Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explores focus group responses to Mia Hansen-Løve’s Things to Come (2016). The focus groups were conducted across four English regions in Autumn 2018, and drew participants from a range of social, cultural and economic backgrounds. The responses reveal some of the ways in which audiences in the English regions form and make meaning around particular kinds of textual and contextual experiences of cinemagoing and consumption. In particular, the article aims to develop our understanding of contemporary art cinema to take account of the ways in which audiences identify and respond to a film clip which captures the particular textual characteristics associated with the mode. Our research finds that for many, the pleasures of art cinema are contingent on participation within related, elite social and cultural practices, whereas for others, art cinema conventions operate as sites of labour and exclusion. The responses also reveal some of the ways in which narratives of nationhood are constructed in relation to art cinema The methodological approach of the research, drawing on film elicitation, indicates ways in which traditional models of textual analysis might be enriched by more pluralised accounts of the relationships between form and meaning.
一个“想象的空间”:法国与英国地区艺术电影的乐趣和劳动
摘要本文探讨了焦点小组对Mia Hansen-Løve的《未来》(2016)的回应。2018年秋季,焦点小组在英国四个地区进行,参与者来自不同的社会、文化和经济背景。这些回应揭示了英语地区观众围绕电影制作和消费的特定文本和语境体验形成和产生意义的一些方式。特别是,这篇文章旨在发展我们对当代艺术电影的理解,以考虑观众识别和回应电影剪辑的方式,该剪辑捕捉到了与该模式相关的特定文本特征。我们的研究发现,对许多人来说,艺术电影的乐趣取决于参与相关的精英社会和文化实践,而对其他人来说,电影节则是劳动和排斥的场所。这些回应还揭示了国家叙事与艺术电影之间的一些构建方式。这项研究的方法论方法借鉴了电影启发,表明了通过对形式和意义之间关系的更多元化描述,可以丰富传统的文本分析模型。
