重构时间：论面容的叙事力量

时间见证了面容从诞生、衰老到消逝的全过程.论文以面容所承载的时间性及其叙事意味为研究对象,以皱纹、疤痕、遗照、修图技术为例,揭示面容与时间的相互关系,论述了在时间维度上面容独特的叙事力量:重构时间.皱纹的累积,展示了时间的图像化过程;面容上的疤痕,具有明确的指向性和故事性;逝者的遗照,承载了个人时间的终止和情感的延续.放眼于当下,人们利用修图技术对照片上的面容进行修改,淡化或加重面容的时间痕迹,营造出错乱的时间效果,呈现出叙事文本的异化状态.面容是时间在人类身上明显而直观的反映,在某种意义上说,面容的叙事力量在于重构了时间.

Reconstructing Time: on the Narrative Power of Faces

Time witnessed the whole process of a face from birth to decay.This paper took the timeliness carried by face and its narrative meaning as the research objects, took wrinkles, scars, portraits of the deceased and modification techniques as examples, revealed the relationship between face and time, and discussed the unique narrative power of face in the dimension of time: reconstructing time.The accumulation of wrinkles showed the graphical process of time; scars on the face have the clear directionality and story; the portraits of the deceased bear the end of personal time and the continuation of emotion. At present, people modify the faces in the photos with the help of modification techniques, which weakens or accentuates the time traces of the faces, creating an abnormal time effects and presenting the alienated state of the narrative text. Face is an obvious and intuitive reflection of time in human beings. In a sense, the narrative power of face lies in the reconstruction of time.
