摘要

罗恩·霍华德(Ron Howard)改编自JD Vance的《乡巴佬挽歌》(Hillbilly Elegy)的畅销书,将这本《纽约时报》畅销书视为对阿巴拉契亚政治的回应,为理解特朗普的受欢迎程度提供了见解。然而,随着特朗普最近支持万斯竞选参议员,阅读万斯的文本需要更新。它着眼于以乡巴佬为主题的表现的更大背景。美国优生学提供了这样一种观点。100多年来,美国优生学运动利用乡巴佬的刻板印象来证明其对所谓“叛逃者”的监视、分类、制度化和绝育是正当的,以宣传其“白人”形象。大众媒体是这些努力不可或缺的一部分。作为美国优生学运动的基本叙事,戈达德1912年的文本《Kallikaks》也是1977年制作的一部以乡巴佬为主题的情景喜剧的名字。本文利用Lisa Cartwright的《筛查身体,追踪医学的视觉文化》,认为美国优生学中乡下人刻板印象的叙事一直是电影和电视史上不可或缺的一部分,可以追溯到动作研究。霍华德改编的JD Vance的书《乡巴佬挽歌》延续了这段历史。

“From The Kallikaks to The Kallikaks: Hillbilly Elegy and the Legacy of Eugenics”
Ron Howard’s popular adaptation of JD Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy treated the New York Times bestselling book as an answer to the politics of Appalachia, offering insight into understanding Trump’s popularity. Yet with Trump’s recent endorsement of Vance for a Senate run, this reading of Vance’s text requires an update. One that looks to the larger context of hillbilly-themed representations. American eugenics offers such a view. For over 100 years the American eugenics movement used the hillbilly stereotype to justify its surveillance, categorization, institutionalization, and sterilization of what they called “defectives” in promoting its image of “whiteness.” Popular media was an integral part of these efforts. The foundational narrative of the American eugenics movement, Goddard’s 1912 text The Kallikaks is also the name of a hillbilly-themed sitcom produced in 1977. Utilizing Lisa Cartwright’s Screening the Body, Tracing Medicine’s Visual Culture, this article argues that the narrative of the hillbilly stereotype in American eugenics has been an integral part of cinema and television history, extending back to the motion studies. A history that finds its extension in Howard’s adaptation of JD Vance’s book, Hillbilly Elegy.

期刊介绍: Film Criticism is a peer-reviewed, online publication whose aim is to bring together scholarship in the field of cinema and media studies in order to present the finest work in this area, foregrounding textual criticism as a primary value. Our readership is academic, although we strive to publish material that is both accessible to undergraduates and engaging to established scholars. With over 40 years of continuous publication, Film Criticism is the third oldest academic film journal in the United States. We have published work by such international scholars as Dudley Andrew, David Bordwell, David Cook, Andrew Horton, Ann Kaplan, Marcia Landy, Peter Lehman, Janet Staiger, and Robin Wood. Equally important, FC continues to present work from emerging generations of film and media scholars representing multiple critical, cultural and theoretical perspectives. Film Criticism is an open access academic journal that allows readers to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, and link to the full texts of articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose except where otherwise noted.
