‘What did we prove?’: William Wyler’s The Big Country (1958) and the revisionism of Westerns “我们证明了什么?”:威廉·惠勒的《大国》(1958)和西部片的修正主义

The Western is widely seen as a cinematic means of embodying the American culture in which it was produced. The canonical dividing line between ‘classic’ and ‘revisionist’ Westerns coincides with the end of the Hays Code, when the Western genre, and American culture as a whole, underwent their most significant tonal shift. This article is primarily an analysis of a 1958 allegorical, classic and pacifist Western, The Big Country . This film promotes a revised attitude towards previously accepted moral conventions of violence within the genre and should thereby be understood as a revisionist work. Furthermore, The Big Country ’s pacifistic revisionism creates a stark contrast with canonical revisionist Westerns and thereby calls into question the criteria for classifying films as ‘classic’ or ‘revisionist’. Ultimately, I argue that the drastic shift in tone and theme in New Hollywood Westerns has obscured the revisionism inherent to the genre and perpetuated a reductive view of the variations, shifts and nuances of the thematic arguments of Westerns from Classical Hollywood.
西部片被广泛认为是一种体现美国文化的电影手段。“经典”西部片和“修正主义”西部片的分界线恰好出现在《海斯法典》的末期,当时西部片和整个美国文化经历了最重大的基调转变。本文主要分析1958年出版的寓言、经典、和平主义西部片《大国》。这部电影促进了对以前接受的暴力的道德惯例的修正态度,因此应该被理解为一个修正主义的工作。此外,《大国》的和平主义修正主义与典型的修正主义西部片形成了鲜明的对比,因此对电影分类为“经典”或“修正主义”的标准提出了质疑。最后,我认为新好莱坞西部片在基调和主题上的巨大转变掩盖了这一类型所固有的修正主义,并延续了对古典好莱坞西部片主题论点的变化、转变和细微差别的简化观点。

During the silent and early sound era, the Western became one of the most popular genres, making stars of actors like William S. Hart and Tom Mix. The genre ranged from epic Westerns such as The Covered Wagon (1923) and The Iron Horse (1924) through to quickly made B-movies, and even on to short parodies. The Western emerged from the silent era with a maturity not present in other genres, and its appeal only grew during the pre-code talkie era. At the same time, American film was exploring male sexuality and gender norms in a way that it would not be able to do again for several decades. This article traces the relationship between images of male queerness and intimacy within the Western during the first four decades of American filmmaking, from the early short films of 1894 through to the introduction of the Production Code in 1934.
在无声电影和早期有声电影时代,西部片成为最受欢迎的类型之一,威廉·s·哈特和汤姆·米克斯等演员成为明星。这种类型从史诗西部片,如《篷车》(1923)和《铁马》(1924),到迅速被制作成b级片,甚至是模仿短片。西部片诞生于无声电影时代,其成熟程度在其他类型电影中是不存在的,它的吸引力只在前密码有声电影时代增长。与此同时,美国电影正在以一种几十年来无法再做的方式探索男性性行为和性别规范。本文追溯了美国电影制作的前四十年,从1894年的早期短片到1934年《生产守则》的引入,西方电影中男性酷儿形象与亲密关系的关系。

Mechanisms of time in video game Westerns from Gun Fight to Red Dead Redemption 2 从《枪战》到《荒野大镖客:救赎2》的西部电子游戏中的时间机制

