摘要:	本計畫將探究在電視影集和迷你影集中出現的新視覺奇幻文類。這些每週播出的連續作品利用其較長的演出時間以及其它文類公式（狗血劇、恐怖、黑色劇碼等等）來創造結局開放的敘事，使得人物個性的發展更為複雜，也更難達成終結。電視影集Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel , Witchblade以及迷你劇集The Mists of Avalon及Earthsea中的女主角都有著過人的魔法、自信、甚至在性方面很活躍，這些都來自女性主義以及同志運動的文化敘事。我將分析這些不完全被當成常識的敘事，如何仍然提供了一個視覺的和言說的語言，以連續劇的方式處理一套差異的、且難以視覺化的情感。這個視覺的、言說的語言不但是針對劇中愛恨交織的慾望，也針對了劇中不斷呈現的培力過程。我將特別分析這些強而有力的女性角色如何在劇中作為承載的工具，以迂迴處理那些被形式平等論述所否認的不平等愛情，使這個愛情能夠持續為道德主體不可迴避的無意識（替身、影子、分身、潛伏的另一個自我）提供愉悅（這些不平等戀情多半以後人類或跨物種的形式出現），也使它能夠為道德行動抉擇的難解之謎提供愉悅（例如「命運」在劇中扮演自相背反的培力女性角色）。這些深度的矛盾在後現代的表面上、在權利論述的透明主體性中都被否認、被消音了。在本計畫的前兩年中，我將找出並且分析Buffy the Vampire Slayer(第一年)與The Mists of Avalon(第二年)這兩齣影集為難以言說和經常被否認的情感，創造出一種視覺化語言的架構。這個探究的方向將為這些影集的文化重要性提供新的理由，例如，它們創造了一個據點讓這些難以言說的情感得以再現，若非如此，這種女性培力就無法（很具體的）視覺化，而那些非女性主義的情緒、政治不正確的慾望、或無法解決的愛恨交織，也將因此被視為不可取的情感。在本計畫的最後一年，我將探究這些問題及其他問題如何在圍繞著這些文本和其想像族群的網路文化中被討論，這些問題分別是：Buffyverse中廣泛的網路影迷族群，和新世紀靈性運動(New Age Spirituality Movements)與其網路社群在影迷對The Mists of Avalon 作出的回應中所扮演的角色。 ; My project explores the new fantasy visual culture genres as they have developed in television series and miniseries. These series (like fantasy novels that can be written into sequel after sequel) exploit their longer running time and other generic formulas (melodrama, horror, noir, etc.) to create open-ended narratives, allowing characters’ development to be both more complex and less able to achieve closure. The strength (magical powers, assertiveness, and sometimes sexual prowess) of the female characters in series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Witchblade and in mini-series such as The Mists of Avalon and Earthsea is derived from the cultural narratives of feminism and gay and lesbian empowerment. I will analyze how these not necessarily taken for granted cultural narratives still manage to provide a visual and spoken language in serial form that is actually negotiating quite a different, difficult to visualize set of affects that is as much about ambivalent desires as it is about the empowerment that is repeatedly displayed. Specifically I will address how these strong female characters operate as vehicles for the negotiation of the continued pleasures of unequal love (represented as post-human or trans-species) denied by the discourses of formal equality, for the haunted depths of the ethical subject (doubles, shadows, submerged alter-egos), and for the conundrums of choice in the conception of ethical action (e.g. the paradoxical role of “destiny” in empowering female characters). These are depths and contradictions that are disavowed or rendered inarticulate in the surfaces of postmodernity and in the demands for transparent subjectivity in rights discourse. During the first two years of the project I will identify and analyze the structures of visual language that Buffy (the first year) and The Mists of Avalon (the second year) create for the representation of difficult and often disavowed affects. This line of inquiry offers a new reason for the cultural importance of these series; namely, that they create a venue for what cannot be otherwise (e.g “realistically”) visualized without figuring simply as undesired affect: un-feminist predispositions, politically incorrect desires, or irresolvable ambivalence. In the final year, I will investigate how these and other questions are taken up within the internet cultures that have developed around these texts and their imagined communities: respectively, the extensive internet-based fan communities of Buffyverse, and the role of new age spirituality movements and internet communities in fan responses to Mists. ; 研究期間 9708 ~ 9807
