摘要

本文分析了疾病在电影中作为种族概念化方式的延续和变化--比较了二战前和二战后制作的五部描述流行病的电影。在 20 世纪 30 年代的电影中,非白人往往被动地接受援助以应对流行病--这是一种家长式的白人救世主叙事,但并非总是 "心存感激",有时还会直接反抗。在这里,流行病植根于经济 "欠发达 "的实际场所,并通过以种族或民族为界限的 "前现代 "文化习俗进一步延续,同时与其他性别和社会经济类别交织在一起。战后,虽然 "白骑士 "等一些电影套路仍在继续,但出现了其他叙事,包括不再强调其他环境是疾病的中心(疾病的 "潜伏"),而是对接受者(通常是白人)社区内出现的疾病更加警惕。

From Disease Incubation to Disease Receipt: Representing Epidemics and Race in Pre- and Post-Second World War American Cinema (1931–1939 and 1950–1962)
This article analyses continuities and changes in how disease has been instrumentalised in cinema as a way of conceptualizing race—comparing five films depicting epidemics produced before the Second World War and five after. In the 1930s films, non-white populations often passively accept assistance in dealing with epidemic disease—a paternalistic white savior narrative—but not always with “gratitude”, and sometimes direct resistance. Here, epidemics take root in physical sites of economic “underdevelopment”, perpetuated further by perceived “premodern” cultural practices demarcated down the lines of race or ethnicity, and intersect with other gendered and socio-economic categories. After the war, while some cinematic tropes such as the “white knight” continue, other narratives emerge including a shift in emphasis away from the Othered environment as the nexus of disease (the disease’s “incubation”), and towards greater alarm about the appearance of disease within recipient, frequently white, communities.
