摘要
这篇文章着眼于Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje (1955;(以下简称JJPB)和Geet Gaya Pattharon Ne (1964;(以下简称GGPN),都是由印度传奇电影制作人拉贾拉姆·凡库德·尚塔拉姆(1901 - 1990;通常被称为V. shanaram)。这两部商业片都是以男主角的艺术天赋为基础,以女主角的英雄牺牲为支撑。我们使用努斯鲍姆的客观化概念来介绍和分析他们的情节——个人关系中包含了对自由的不断斗争,因为一个人要么把别人当作对象(从而破坏了他们的自由),要么允许别人把他们当作对象(从而破坏了他们自己的自由)。无论哪种方式,某人的自由都受到了损害。这些电影展示了女性主人公是如何被期望为伴侣牺牲自己的事业和生活的——这个主题在两千多年前的《南阿雅那》中首次被提出。
The Objectification of Women in V. Shantaram’s Films
This essay looks at Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje (1955; hereafter JJPB), and Geet Gaya Pattharon Ne (1964; hereafter GGPN), both made by the legendary Indian filmmaker, Rajaram Vankudre Shantaram (1901–90; generally known as V. Shantaram). These two commercial films are both based on the male protagonist’s artistic talents, supported by their female counterparts’ heroic sacrifices. We introduce and then analyze their plots, using Nussbaum’s concept of objectification—personal relationships involving a constant struggle over freedom as one either treats others as objects (so undermining their freedom) or allows them to be treated by others as an object (undermining their own freedom). Either way, someone’s freedom is compromised. The films demonstrate how the female protagonists are expected to sacrifice their careers and lives for their partners—a theme first broached with the role of Sīta in the R am ayana more than two millennia ago.
期刊介绍:
Visual Anthropology is a scholarly journal presenting original articles, commentary, discussions, film reviews, and book reviews on anthropological and ethnographic topics. The journal focuses on the study of human behavior through visual means. Experts in the field also examine visual symbolic forms from a cultural-historical framework and provide a cross-cultural study of art and artifacts. Visual Anthropology also promotes the study, use, and production of anthropological and ethnographic films, videos, and photographs for research and teaching.