This article explores the video game Western and its relationship with ideas of temporality surrounding the American West. The fledgling video game industry first put ‘Cowboys and Indians’ on arcade screens in the 1970s, creating a playable digital West for gamers. Content and aesthetics proved decidedly simple, with game worlds reliant on prior filmic presentations. By the 2000s, thanks largely to technological advances, video game Westerns began to offer quantifiable depth and complexity, with Rockstar Games’s Red Dead Redemption series (2004–18) being a leading example. Video game Westerns represent the next technological as well as cultural representation of the ‘Wild West’ in all its complexities. In this article, I explore how both old and new video game Westerns have toyed with notions of ‘time’ and how we experience ‘the frontier’ a century on from the lived historic period. I argue that games not only invite players to (re)visit a distinctive ‘frontier time’, but also, by their coding and mechanics, actively encourage players to subvert the temporal flow of Western history on-screen and even disrupt the West’s larger cultural meaning.
本文将探讨电子游戏《西部》及其与美国西部的暂时性观念之间的关系。20世纪70年代,刚刚起步的电子游戏行业首次将《牛仔与印第安人》(Cowboys and Indians)搬上街机屏幕,为游戏玩家创造了一个可玩的数字西部。内容和美学非常简单,游戏世界依赖于之前的电影呈现。到了2000年代,多亏了技术的进步,电子游戏西片开始提供可量化的深度和复杂性,Rockstar Games的《荒野大镖客:救赎》系列(2004-18)就是一个典型的例子。电子游戏西部片代表了“狂野西部”所有复杂性的下一个技术和文化代表。在本文中,我将探讨新旧电子游戏西部片是如何玩弄“时间”概念的,以及我们是如何体验一个世纪后的“边疆”。我认为,游戏不仅邀请玩家(重新)访问一个独特的“前沿时间”,而且通过它们的编码和机制,积极鼓励玩家颠覆屏幕上西方历史的时间流,甚至破坏西方更大的文化意义。

Logan (2017) and the lost object of masculinity, or the trouble with Shane 洛根(2017)和失去的男子气概的对象,或麻烦与谢恩

James film, Logan , offers up a future world in which the X-Men are no more. All that remains are a few old and ravaged mutants, including Logan and Xavier whose worsening dementia is having a catastrophic impact on his psychic abilities that is becoming increasingly dangerous for others. Both of these former X-Men become roped into assisting a group of synthetic mutant children as they run from those who attempt to subdue and destroy them. Principal among these children is X-23, Laura, who has been created from Logan’s DNA. By staging this potential daughter along with a suggested queerness of the other mutant children the film seemingly offers up a critique of patriarchal ideologies often at the heart of the superhero genre. However, this article is concerned with the way the film intertextually references the 1953 Western film Shane , which creates an ambivalence in Logan’s meaning. The presence of Shane , the article argues, disturbs the surface gender critical storyline offering up instead the sense of a redemptive heroic masculinity that wrangles patriarchal ideology in through the backdoor.
詹姆斯的电影《洛根》描绘了一个没有x战警的未来世界。剩下的只有一些年老的、被蹂躏的变种人,包括洛根和泽维尔,他日益恶化的痴呆症对他的精神能力产生了灾难性的影响,对其他人来说越来越危险。这两个前x战警都被诱骗去帮助一群合成变种儿童,因为他们逃离了那些试图征服和摧毁他们的人。这些孩子中的主角是X-23劳拉,她是用洛根的DNA创造出来的。通过将这个潜在的女儿与其他变异孩子的酷儿性一起呈现,这部电影似乎对超级英雄类型的核心父权意识形态提出了批评。然而,本文关注的是这部电影与1953年的西部片《沙恩》相互引用的方式,这在洛根的意义上造成了矛盾。文章认为,沙恩的出现扰乱了表面的性别批判故事情节,取而代之的是一种救赎的英雄气概,通过后门与父权意识形态纠缠在一起。

Between reverence and rejection: Age and youth in the Vietnam era Western 在敬畏与拒绝之间:越南时代的年龄与青春
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-09-01 DOI: 10.1386/ejac_00104_1

