摘要

摘要Juliano Dornelles和Kleber Mendonça Filho的《Bacurau》(2019)在巴西和世界各地被大肆炒作。这部电影被广泛认为是对巴西社会的一种解读,巴西社会饱受掠夺性全球资本主义和美国帝国主义的蹂躏,再加上国家政治阶层的无能和腐败,导致了内陆人民极端暴力起义的幻想。尽管这部电影被政治右翼和中间派批评为宣传者或为不可接受的暴力辩护,但它很少受到左翼的批评。此外,许多评论和越来越多的学者指出,巴库劳借鉴了西方、科幻和恐怖等多种电影类型,制作了高度反射的文本,但在解释其与恐怖的关系方面却相对较少。这篇文章展示了巴库拉如何将恐怖电影的资源整合在一起,揭示了一个以反种族主义为主题的项目中白人的中心问题。

White Horror in Bacurau
Abstract Juliano Dornelles and Kleber Mendonça Filho’s Bacurau (2019) was released to significant hype in Brazil and around the world. The film has been widely received as an interpretation of Brazilian society as plagued by the ravages of predatory global capitalism and U.S imperialism combined with the ineptitude and corruption of the national political class, leading to a fantasy of ultra-violent uprising by the people of the interior. Although the film was criticized from the political right and center as propagandist or as defending unacceptable violence, it has received little critique from left perspectives. In addition, numerous reviews and an increasing body of scholarship have noted that Bacurau draws on a variety of film genres such as the Western, science fiction, and horror to produce its highly reflexive text, but relatively little has been done to interpret its engagement with horror. This essay shows how Bacurau’s incorporation of resources from horror cinema reveals a problematic centering of whiteness within a project that presents itself as anti-racist.
