【摘要】：作为一份大型综合画报,《良友》以塑造二十世纪上半叶的摩登上海闻名于世。同时它也是对海外动态关注度最高的画报之一,在数千张相关的照片和报道中美国所占篇幅比重最大。《良友》所塑造的美国形象代表了民国时期普通民众对美国的看法。即使在当今时代,研究《良友》中的美国形象依然具有深远的意义,因为形象一旦形成将很难消散或改变,所以本文将《良友》作为个案分析其中所塑造的美国形象。本文以形象学为理论框架,采用主题分析和历史分析的研究方法探究以下两个问题:《良友》中的美国形象是什么,以及形象是如何形成的。本文研究发现,美国被刻画成一个科技发达、国富民裕、生机勃勃的现代乌托邦。前人对美国的描述和编辑对富国强民的追求共同塑造了这一形象。良友编辑把欲望投射到他者身上反观自我,美国作为被注视者像一面镜子折射出民国的落后和编辑对现代化的追求,同时诉说夹杂在模仿现代化美国和强烈民族意识中的自我焦虑。本文的贡献体现在两个方面。首先,本文从大众角度出发分析美国形象,《良友》作为二十世纪上半叶最受欢迎的通俗读物之一,在一定程度上代表大众趣味。研究发现美国被塑造成一个现代乌托邦。第二,本文以形象学为理论框架做异国形象分析,将中国语境里的美国形象和中国对现代化的追求相联系,中国对现代化的追求致使编辑将目光投向美国,并将其作为现代化的典范。但因中国和美国的差距过大,编辑过多强调两者的相异性,试图以一个现代化的美国取代落后封闭的中国,导致《良友》中的美国形象沦为幻象。
[Abstract]:As a large comprehensive pictorial, Friends is famous for shaping modern Shanghai in the first half of 20th century. It is also one of the most dynamic overseas pictorial newspapers. The United States accounts for the largest proportion of the thousands of related photos and reports. The image of Friends represents the way ordinary people thought of the United States during the Republic of China. The study of the American image in Friends is still of profound significance, because it will be difficult to dissipate or change the image once it is formed, so this paper takes Friends as a case study to analyze the image of the United States. Using the method of thematic analysis and historical analysis, this paper explores the following two questions: what is the image of America in Friends, and how the image is formed. This paper finds that the United States is characterized as a country with advanced technology and rich people. The vibrant modern utopia. The depiction of the United States by predecessors and the pursuit of the rich and the strong by the editors together shaped this image. The good friend editor projected his desire to the other and looked back at himself. The United States, as a watched person, reflects the backwardness of the Republic of China and the editors' pursuit of modernization, and at the same time tells the self-anxiety in imitating modern America and strong national consciousness. This paper analyzes the image of the United States from the perspective of the masses. As one of the most popular popular books in 20th century, Friends represents public interest to a certain extent. The study found that the United States was shaped as a modern utopia. Based on the theoretical framework of imageology, this paper makes a foreign image analysis, linking the American image in the Chinese context with China's pursuit of modernization, and the pursuit of modernization in China, which causes the editors to turn their eyes to the United States. But because the gap between China and the United States is too big, editors emphasize the difference between the two too much and try to replace the backward and closed China with a modern America, resulting in the image of America in Friends become illusion.
