摘要

开放的道路也是民主的道路吗?本文以《女王与斯利姆》(2019)和《未怀孕》(2020)两部电影为视角，从2021年的角度探讨美国公路电影类型，以及当代电影叙事如何与种族和性别交叉。一部电影经常会走在另一部电影的道路上，这意味着这种类型的电影是自我参照的。文章分三部分展开，首先介绍了这两部电影，并调查了它们对公路电影类型的贡献。然后讨论了汽车和服装作为角色，最后考虑了监控，以及这些电影是如何串联起来的，反映了当代美国社会的温度。

Buddies, Lovers, and Detours: America and its Road Movies

Is an open road also a democratic one? Zooming in on two films—Queen & Slim (2019) and Unpregnant (2020)—this article discusses American road movie genre from the perspective of 2021, and how contemporary film narratives intersect with race and gender. One movie often drives in another film’s lane, meaning the genre is self-referential. Unfolding in three parts, the article begins by introducing these two films and surveying how they contribute to the road movie genre. It then discusses cars and clothing as characters and concludes by considering surveillance and how these films, in tandem, take the temperature of contemporary American society.
