애국적 대중의 탄생 ― 신중국 제1회 백화영화제(1962)를 중심으로

Abstract

This dissertationis primarily concerned with the First Baihua Film Festival held in Beijing in 1962. Baihua Film Festival hosted by Dazhong Dianying, a film magazine, was a kind of banquet where political leaders, public media, film makers and audience could mingle together. Specifically, this study focuses on demonstrating the way the public of new China established the identity on the relationship of various social powers based on the source of emotion called “pleasure”. In this light, the study explores what kind of identity they have formed. The analysis hence engages three intimately linked realms of inquiry. Firstly, this inquiry concentrates on the emotions of rupture and enthusiasm in relation to Dazhong Dianying which whipped up the public nationwide when the notice concerning the Baihua Award of Dazhong Dianying was put up. Meanwhile, there was continuing feedback among the editor and the readers over the magazine in the process of poll. On this view, this study represents an attempt to think about the standpoint through which intellectuals and the public came to encounter one another. Secondly, this study focuses on analyzing the body images of Cui Wei and Zhu Xijuan who were honored with the best actor award and the best actress one respectively, noticing the way the film festival depended on the poll. In this way, this study pays attention to the point of view the public pursued at that time. Thirdly, this study traces the process through which the dream of constructing “New China” and developing “Chinese Movies” became a major pursuit of political leaders, movie directors, and the public as they participated in the diverse cultural events concerned with Baihua Film Festival.
