lgBtQ+(女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人、酷儿和其他性身份和性取向)社区一直在努力实现社会接受、政治代表和对其公民权利的承认。他们的要求是对历史上遭受的排斥和压迫的回应。即使在今天,这一斗争仍在许多国家继续。婚姻和收养的平等权利尚未在所有社会得到承认,在一些国家,性多样性甚至被判处死刑。视听媒体,特别是电影,不仅可以作为生产和创造现实的工具,而且可以作为现实和社会变化的反映(Gross;威廉姆斯),例如在认识性别多样性时。与学校或家庭等机构所扮演的角色相比,媒体在社交方面发挥着关键作用(Rosengren 6)。电影作为20世纪最具影响力的媒体,反映了LGBTQ+社区的斗争,反映了人类历史上关于公民权利和政治权利进步的重要时期。这是通过不同渠道进行的。第一个频道包括商业电影和主流电影,这些电影通常来自好莱坞和美国。作为主要的电影“超级制片人”之一,好莱坞工业已经塑造了市场,统治了票房,影响了电影的内容。然而,在过去的几十年里,作为吸引不同文化市场和反映全球受众多样性的一种方式,内容也反映了跨国化(Crane 378)。反映这些变化的第二个场所是独立电影院,尽管它们的目标是,传统上,相当少数的观众。虽然这两种制作模式——所谓的主流电影和独立电影——都参与了LGBTQ+社区的角色和主题的呈现,但它们被以不同的、往往相反的方式解码。独立电影,包括纪录片和先锋电影,在一定程度上被概念化为对“美国(异性恋)电影制作的主导模式”的回应,因此,被认为是“酷儿”(Benshoff和Griffin, queer Images: a History 11)。另一方面,对于其他作者来说,定义酷儿电影的参数是多样化和流动的,超越了二元分类。酷儿在这里被理解为可以通过不同类型的电影院呈现的一个组成部分,在电影制作人中表现出不同形式的酷儿表现和参与/认同(Schoonover和Galt 15)。mAnuel博士HernÁnDeZ-pÉreZ是英国曼彻斯特索尔福德大学数字媒体讲师和数字媒体与扩展现实主任。他的研究重点是媒体研究和数字叙事。JuAn博士JosÉ sÁnCHeZ-soriAno是西班牙马德里雷胡安卡洛斯大学传播学讲师。他的研究兴趣与LGBTIQ+研究领域有关。构建LGBTQ+全球影院的时间表(1910-2019):来自协作互联网影院数据库的电影制作趋势

in recent years, several scholarly works (e.g., Broughton; Johnson et al.; Mitchell) have revisited one of the oldest genres in film history—the Western—to examine its lasting appeal and its ability to reinvent itself through hybridization with other genres. However, when genre hybridization is considered, research often focuses on so-called weird hybrids1 (see Green; Johnson et al.) or “darker” varieties such as noir and crime fiction crossovers (e.g., Mitchell or Monticone). Joe Johnston’s Hidalgo (2004) is unusual in this context, and its ambiguous reception at the time of its release highlights some of the problems that arise when genre conventions are taken too much at face value. A closer analysis of the film, therefore, might demonstrate the value of looking beyond obvious genre tropes toward wider cinematic trends. While Hidalgo was largely dismissed by critics reading it as a Western, I will argue that the film is better understood as part of the revival of spectacular epic cinema at the turn of the millennium, appearing alongside a number of epic films that explored, broadly speaking, a clash of cultures through mythic-historic narratives.2 As such, the film adds another dimension to current debates about the Western, as Hidalgo’s nostalgic-ironic reframing of traditional Western tropes together with elements of the epic and the adventure film offers a contemporary mash-up of myths that reflects the global audiences at which it is aimed. As Johnson et al. note, “one of the distinctive features of the western” is perhaps that it can “form unexpected combinations with other genres,” creating odd resonances between those genres (2). Through its playful engagement with the Western, Hidalgo not only offers a novel hybrid and an entertaining spectacle; its self-conscious play with generic conventions also can help us to critically assess the Western’s most iconic features. Hidalgo portrays the journey of rundown Western rider Frank T. Hopkins (Viggo Mortensen) and his mustang Hidalgo, who participate in a spectacular race across the Arabian Desert. Yet it is also a journey of self-discovery that highlights contemporary concerns about identity, ethnicity, and class as it reshapes traditional Western patterns. As noted previously, I suggest that Hidalgo is better understood in the context of several blockbuster epics that appeared in the same period and explored the conflict between Western and non-Western ideals. For example, Ridley Scott’s Alexander (dir. 2004) featured, among other things, the eastward conquest of the ancient Macedonian king, while Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy (2004) showed the conflict between the nation-states of Greece and the Eastern people of Troy. The 2004 version of King Arthur (dir. Antoine Fuqua) reframes the Riding East—Western Myths, Nostalgia, and the Crossing of Generic Boundaries in Hidalgo (2004)
