ABSTRACT

This essay offers an account of the persistence of the chase sequence. Tracing the histories and theories of the chase as a cine-genre and analyzing its recurrence within Siegfried Kracauer’s Theory of Film, I argue that the chase sequence’s continued appeal is rooted in its unique connection to the built environment, and can be seen as a generic form for cinema’s staging of the interplay between the abstract forces that produce this environment and the concrete experiences of a physical world that is overwritten by these forces.

穿越虚空的高速公路：追逐序列和建筑环境

摘要

这篇文章对追逐序列的持续性进行了描述。追溯作为电影类型的追逐的历史和理论，并分析其在 Siegfried Kracauer 的电影理论中的重现，我认为追逐序列的持续吸引力植根于其与建筑环境的独特联系，并且可以被视为一种通用电影的舞台形式是产生这种环境的抽象力量与被这些力量覆盖的物理世界的具体体验之间的相互作用。
