Abstract

Haneke’s film Funny Games is a reflection on the nature of pain and representation. I argue that the film closely follows Elaine Scarry’s arguments about the structure of torture. Further, by refusing to appeal to categories of generalization such as ‘sadism’ and ‘psychopathy’, Haneke undermines the process of finding meaning in violence. Haneke positions his audiences as more than just witnesses to torture, but active participants in cruelty.

Elaine Scarry, Michael Haneke的《有趣的游戏和残酷的结构》

Haneke的电影《Funny Games》反映了痛苦和再现的本质。我认为这部电影紧跟伊莱恩·斯卡里关于酷刑结构的观点。此外，由于拒绝诉诸诸如“虐待狂”和“精神病”之类的泛化分类，哈内克破坏了在暴力中寻找意义的过程。哈内克将他的观众定位为不仅仅是酷刑的见证者，而是残忍行为的积极参与者。
