摘要/Abstract

摘要： 克拉考尔电影理论与建筑学的关系在国内外学界是一个尚待深入探索的领域,也是揭示其电影理论之真正内涵的密钥。建筑学背景不仅影响了克拉考尔早期电影理论关注“泛文本”而非“内文本”的研究偏好,生成了关注城市表层事物的“现代性”研究路径,更决定了贯穿其一生思想的“反自然主义”美学倾向以及对“精神性”的崇尚。通过论述“豪华电影宫”和“电影摄影棚”这两种典型的电影建筑,克拉考尔确立了“装饰”在其电影美学思想中的重要地位,建构了一种以“反自然主义”为核心的“解放的现实主义”。

Abstract: The relationship between Siegfred Kracauer's film theory and architecture is an under-researched area, and is also key to the quintessence of his film theory. The architectural background not only influenced Kracauer's early film theory, which focused on “pan-text” rather than “inner-text”, but has also gave rise to the “modern” research approach that focused on the superficial things of the city. This preference also determined the “anti-naturalist” aesthetic tendency and the reverence for “spirituality” throughout his life. By discussing two typical cinematic buildings such as the “luxury picture palace” and the “film studio”, Kracauer established the important position of “ornament” in his film aesthetics and constructed a kind of “liberating realism” with “anti-naturalism” at its core.

Key words: Siegfred Kracauer, anti-naturalism, film theory, architecture, realism
