摘要

本文分析了2018年上映的《黑豹》所代表的“我们”的摇摆想象中的文化政治。这个流行的文化文本集中了黑人，因为它指的是20世纪90年代早期黑人受压迫的实例。在影片以黑人为中心的内容与好莱坞超级英雄类型的形式之间的矛盾中，电影中“我们”的想象力膨胀又缩小。本文借鉴了弗雷德里克·詹姆逊和Étienne巴里巴提出的概念，包括想象的解决、乌托邦的潜力、意识形态的遏制和平等，批判性地考察了文本中的意识形态。当谈到“我们”的扩张时，文章探索了激进恶棍的乌托邦潜力。在“我们”的收缩方面，它通过关注英雄的表现，以及作为壮观背景的韩国肖像，调查了好莱坞超级英雄电影中意识形态遏制的作用。

The Vacillating Imagination of ‘Us' in Black Panther (2018)

This article analyzes the cultural politics of the vacillating imagination of “us” represented in Black Panther, released in 2018. This popular cultural text centralizes Blackness in that it refers to instances of Black oppression in the early 1990s. Amid the contradiction between the film's Black-centered content and the form of the Hollywood superhero genre, the imagination of “us” in the film expands and shrinks. Drawing on concepts developed by Fredric Jameson and Étienne Balibar, including imaginary resolution, utopian potential, ideological containment, and equaliberty, this article critically examines the ideologies in the text. When it comes to the expansion of “us,” the article explores the utopian potential in the representation of the radical villain. In terms of the shrinkage of “us,” it investigates the function of ideological containment in the Hollywood superhero movie by focusing on the representation of the hero, and the portrait of South Korea as a spectacular background.

期刊介绍： International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
