们是由农民业余艺术家创作的,描绘的是中国农村理想化的农民。这些画被大量复制,并作为海报分发给群众。进一步的证据表明,这些业余艺术家实际上是在中国共产党的指导下,由专业艺术家进行了详细的培训。本文试图分析由于中共的影响,文革影像作为重要的政治文本。通过话语分析,本文认为这些海报是一种重要的话语形式,使中共能够向大部分文盲或半文盲的农村人口传播意识形态。
