Abstract

Abstract:Films, recalling fairy-tale magic, transcend time and space, and play with their audience's sense of (un)reality and (im)possibility. In director Tarsem's live-action fairy-tale films The Fall and Mirror Mirror, the magic (but also realistic) compressions and extensions of time and space offer overlaps between heterospatiality (using multiple, diverse spaces) and heterotemporality (using multiple, diverse times). In both cases, Tarsem puts filmic magic and science—historical and current—to postmodern and implicitly resistant uses. The otherworldly realms of fairy tales make them a potential place and time for the play and work of a free mind.

摄影机的朦胧与比喻：跨文化童话电影中的Tarsem与魔幻/现实

摘要:电影唤起童话般的魔力，超越时空，与观众的(非)现实感和(非)可能性感进行游戏。在Tarsem导演的真人童话电影《堕落》和《魔镜魔镜》中，时间和空间的神奇(但也是现实的)压缩和扩展提供了异空间性(使用多个不同的空间)和异时间性(使用多个不同的时间)之间的重叠。在这两种情况下，塔西姆都把电影的魔力和科学——历史的和现代的——运用到后现代和含蓄的抵抗中。童话的超凡脱俗境界使它们成为一个自由思想玩耍和工作的潜在场所和时间。

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
