Abstract

Focusing on the interwar writings of the film journalist and theorist Béla Balázs, this article argues for an understanding of Balázs’s film aesthetics as grounded in a popular politics of the body. Balázs understood film as a medium in which experiences of image, sound, and expressive movement and gesture shape human subjectivities within a newly mediatized social realm. The article explores Balázs’s consequent plea for a film politics of popular embodiment and asks what a survey of Balázs’s writings as both critic and theorist tell us about the political valences of his film theory now.

本文以电影记者和理论家Béla Balázs在两次世界大战之间的作品为中心，主张理解巴尔兹的电影美学是基于身体的大众政治。巴尔兹将电影理解为一种媒介，在这种媒介中，图像、声音、表情动作和手势的体验在一个新的中介社会领域中塑造了人类的主观能动性。这篇文章探讨了巴尔兹对大众化电影政治的诉求，并询问了作为评论家和理论家对巴尔兹作品的调查，如何告诉我们他的电影理论现在的政治价值。
