本研究从现代主义对好莱坞艺术指导影响的最高点出发，重新审视了一部经典电影系列：雷电华广播电台1933年至1938年的阿斯泰尔-罗杰斯社会电影音乐剧。该研究利用主要证据，当代评论和20世纪30年代的批评性著作来说明一部电影系列的企业，社会和生产背景，有效地利用了从工作室人员到剧院赞助人的社会关系网络。本研究采用了Ernesto Laclau和Chantal Mouffe的衔接原则，解释了围绕电影的话语如何被必要地使用，以确保每部电影的成功，并提供持续的财务回报的可能性。在阿斯泰尔-罗杰斯系列中，电影文本中的各种元素，如舞蹈套路和现代主义家具，通过文本外的材料向观众表达，而渴望现代主义的视觉景观与真实的家庭和社会空间联系在一起。这项研究表明，这部电视剧为被动的观众提供的不仅仅是一个逃避现实的幻想，它通过身体和话语吸引观众，在银幕美学和经济成功之间建立了一种密切的联系。
This study revisits a classic film series from the high point of Modernism's influence on Hollywood art direction: RKO Radio's Astaire–Rogers society film musicals from 1933 to 1938. The study makes use of primary evidence, contemporary reviews, and critical writings from the 1930s to illustrate the corporate, social, and production contexts of a film series that made effective use of the networks of social relations extending from studio personnel to theater patrons. The study adopts the principle of articulation, drawn from Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, to explain how discourses surrounding the films were used by necessity to ensure success for each film and offer the possibility of continued financial return. In the Astaire–Rogers series, various elements of the film text, such as dance routines and modernist furnishings, were articulated to audiences through extratextual material, and the visual landscape of aspirational modernism connected with real domestic and social spaces. The study proposes that the series offered more than an escapist fantasy for the passive audience—it engaged audiences physically and discursively to develop an intimate connection between screen aesthetics and financial success.
