英文摘要 | Cultures built on the ideological promise of a dream life will have recourse to the metaphor of the nightmare when confronting moments of conflict in their evolutions. The feverish nightmare of the civil rights' struggles in the United States 60's was experienced by Norman Jewison (director of In the Heat of the Night in 1967) and known to Spike Lee (Malcolm X 1993). One stark difference in their heartfelt, didactic treatments of this tempestuous period is that Spike Lee's film remains fixed on the literal tensions of race relations in the U.S. Norman Jewison's film constructs a semiotics of the complicity between commercial imagery and narrative depictions of race relations, notably, the image of the South's soft drink industry as a thirst quenching alternative to true racial reform. Cinematographer Haskell Wexler is instrumental in highlighting these links. The article suggests Jewison's film as a pedagogic base for further considering how American corporate culture used and continues to use depictions of race to suppress real racial reform in its relations with the rest of the world. |
