6月16日,美国杜克大学研究者Chantel Griffin女士应外国语学院邀请,在翠西校区三楼国际报告厅,做了题为“(Mis)Represented on the Silver Screen?—Black Academy Award Winners and African American Identity(银幕中的呈现(误现)?黑人奥斯卡奖获得者及其非裔美国人身份)”的学术报告。本次讲座由刘亚萍副教授主持,外国语学院全体教师和一年级学生参加了讲座。
讲座中,Chantel Griffin以反映和代表美国文化的奥斯卡电影为切入点,追溯了1940-2017数届黑人奥斯卡奖获得者的银幕形象,批判性地探析了电影中黑人及黑人女性被呈现时可能引起的暴力、罪恶及奴役化的联想,揭示了黑人在美国社会有意或无意中被注入的种族偏见。Griffin在讲座中声情并茂, 绘声绘色, 其非裔美国人的身份与视角深刻而独到, 为我院师生带来了一次非常精彩的跨越文化和地域的思想交流。讲座结束后,在座师生与Chantel Griffin女士就美国黑人身份、电影中的形象变化的思考,以及文化自信等方面的进行了热烈的讨论。
此次的学术讲座不仅促进了我院教师学术研究的中外交流,也丰富和拓宽了学生的专业知识和学术视野,有利于我院师生学术研究维度向更为多元化的方向发展。
