摘要
摘要:迭戈-里维拉(Diego Rivera)的壁画《宇宙的控制者》(El hombre controlador del universo,1934 年)可以被解读为预示着墨西哥核时代流行文化中对原子能的焦虑和乐观。里维拉的构想以史诗般的方式肯定了普通人在面对技术时代时的能动性,同时令人不安地预示了冷战的两极化,胡里安-索莱尔(Julián Soler)在其电影《Santo contra Blue Demon en la Atlantida》(1969 年)中重新审视了这些主题,该电影印证了里维拉壁画的预言。
Cover Essay: La Gente, Controllers of the Universe
abstract:
Diego Rivera's mural El hombre controlador del universo (1934) can be read as foreshadowing the anxieties and optimisms about atomic power that shaped popular culture in Mexico during the nuclear age. In epic fashion, Rivera's vision affirms the agency of ordinary people in the face of a technological epoch while eerily anticipating the bipolarity of the Cold War, themes that would be revisited by Julián Soler in his film Santo contra Blue Demon en la Atlantida (1969), which bears out the prophecy of Rivera's mural.
