外国电影中的藏文化“刻板印象”

文章以《喜马拉雅》、《盐程万里》、《色戒》、《旅行者与魔术师》等国外新近有关藏族文化的电影作品为研究对象,结合多元文化主义理论,分析了藏文化意象在这些电影作品中的“刻板印象”。文章认为,当代藏文化电影作品延续了过去西方白人文化的“香格里拉”印象,在现代文化的“他者”之维上,继续加强了藏文化作为文化另类的形象塑造。这种“刻板印象”的形成,在藏族文化认同方面有双重影响:促进了藏文化的传播,同时又形成了藏文化未来发展的障碍。

The Stereotype of Tibet in Contemporary Foreign Films

Based on the theory of multiculturalism,this paper carefully reads and analyzes the "other" image made by contemporary foreign films such as Himalaya,Salt Men of Tibet,Travelers and Magicians,Little Monk,etc.The paper points out that the contemporary Tibet image in these films came directly from the stereotype of Shangri-La,it is a stereotype of isolated Tibet made by and for westerners.The Shangri-La stereotype may help Tibet culture for a short while and will hurt it in a long run.
