ABSTRACT

The city symphony, which explores the new arrangements of space and time in modernity through montage and photogeny, displays the core characteristics of a cine-genre. However, this famously non-narrative form also contains stubbornly narrative elements, expressed as rhythm, that open onto possibilities for reflexive as well as urban critique. By exploring these elements in Tan Pin Pin’s In Time to Come (2017), I show how the city symphony as cine-genre encompasses a striking heterogeneity of form, offering an excavation of the rules that regulate urban existence.

讲述彼此的故事：城市交响乐和电影类型叙事

摘要

《城市交响曲》通过蒙太奇和摄影手法探索现代性的时空新安排，展现了电影流派的核心特征。然而，这种著名的非叙事形式也包含顽固的叙事元素，表现为节奏，为反思和城市批判提供了可能性。通过探索谭品品的《即将到来》（2017）中的这些元素，我展示了作为电影类型的城市交响乐如何包含惊人的形式异质性，从而挖掘出规范城市存在的规则。
