摘要

与西方的战争片不同,印度战争片是一种相当边缘的类型,可以理解的是,在过去20年里,它很少受到评论界的关注。这些电影的传统美学记录和主题模板揭示了与英雄气概、卓越领导力和民族主义必胜信念有关的问题的明确参与。然而,像《War Chhod Na Yaar》(海德尔2013)和《Kya Dilli Kya Lahore》(拉兹2014)这样的电影明确谴责武装冲突的理想主义观念和表面上合理的暴力的耸人听闻的描绘。本文考察了构成这两部电影组织原则的冲突解决修辞。它展示了War Chhod Na Yaar如何通过对印度和巴基斯坦各自营长之间存在的幻想般的同志情谊的明显强调,话语性地讽刺了早期的印度战争电影。相比之下,Kya Dilli Kya Lahore的反战言论不仅在历史上处于分裂叙事的更大框架内,而且还受到男性气概的另一种配置的促进,这种配置反对领土分裂,支持情感团结和共同的生活经历。

Satire, masculinity and the rhetoric of conflict resolution in War Chhod Na Yaar and Kya Dilli Kya Lahore
Unlike its western counterparts, Hindi war films constitute a rather peripheral genre, one that has understandably received scant critical attention over the last two decades. The conventional aesthetic registers and thematic templates of these films reveal an explicit engagement with questions relating to heroic masculinity, exceptional leadership and nationalist triumphalism. And yet, movies such as War Chhod Na Yaar (‘Quit the war, dude’) (Haider 2013) and Kya Dilli Kya Lahore (‘Delhi and Lahore are not so different after all’) (Raaz 2014) categorically denounce idealistic notions of armed conflicts and sensationalized portrayals of ostensibly justified violence. This article examines the rhetoric of conflict resolution that constitutes the organizing principle of these two films. It demonstrates how War Chhod Na Yaar discursively satirizes the earlier Hindi war films through a pronounced emphasis on the fanciful camaraderie that exists between the respective battalion captains of India and Pakistan. By contrast, the anti-war rhetoric of Kya Dilli Kya Lahore is not only historically situated within the larger framework of Partition narratives, but is also facilitated by an alternative configuration of masculinity that resists territorial divisions in favour of affective solidarities and shared lived experiences.
