Pearl Harbor: How Film Conquers History

One of the epic moments in the American political experience, Pearl Harbor has been the subject of continuous historical analysis as well as cinematic documentation and representation—and remains a topic of debate to this day. As the event which triggered US entry into World War II, it fundamentally altered the way Americans came to view the global arena and the US place within it. Although Pearl Harbor at the time symbolized national defeat and humiliation at the hands of the Japanese, the event has been celebrated in endless ceremonies, rituals, books, TV specials, monuments, and movies, emerging as a defining moment of the “good war” legacy. This article explores the distinctive film output associated with Pearl Harbor, with particular focus on Michael Bay's 2001 blockbuster Pearl Harbor, and argues that this movie (among others) so systematically distorts and mystifies the actual historical record as to thoroughly “remake” the event and everything surrounding it for public consumption.

电影台词翻译与系统功能语言学中的语气

系统功能语言学理论可用于翻译研究,从文献看,应用该理论进行语篇和文体分析的研究已有很多,但将其用于影视翻译方面的探讨还不多见。本文结合系统功能语言学当中人际功能的语气对英汉影视翻译研究进行了初步的探讨,分析了影视翻译中译文对原文的语气保持和改变两种情况,并简要分析了情景语境对语气的影响,结果表明语气分析对影视翻译具有参考价值,给提高影视翻译水平带来很大启示。

Film Policy in the United Kingdom: New Labour at the Movies

The article summarises key aspects of government intervention in the British film industry since the election of a Labour government in 1997. The process of amalgamating a variety of existing institutions (including British Screen, the British Film Commission and the Arts Council's Lottery Film Department) into the new UK Film Council is described and the implications for developments in the English regions is considered. The issue of the continuing American dominance of the industry is explored and this is related to the contentious concept of an economically 'sustainable' domestic industry. In conclusion it is proposed that more careful attention be given to the cultural and educational implications of current policy.

影视产业国家促进的法制建构——以财税优惠政策为视角

自2018年影视行业补税风潮以来,影视行业的税收问题就成为实务界关注的焦点,然而影视行业的税收问题不仅是自查自纠、或是改变核定征收方式,更应该追本溯源检讨其源头。本文试对以财税优惠为代表的特定的产业政策是否能够发挥其功能、国家促进影视行业所应遵循的法治路径和扮演的角色定位等实践与理论问题予以思考、回应。文章对影视产业相关优惠政策的完善提出了建议,即财税优惠作为国家权力,首先,应遵循基本的权力限制原则,即实现财税优惠的法治化,既包括政策制定也包括执行环节;其次,优惠政策不能沦为企业规避法定义务的工具,即优惠政策的适用主体也应遵循从形式到实质的标准;最后,优惠政策应有合理的绩效评价和效应分析。
