This essay attempts to show that Tsai’s Stray Dogs (2013) offers a social critique of Taipei as a neoliberal, global, consumer city, and by so doing establishes a cinema of contemplation through such cinematic devices as the sustained long-take and slow, virtually still cinematic images. By developing Walter Benjamin’s formulation of the dialectical image, this essay explores the extent to which Tsai’s cinematic aesthetics reveals an aspect of the city which cannot be shown otherwise. It argues that his slow cinema creates a potentially revolutionary awakening in an audience accustomed to an immersive mode of cinematic experience which turns the suffering of others into a commodity and prevents a proper understanding of a societal phenomenon that calls for urgent attention. I compare the protagonist with other marginalized and destitute figures in such nineteenth-century literary texts as Dickens’s Sketches by Boz (1836), Baudelaire’s prose poem “Good Dogs” (1865-67), and Hamsun’s Hunger (1890), and those in the Sinophone films including Hou Hsiao-hsien’s The Sandwich Man (1983) and Jia Zhang-he’s Xiao Wu (1997).

忍受万岁:蔡明良的流浪狗与辩证法形象

本文试图证明蔡(Tsai)的流浪狗(Stray Dogs)(2013)对台北作为新自由主义,全球性消费城市的社会批评,并以此为借口,通过持续的长时间拍摄和缓慢拍摄等电影手段建立了一个沉思的电影院。仍然是电影图像。通过发展沃尔特·本杰明(Walter Benjamin)对辩证图像的表达,本文探讨了蔡(Tsai)的电影美学在多大程度上揭示了该城市的某个方面,而这是其他方面无法展现的。它认为,他的慢电影院在习惯于沉浸式电影体验的观众中产生了潜在的革命性觉醒,这种观众将他人的痛苦变成商品,并无法正确理解需要紧急关注的社会现象。我将主角与其他边缘化和贫困的人物在19世纪的文学著作中进行比较,例如狄更斯的《波茨的素描》(1836年),鲍德莱尔的散文诗《好狗》(1865-67年)和哈姆森的《饥饿》(1890年),以及华语电影包括侯孝贤的《三文治》(1983)和贾章河的《小吴》(1997)。卢冠文,“忍受长远之战:蔡明亮的流浪狗(2013)和辩证法形象”,第15页第2页CLCWeb:比较文学与文化21.5(2019):特殊问题的折磨,忍耐,反感。西蒙·埃斯(Ed。Simon Es tok),道格拉斯·伯曼(Douglas Berman)和弗兰克·史蒂文森(Frank Stevenson)以及在华语电影中的影片包括侯孝贤的《三文治》(1983)和贾章河的《小吴》(1997)。卢冠文,“忍受长远之战:蔡明亮的流浪狗(2013)和辩证法形象”,第15页第2页CLCWeb:比较文学与文化21.5(2019):特殊问题的折磨,忍耐,反感。西蒙·埃斯(Ed。Simon Es tok),道格拉斯·伯曼(Douglas Berman)和弗兰克·史蒂文森(Frank Stevenson)以及在华语电影中的影片,包括侯孝贤的《三文治》(1983)和贾章河的《小吴》(1997)。卢冠文,“忍受长远之战:蔡明亮的流浪狗(2013)和辩证法形象”,第15页第2页CLCWeb:比较文学与文化21.5(2019):特殊问题的折磨,忍耐,反感。西蒙·埃斯(Ed。Simon Es tok),道格拉斯·伯曼(Douglas Berman)和弗兰克·史蒂文森(Frank Stevenson)
