摘要本文分析了电影《毒蛇之战》中西方与非西方遭遇的政治和美学描写，考察了电影如何解构殖民主义意象和话语，并与印第安人的概念和电影表现相结合。本文通过跨学科的方法，确定并讨论了电影中为使“印度人”类别非殖民化而采用的策略：挑战殖民统治语言并破坏帝国主义代表的比喻;上演和重演殖民遭遇;颠覆殖民主义民族志中嵌入的权力关系。本文认为，《蛇的摩擦》是对过去和现在进行政治和文化探究的工具，它提出并实施了跨文化和跨文化对话，作为对本土文化的电影方法。虽然印第安人在游戏中的概念并不是没有问题的，但这部电影成功地突出了土著人的观点和“听力点”，挑战了欧洲中心主义的承认和进化认识论，支持土著人的“共融性”。
ABSTRACT This article analyses the politics and aesthetics of the depiction of the encounter between the West and the non-West in Ciro Guerra’s film El abrazo de la serpiente, examining how the film deconstructs colonialist imagery and discourses, and engages with the notion and cinematic representation of indigeneity. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the article identifies and discusses the strategies employed in the film to decolonise the category of the ‘Indian’: challenging the colonial linguistic of domination and undermining the tropes of imperialist representations; staging and re-enacting colonial encounters; and subverting the power relations embedded in colonialist ethnography. The article argues that El abrazo de la serpiente acts as an instrument of political and cultural inquiry into the past and the present, and that it both proposes and enacts interculturalidad and intercultural dialogue as a cinematic approach to native culture. While the notion of indigeneity at play is not unproblematic, the film succeeds in foregrounding Indigenous points of view and ‘points of hearing’, challenging a Eurocentric politics of recognition and evolutionary epistemology in favour of a ‘coevalness’ of the native.
