Abstract

Building upon work in visual studies and art history on symbolic perspective, film studies on structures of looking, and linguistic anthropology on entextualization and ideology, this article explores the semiotics of vision/visibility and perspective. In particular, I focus on ethnographic data from the cinema of Tamil Nadu, India, wherein (being seen) seeing a film image and being seen in a film image emerge as pragmatically problematic for those party to the image. In doing so, the article asks: what does it mean and do to see and be seen by, look away from and be effaced by the film image and, further, see or be seen vis-à-vis the above (seeing someone being seen in a film image, be seen looking away, etc.)?

看，被看，以及透视的符号学

基于视觉研究和艺术史中关于符号视角的研究，电影中关于观看结构的研究，以及语言人类学中关于意在化和意识形态的研究，本文探讨了视觉/可见性和视角的符号学。我特别关注来自印度泰米尔纳德邦电影院的民族志数据，其中（被看到）观看电影图像和在电影图像中被看到对于图像的当事人来说是实用主义的问题。在这样做的过程中，文章问：看到和被看到，远离和被电影形象所抹去，更进一步，看到或被看到-à-vis以上（看到某人在电影形象中被看到，被看到在别处看，等等）是什么意思和做什么？
