Abstract

This article reflects on the complexities of doing animation history in relation to Lotte Reiniger, perhaps the most famous and prolific woman in animation but a figure who has been mythologized, marginalized and excluded from traditional film historical accounts. Beginning with a survey of existing scholarship, this article introduces the possibility of reading Reiniger as an ‘anachronist’ – one out of harmony with her own time – by drawing on the emerging field of media archaeology. The idea of Reiniger ‘out of time’ prompted a series of film society reconstructions, re-imagined from surviving archival materials (programmes, newspaper cuttings, letters) and presented to contemporary audiences on 16 mm and 35 mm prints. This article will reflect on the research, development and delivery of the re-enactments, bringing these experiments into dialogue with writings on media archaeology, reconstruction and performance theory. Film reconstructions are presented as a form of feminist media archaeology, which can offer an alternative to traditional chronological history.

“一个与她自己的时代不和谐的人”:洛蒂·赖尼格,时代错误和从电影社会重建做动画历史
这篇文章反思了与Lotte Reiniger有关的动画史的复杂性,她可能是动画界最著名、最多产的女性,但却是一个被神话化、边缘化和被排除在传统电影历史叙述之外的人物。本文从对现有学术的调查开始,通过借鉴新兴的媒体考古学领域,介绍了将Reiniger解读为“时代错误者”的可能性——一个与她自己的时代不和谐的人。Reiniger“不合时宜”的想法促使了一系列电影社会重建,从幸存的档案材料(节目、剪报、信件)中重新想象,并以16毫米和35毫米的版画呈现给当代观众。本文将反思重演的研究、发展和交付,将这些实验与媒体考古学、重建和表演理论的著作进行对话。电影重建被认为是女权主义媒体考古学的一种形式,它可以为传统的编年史提供一种替代方案。

期刊介绍: Especially since the digital shift, animation is increasingly pervasive and implemented in many ways in many disciplines. Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal provides the first cohesive, international peer-reviewed publishing platform for animation that unites contributions from a wide range of research agendas and creative practice. The journal"s scope is very comprehensive, yet its focus is clear and simple. The journal addresses all animation made using all known (and yet to be developed) techniques - from 16th century optical devices to contemporary digital media - revealing its implications on other forms of time-based media expression past, present and future.