The Western’s central theme of historical progression, the transition from the old to the new, is often symbolically paralleled in the relationship between ageing and youthful characters. This contribution offers a cursory overview of Westerns that illustrate the range of relationships between young and old at a time in American history which was characterized by generational clashes over the Vietnam War and wider (counter-)cultural movements. The focus will be on three films in particular. The Cowboys (1972) is in many ways the culmination of John Wayne Westerns in which the star takes over the role of a tough but benevolent grandfather figure teaching the youngest generation the ways of violence so as to defeat a wayward middle generation (standing in for a radical counter-culture), thus signifying a conservative ideal. In Bad Company (1972), the youth is abandoned by their parent generation, victimized by their elders, and the ways of violence forced upon them to ensure their survival, thus signifying liberal disillusionment. In The Shootist (1976), finally, disillusionment and nostalgia are fused in a complex portrayal of the ageing protagonist’s simultaneous doggedness and recognition of his own outmodedness and the youth’s simultaneous rejection and veneration of his mythic status.
西部片历史发展的中心主题,即从旧到新的过渡,通常在衰老和年轻角色之间的关系中具有象征意义。这篇文章对西部片进行了粗略的概述,说明了在美国历史上以越南战争和更广泛的(反)文化运动为特征的几代人的冲突时期,年轻人和老年人之间的关系。重点将集中在三部电影上。《牛仔》(1972)在很多方面都是约翰·韦恩·西部片的巅峰之作。在影片中,这位明星扮演了一个强硬但仁慈的祖父形象,他向年轻一代传授暴力的方法,以击败任性的中间一代(代表激进的反主流文化),从而象征着一种保守的理想。在《Bad Company》(1972)中,年轻人被他们的父辈抛弃,被他们的长辈所伤害,为了确保他们的生存,他们被迫使用暴力的方式,从而标志着自由主义的幻灭。最后,在《枪手》(1976)中,幻灭和怀旧交织在一个复杂的刻画中,年迈的主人公同时顽强地坚持,承认自己的过时,而年轻人同时拒绝和崇拜他的神话地位。

Between banjos, beaches and bending gender: Negotiating the queer rural space in Hannah Montana 在班卓琴、海滩和弯曲的性别之间:《汉娜·蒙塔娜》中的乡村酷儿空间谈判

This article explores queer and non-heteronormative subtexts in connection with representations of rurality in the Disney family sitcom Hannah Montana (2006-2011). The multi-layered world, which the protagonist Hannah Montana/Miley Stewart inhabits, is shaped by sexual undercurrents closely linked to an imagined rural space. This space is constructed as the ‘sexual other’ in relation to the gender and body politics of the show’s main setting: Mailbu, California. In particular, the protagonist’s original home state of Tennessee forms a cultural repertoire in which dominant norms of gender performativity are ignored or subverted. Certain hints at queer codes and practices become identifiable when the rural space is invoked and contrasted with the perceived, sanitized ‘sexual normativity’ of Southern California. Projecting the non-normative onto the rural allows Disney to protect the show’s image as so-called wholesome family entertainment. The resulting play with queer practices, such as gender-bending and cross-dressing, is shown to connect with Disney’s attempts to queercode characters and spaces in order to facilitate the effective marketing of the show across multiple segments in an increasingly multi-sexual teen market. The role of the extratextual personae of Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus complement this strategy, through their functioning as instructive models for ongoing negotiations of sexuality and gender among multi-generational audiences in the early twenty-first century.
本文探讨了迪士尼家庭情景喜剧《汉娜·蒙塔娜》(2006-2011)中与乡村表现相关的酷儿和非异性恋潜台词。主人公汉娜·蒙塔娜/麦莉·斯图尔特(Miley Stewart)所居住的多层次世界,是由与想象中的乡村空间密切相关的性暗流塑造的。这个空间被构建为“性他者”,与展览的主要背景——加州迈布的性别和身体政治有关。特别是,主人公的家乡田纳西州形成了一种文化剧目,在这种剧目中,性别表演的主导规范被忽视或颠覆。当乡村空间被唤起,并与南加州被感知的、净化的“性规范”形成对比时,酷儿规范和实践的某些暗示变得可识别。将不规范的内容投射到农村地区,让迪士尼得以保护节目作为所谓健康家庭娱乐节目的形象。由此产生的酷儿行为,如性别扭曲和异性扮装,被证明与迪士尼试图对酷儿角色和空间进行编码有关,目的是为了在日益多元化的青少年市场中促进该节目在多个细分市场的有效营销。麦莉·赛勒斯和比利·雷·赛勒斯的文本外角色补充了这一策略,通过他们作为二十一世纪初多代观众之间正在进行的性和性别谈判的指导模式。

