Abstract

This article focuses on the five-part miniseries, Chernobyl (2019), with its contaminated landscape that deals with a troubled, traumatic history. It takes inspiration from the work of Walter Benjamin and his concept of historical materialism, but principally draws on theoretical paradigms dealing with transcultural memory, to advance a discussion on memory work, (re)mediation of historical events and televisual representation. Specifically the essay explores the strategies through which the Anglo-American co-production between Sky and HBO, the first of its kind, offers a collective remembrance of this man-made ecological disaster from 1986 in 2019, awakened in (re)mediated landscapes.

唤醒被污染的土地：作为跨文化电视记忆作品的（再）媒介景观，对天空电视台/HBO迷你剧《切尔诺贝利》（2019年）的案例研究

本文重点关注五集迷你剧《切尔诺贝利》（2019 年），该剧以其受污染的景观讲述了一段动荡不安、充满创伤的历史。文章从瓦尔特-本雅明（Walter Benjamin）的著作及其历史唯物主义概念中汲取灵感，但主要借鉴了涉及跨文化记忆的理论范式，以推进关于记忆工作、历史事件（再）调解和电视表现的讨论。具体而言，文章探讨了天空电视台和 HBO 首次联合制作的英美纪录片所采用的策略，该纪录片在（重新）调解的景观中唤醒了 2019 年人们对 1986 年这场人为生态灾难的集体记忆。
