摘要

在研究俄罗斯和东欧秘密警察档案的新方向中,我们注意到一种对视觉的关注。这篇文章是一项研究工作的一部分,旨在解决长期被忽视的秘密警察档案的视觉方面,特别关注电影。它调查了警察和电影在使用视觉识别策略时的纠缠,重点是面部照片和特写之间的关系。我认为,在处理秘密警察档案的视觉方面时,如果我们只看图像本身,我们就没有抓住重点。这些图像以特定的观看、解读和解释方式嵌入其中,他们被进一步指派通过我所称的视觉教学法来教授观众。这种视觉教学法的主要关注点是教公民如何看待,我认为,通过彼此来看到隐藏在看似无辜的面孔后面的“敌对分子”。这种视觉教学法的试金石是脸,电影和警察合作教导公民不信任视觉外表,看穿隐藏在他们中间的内部敌人。如果不识别和理解这种视觉教学法,我们就有可能只看到这些视觉收藏的冰山一角。关于秘密警察档案的视觉方面的参考文献仍然有限,但正在增长。一些亮点是由James Kapaló领导的研究团队创建的在线隐藏画廊,以及相关展品和展览目录;由Andrea Gullotta和the Hunterian组织的在线展览《地狱之美:古拉格文化》;Tatiana Vagramenko关于秘密警察在监视和调查宗教团体期间制作的视觉记录的工作;阿格拉娅·格莱博娃的短小精悍的文章《十篇论文中的古拉格视觉史》;和

The Mug Shot and the Close-Up: Identification and Visual Pedagogy in Secret Police Film
Among the new directions in the study of secret police archives in Russia and Eastern Europe, we notice an emerging preoccupation with the visual. This article is part of a research effort to grapple with the long-overlooked visual aspects of secret police archives, with a particular attention to film. It investigates the entanglement of policing and cinema in their uses of visual identification strategies, with a focus on the relationship between the mug shot and the close-up. I argue that in grappling with the visual aspects of the secret police archives, we are missing the point if we just look at the images themselves. These images were embedded in particular ways of seeing, deciphering, and interpreting, which they were further tasked to teach their viewers through what I designate as their visual pedagogy. The main concern of this visual pedagogy was to teach citizens how to look at and, I will argue, through each other to see the “hostile elements” hiding behind apparently innocent faces. The litmus test of this visual pedagogy was the face, and cinema and policing collaborated in teaching citizens to distrust visual appearances and see through the internal enemies hiding in their midst. Without identifying and understanding this visual pedagogy, we run the risk of seeing only the tip of the iceberg of these visual collections. The bibliography on the visual aspects of secret police archives is still limited, but it is growing. Some highlights are the online Hidden Galleries created by a team of researchers headed by James Kapaló, as well as the related exhibits and exhibit catalogue; the online exhibit Beauty in Hell: Culture in the Gulag, organized by Andrea Gullotta and The Hunterian; Tatiana Vagramenko’s work on the visual records produced by the secret police during surveillance and investigation of religious groups; Aglaya Glebova’s short but provocative article “A Visual History of the Gulag in Ten Theses”; and

期刊介绍: A leading journal of Russian and Eurasian history and culture, Kritika is dedicated to internationalizing the field and making it relevant to a broad interdisciplinary audience. The journal regularly publishes forums, discussions, and special issues; it regularly translates important works by Russian and European scholars into English; and it publishes in every issue in-depth, lengthy review articles, review essays, and reviews of Russian, Eurasian, and European works that are rarely, if ever, reviewed in North American Russian studies journals.
