商品描述
Chinese martial arts cinema is held to be a synthesis drawing on artistic conventions of traditional Chinese theatre. Film sound and music perform as the legitimate heirs of some of the aesthetic ideas and norms of traditional Chinese theatre. This book critically examines the history of this under-explored field of inquiry from a theoretically comparative perspective, demonstrating that the musical codes drawn from traditional theatre are a constantly changing component integral to Chinese martial arts cinema. It explores the interaction between traditional Chinese theatre and Chinese martial arts cinema in how the musical codes of the former have shaped the aesthetics of the latter uniquely. This departs from conventional existing studies that focus on "adaptation." The book's historical and theoretical approach connects film, theatre and music, and re-defines the status of distinctive domains of filmic expression, grounding theatre as the pivot - or "hinge" - of film aesthetics. Thebook proffers this unique angle of research to rethink and re-imagine film sound and audiovisual synchronisation. Primarily intended for scholars in Chinese cinema, film music, Chinese theatre and visual culture, this monograph also presents introductory and comprehensive material for undergraduate and graduate-level courses in film and media studies, film music, Chinese cinema, and Chinese theatre.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
中國武術電影被認為是一種綜合藝術,吸取了傳統中國戲劇的藝術慣例。電影音效和音樂被視為傳統中國戲劇美學思想和規範的合法繼承者。本書從理論比較的角度批判性地檢視了這個未被充分探索的研究領域的歷史,並證明了從傳統戲劇中提取的音樂規範是中國武術電影中不斷變化的重要組成部分。本書探討了傳統中國戲劇與中國武術電影之間的互動,以及前者的音樂規範如何獨特地塑造了後者的美學。這與現有研究主要關注“改編”的傳統有所不同。本書的歷史和理論方法將電影、戲劇和音樂聯繫在一起,重新定義了電影表達的獨特領域的地位,將戲劇作為電影美學的中心軸或“鉸鏈”。本書提供了這種獨特的研究角度,以重新思考和重新想像電影音效和視聽同步。本書主要針對中國電影、電影音樂、中國戲劇和視覺文化的學者,同時也為本科和研究生課程提供了入門和全面的材料,包括電影和媒體研究、電影音樂、中國電影和中國戲劇。