Kenneth Lonergan’s Margaret and the politics of grievability: 9/11, allegory, mourning 肯尼斯·洛纳根的《玛格丽特与悲情政治:9/11,寓言,哀悼》
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-09-01 DOI: 10.1386/ejac_00096_1
Karim Townsend
This article examines Kenneth Lonergan’s film Margaret (2011), which can be viewed, I suggest, as an essential post-9/11 text. As I argue, the events of 9/11 serve within the film as the backdrop against which broader (geo)political questions of grievability are negotiated, as we see through the sprawling and pseudo-allegorical melodrama of the narrative, following a young woman who accidentally causes the death of a pedestrian by distracting a bus driver. In the first section of this article, I read the film’s geopolitical engagements alongside Judith Butler’s writing on grievability as well as Akira Mizuta Lippit’s writing on allegory. I suggest that the film’s uneasy allegorical imbrications gesture to a nexus of ethical and political questions regarding allegory and its rhetorical uses. In the second section, I examine the ways in which the film’s form and aesthetics bespeak a Derridean engagement with mourning and spectrality, ultimately gesturing to the United States’ grappling with the atrocities of the War on Terror and the attendant ontological instabilities arising in the haunted urban spaces of a post-9/11 New York City.
本文考察了肯尼斯·洛纳根(Kenneth Lonergan)的电影《玛格丽特》(Margaret, 2011),我认为这部电影可以被视为911事件后的重要文本。正如我所说的,9/11事件在电影中充当了一个背景,在这个背景下,更广泛的(地理)政治问题的悲情得到了讨论,正如我们看到的,通过叙事的蔓延和伪寓言情节剧,一个年轻女子因分散了公交车司机的注意力而意外导致了一名行人的死亡。在这篇文章的第一部分,我阅读了这部电影的地缘政治参与,以及朱迪思·巴特勒(Judith Butler)关于悲情的写作,以及明拉·水田·里皮特(Akira Mizuta Lippit)关于寓言的写作。我认为,这部电影令人不安的讽喻砖块暗示了关于寓言及其修辞用途的伦理和政治问题的联系。在第二部分,我考察了这部电影的形式和美学是如何表现出一种对哀悼和幽灵的Derridean式的参与,最终暗示了美国在反恐战争的暴行中挣扎,以及在9/11后纽约市闹鬼的城市空间中随之而来的本体论不稳定。

As I argue, the events of 9/11 serve within the film as the backdrop against which broader (geo)political questions of grievability are negotiated, as we see through the sprawling and pseudo-allegorical melodrama of the narrative, following a young woman who accidentally causes the death of a pedestrian by distracting a bus driver. In the first section of this article, I read the film’s geopolitical engagements alongside Judith Butler’s writing on grievability as well as Akira Mizuta Lippit’s writing on allegory.

The Western has been seen as a key genre for understanding both the American national character and the particulars of Hollywood, but there are now very few contemporary studies of this once foundational genre. The articles in this Special Issue, coming out of the Lonely Are the Brave conference of 2021, aim to revisit the Western, and the post-war Western specifically, in order to revive scholarship surrounding these texts, to interrogate existing models of understanding the history of the genre, and to examine how the genre treats ideas connected to time and its passing as attached to the American west and its depictions on-screen.
西部片一直被视为理解美国民族性格和好莱坞特色的关键类型,但现在很少有当代对这一曾经的基础类型的研究。本期特刊的文章来自于2021年的“孤独是勇敢”会议,旨在重新审视西部片,特别是战后西部片,以重振围绕这些文本的学术研究,质疑现有的理解该类型历史的模式,并研究该类型如何对待与时间有关的想法,以及它的流逝与美国西部及其在屏幕上的描绘有关。
