Abstract

ABSTRACT This article discusses the responses from people in Aotearoa/New Zealand and New Zealanders overseas to the online questionnaire of the World Hobbit Project, an international audience research project on the reception of the film trilogy The Hobbit involving 145 researchers from 46 countries. As the trilogy was filmed in their home country, New Zealand audiences were uniquely positioned to interpret The Hobbit. ‘Affective resonance’ played a role in relation to three interrelated issues that Aotearoa/New Zealand is struggling with as a postcolonial nation: the use of the landscape, the representation of race and the notion of greed. In all three cases, audiences saw parallels between the narrative of The Hobbit, the context of the trilogy’s production and longstanding issues resulting from Aotearoa/New Zealand’s colonial history.

在新西兰观看《霍比特人》:风景、种族和贪婪的情感共鸣
摘要本文讨论了新西兰奥特亚人和海外新西兰人对世界霍比特人项目在线问卷的回应。该项目是一个关于电影三部曲《霍比特人》接收情况的国际观众研究项目,涉及46个国家的145名研究人员。由于三部曲是在新西兰拍摄的,新西兰观众在解读《霍比特人》方面处于独特的地位情感共鸣”在三个相互关联的问题上发挥了作用,这三个问题是新西兰作为一个后殖民国家正在努力解决的:景观的使用、种族的代表和贪婪的概念。在这三种情况下,观众都看到了《霍比特人》的叙事、三部曲的制作背景以及奥特亚/新西兰殖民历史引发的长期问题之间的相似之处。
