Abstract

Netflix has commissioned and released an increasing number of high-end international series that tap into the genres of science fiction, fantasy and horror. These follow one of two strategies: (1) local productions that engage with local folklore and myths, or (2) productions centred in the ‘West’, where international talent is brought in to create cosmopolitan ‘global’ TV events such as 1899 (2022). The first strategy brings together local storytelling with a globally appealing packaging. The second strategy risks reducing ‘transnational’ production to a few tokenistic stars and narratives which are ultimately from everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

Netflix 的高端全球远程幻想：显而易见的虚拟本地化

Netflix 委托制作并发行了越来越多的高端国际剧集，这些剧集以科幻、奇幻和恐怖为题材。这些剧集遵循两种策略之一：（1）与当地民间传说和神话相结合的本土制作，或（2）以 "西方 "为中心，引进国际人才，打造世界性的 "全球 "电视事件，如《1899》（2022 年）。第一种策略将本地故事与具有全球吸引力的包装结合在一起。第二种策略则有可能使 "跨国 "制作沦为少数几个象征性的明星和叙事，归根结底，这些明星和叙事来自四面八方，同时又无处不在。
