摘要

本文探讨了美国电影中关于环境导致的流离失所的儿童形象的表现形式和意义。在电影研究、儿童研究和气候流动性新兴学术研究(Boas 等人,2022 年)的交叉点上,文章探讨了三部当代末日电影--《道路》(2009 年)、《避难所》(2011 年)和《格陵兰岛》(2020 年)--如何通过儿童角色来调解流动性与环境崩溃之间的关系。本研究认为,这些电影中的儿童所具有的功能--预言者、受害者、希望与未来的载体--将气候流动去政治化,掩盖了在环境威胁背景下形成流动选择的各种愿望、社会政治因素和权力结构。作为对即将到来的气候崩溃的想象性预测,这些影片为探索构建儿童角色的文化理想以及这些理想在阐述气候流动性方面的影响提供了肥沃的土壤。

Facing Apocalypse: Climate Mobilities and the Cinematic Child

This article engages with the representations and meanings of child figures within US films about environmentally induced displacement. At the intersection between film studies, childhood studies, and the emerging scholarship on climate mobilities (Boas et al., 2022), it explores the ways in which three contemporary apocalyptic films—The Road (2009), Take Shelter (2011), and Greenland (2020)— mediate the relationship between mobility and environmental collapse through child characters. It argues that the functions attached to the child in these films—those of seer, victim, and carrier of hope and futurity—work to depoliticize climate mobilities, obscuring the varied aspirations, sociopolitical factors, and power structures that shape mobility choices in the context of environmental threat. As imaginary projections of an upcoming climate collapse, these films provide fertile ground for an exploration of the cultural ideals underpinning the construction of child characters, and the influence these have in the articulation of climate mobilities.
