摘要

摘要关于“新中国纪录片运动”的演变,人们写了很多文章——它从公开的、隐含的政治话题转变为更私人的、政治上不可知的立场,它拥抱数字视频,它与叙事电影的关系。在这些变化和解释这些变化的学术话语中,有两个主题一直保持不变:首先,现实感是一种被遮蔽和难以接近的东西。我们被告知,纪录片图像制作贯穿了政治和社会调解的各个层面,从视觉上屏蔽了日常生活。其次,尽管在中国从事纪录片实践和写作的人普遍投资于接触现实或真相的可能性,但这种形式通常被用丰富的隐喻性术语描述,比如揭开面纱或揭露真相。《工作中的男人》探讨了这些物质和服装隐喻的文学化如何塑造对纪录片的理解。它认为,裸体已经成为纪录片的一个重要子集中的一种普遍特征,它既是纪录片实践的象征,也是电影制作人的转喻,同时也释放了不可预测的、迄今为止理论化不足的欲望。

Men at work
Abstract Much has been written about the evolution of the “New Chinese Documentary Film Movement”—its shift from public and implicitly political topics to a more private and politically agnostic position, its embrace of digital video, its relationship with narrative film. Throughout these changes and the academic discourses that interpret them, two themes have remained constant: First, a sense of reality as something occluded and difficult to access. Documentary image making, we are told, cuts through the layers of political and societal mediation that screen everyday life from view. And second, despite a general investment in the possibility of accessing reality or truth among those who practice and write about documentary film in China, the form is generally described in richly metaphorical terms, as an unveiling or laying bare. “Men at Work” explores how the literalization of these corporeal and sartorial metaphors shapes understandings of documentary film. It argues that nudity has become a generic trait in an important subset of documentary films, where it functions as both a figure for documentary practice and a metonym for the filmmaker, while also unlocking unpredictable and heretofore under-theorized desires.
