摘要

電影政策的研究如何揭示電影審查的權力機制及其文化政治的本質?在政治和市場的約束下,審查制度又如何影響電影製作的美學和自我定位?本文將聚焦英殖香港、台灣和中國這三個地緣政治區域,探討英國在殖民地實行的電影審查制度的影響,以及冷戰時期電影革命對中國政治的指涉。 1970至80年代期間,英殖香港的電影審查員改變了以往審查策略,從打壓中國大陸的電影變成禁止在香港放映可能會冒犯中國的電影。從這種策略上的改變可以看出跨地域“走私”音像影視對意識形態和宣傳領域的獨特影響。在當時的香港和台灣,放映和觀看有關「中國」的電影受到官方的嚴格監控,以杜絶可能惹是生非的公眾現象和政治話語。本文將呈現冷戰時期的港台電影及其在中國和中國性這兩個概念上模棱兩可的表達,研究在這種視覺記錄中,人們面對和處理殖民主義、中國民族主義和冷戰跨國政治等問題的過程。
