摘要

本文分析了自然历史系列电影《自然的秘密》(1919- 1933)及其续集《生命的秘密》(1934-47)的制作和接受,探讨了这些电影在两次世界大战之间英国关于科学和自然的公共话语中所揭示的电影角色。文章的第一部分使用“中间”的方法介绍了这些秘密,将它们展示的各种自然历史与两次世界大战之间流行科学的当代趋势联系起来,从印刷出版物到动物园。它考察了科学知识是如何在系列中传播的,特别是对日常经验的呼吁,作为一种媒介,使大众与科学主题接触。第二部分通过知识联合生产的视角来审视《秘密》系列,详细介绍了一系列不同的人物,包括学术科学家、自然摄影师、制片人和教师,是如何在制作这些电影时纠缠在一起的。它认为,《秘密》发展出了一种独特的电影制作风格,为英国流行文化中的生命科学创造了文化空间。第三部分分析两次两次世界大战之间的电影实验,以探索想象和真实的观众是如何塑造以《秘密》电影为特征的各种自然知识的。

The ciné-biologists: natural history film and the co-production of knowledge in interwar Britain.

This article analyses the production and reception of the natural history film series Secrets of Nature (1919-33) and its sequel Secrets of Life (1934-47), exploring what these films reveal about the role of cinema in public discourses about science and nature in interwar Britain. The first part of the article introduces the Secrets using an 'intermedial' approach, linking the kinds of natural history that they displayed to contemporary trends in interwar popular science, from print publications to zoos. It examines how scientific knowledge was communicated in the series, especially the appeal to everyday experience as a vehicle to engage mass audiences with scientific subjects. The second part examines the Secrets series through the lens of knowledge co-production, detailing how a range of different figures, including academic scientists, nature photographers, producers and teachers, became entangled in making the films. Recovering the term 'ciné-biology', it argues that Secrets developed a unique style of filmmaking that generated cultural space for the life sciences in British popular culture. The third part analyses two interwar cinema experiments to explore how audiences, imagined and real, shaped the kinds of natural knowledge characterized by the Secrets films.
