Abstract

This commentary focuses on the cinematic and intellectual work of Miguel De, expressed through The Kiss and its accompanying essay. The objective here is to problematize some of the historical and technocultural connections raised by the essay, and to frame De’s experimental essay film within a wider tradition of (mostly European) film-making who has as its main aim a troubling of the notion of “pornography”. This troubling is often done through a double deployment of vision: the audience is shown a named something, but maybe not what they were expecting to see, and it is through the disconnect between the naming and the showing that the connections between sexuality, obscenity and carnal resonance are made apparent and contingent. However, as these acts of troubling circulate within the contemporary technological capitalist mediasphere, they quickly become a locus for a potential site of capture, normalization and redeployment of power relationships.
淫秽、色情、道德:作为肉体共鸣的道德力量
这篇评论聚焦于米格尔·德的电影和智力作品,通过《吻》及其随笔表达。这里的目的是对这篇文章提出的一些历史和技术文化联系提出质疑,并将德的实验性散文电影置于更广泛的(主要是欧洲的)电影制作传统中,其主要目的是对“色情”概念的困扰。这种困扰通常是通过视觉的双重部署来实现的:观众看到的是一个命名的东西,但可能不是他们期望看到的,正是通过命名和表演之间的脱节,性、淫秽和肉欲共鸣之间的联系变得明显和偶然。然而,随着这些令人不安的行为在当代技术资本主义媒体领域传播,它们很快成为权力关系捕捉、正常化和重新部署的潜在场所。
