摘要

本文通过感官、猜测和知识的三方视角，探索Dónal福尔曼2018年的散文电影《你错过的影像》。福尔曼用对话的方式讲述了他与父亲——已故的纪录片导演阿瑟·麦凯格(Arthur MacCaig)——之间的一生关系。一篇福尔曼和麦凯格对话形式的文章。他在这篇文章中探讨了父系关系作为传达他人的渠道:感觉与知识、纪实与报告、推测与事实。通过对这些不同形式的探索，本文认为，一个美学渲染的麦克凯格形象(通过音频采访和文本，保持了父亲在场的幻觉)在电影中表现为挥之不去的残余:档案的影响。文章断言，福尔曼的目的不是要从看过和没看过的镜头中培养出一个可以证实的父亲的真实形象，而是要从道德上制造一种对话，包括对关系本身的思考。本文发展了最近关于散文电影思维的学术研究，以探索被认为是散文形式形成的感觉和知识之间的分离关系。

Sense-value and the essay film: the speculative dimension of Dónal Foreman’s The Image You Missed (2018)

ABSTRACT This article explores Dónal Foreman’s 2018 essay film The Image You Missed through a trip-partite lens: sense, speculation and knowledge. Foreman navigates a life long relationship with a largely absent father, the deceased documentary filmmaker Arthur MacCaig, using a dialogic framework; an essay in the form of a conversation between Foreman and MacCaig. He turns to the essay to explore the paternal relationship as a conduit for others: sense and knowledge, documentary and reportage, speculation and fact. By exploring these in their various guises, this article argues that an aesthetically rendered image of MacCaig manifests (through audio interviews and texts that maintain the illusion of the father’s presence) as a residual haunting in the film: an affect of the archive. It is not Foreman’s aim, the article asserts, to cultivate a verifiably true image of his father from seen and unseen footage, but to ethically manufacture a dialogical conversation that involves thinking through the relationship itself. The article develops recent scholarship on the thinking of the essay film to explore the disjunctive relationship between sense and knowledge considered formative to the essay form.
