Abstract

Abstract Many scholars have addressed the 1967 war in their studies, exploring its origins and aftermath, mostly in the context of diplomacy, the military, or regional and Cold War politics. Studies dealing with the war's repercussions on social, intellectual, and cultural life in Egypt are substantial as well. Yet the scholarship dedicated primarily to the study of emotions on the heels of the war remains scarce and disproportionate to the magnitude of the defeat. By juxtaposing films such as al-Ard (The Land, 1970), al-Ikhtiyar (The Choice, 1971), and al-ʿUsfur (The Sparrow, 1974), all directed by Egyptian filmmaker Youssef Chahine, with contemporaneous essays, films, songs, interviews, and the press, I examine the different emotional responses of Chahine and, by extension and association, Egyptian cineasts and critics on the heels of the defeat, tracing their change between June 1967 and October 1973, when Egypt retaliated by launching an attack on Israeli positions in the Sinai Peninsula, and their possible connection to the existing understandings of the defeat at the time.
紧跟着1967年:Chahine,电影和对失败的情感反应
许多学者在他们的研究中讨论了1967年的战争,主要是在外交、军事或地区和冷战政治的背景下探讨其起源和后果。有关战争对埃及社会、知识分子和文化生活影响的研究也相当丰富。然而,主要致力于研究战后情绪的学术研究仍然很少,而且与战败的严重程度不成比例。通过将埃及电影制作人优素福·查欣执导的《土地》(1970年)、《选择》(1971年)和《麻雀》(1974年)等影片与同时代的散文、电影、歌曲、采访和媒体并置,我研究了查欣的不同情感反应,并通过延伸和联系,研究了埃及电影和评论家在失败后的不同情绪反应,追踪了他们在1967年6月至1973年10月之间的变化。当时埃及对以色列在西奈半岛的阵地发动了袭击,作为报复,以及它们与当时对失败的现有理解之间的可能联系。
