Abstract

Abstract:Although Disney films are sometimes denigrated as popular or “low” art forms, this article argues that they often engage deeply with, and thereby communicate, significant moral truths. The capitalistic enterprise of contemporary modern cinema demands that cinematic moral pedagogy be sublimated into non-partisan forms, often by substituting secular proxies for otherwise divine or spiritual components. By adapting Søren Kierkegaard’s tripartite existential anthropology of the self, I analyze the subjective experiences of the protagonists in three recent animated fairy tales—Disney’s Frozen, Moana, and Tangled—to demonstrate how these princess movies bridge the imaginative gap between the mundane and the divine.
克尔凯郭尔的“三个球体”与电影童话教育学
摘要:尽管迪士尼电影有时被诋毁为流行或“低级”的艺术形式,但本文认为,它们经常深入参与并传播重要的道德真理。当代现代电影的资本主义事业要求将电影道德教育升华为无党派的形式,通常是通过用世俗的代理人代替神圣或精神的组成部分。通过改编瑟伦·克尔凯郭尔关于自我的三重存在主义人类学,我分析了最近三部动画童话——迪士尼的《冰雪奇缘》、《莫阿纳》和《探戈》——中主人公的主观经历,以展示这些公主电影是如何弥合世俗与神圣之间的想象鸿沟的。
