Towards Global Folk Cinema

项目摘要

As parallel climate and public health crises highlight the extent to which the experiences of communities worldwide are inextricably connected, there is an increasing urgency to find ways of illuminating aspects of solidarity, common concern and shared experience globally across cultures and communities. Responding to this imperative, this project will mount the first ever global study of a folk cinema both within film studies and the wider humanities, a new comparative space in which the experiences of diverse communities can be interconnected. Whilst disparate scholars have mentioned in passing the notion of a folk cinema (Gabriel (1982), Landy (1994)), there has yet to be undertaken any overarching study exploring the full implications such a notion holds globally for world cinema. And yet: examples of a folk cinema - a cinema not only FOR the people, but OF the people, BY the people - lie scattered throughout cinema history, from the films made collectively with working class communities over half a century by Newcastle's Amber Collective, the use of cinema as a form of cultural continuity within ancient Inuit oral traditions by Zacharius Kunuk, or Alicia Rohrwacher's recent cinematic retellings of Italian folk tales. Drawing upon an interdisciplinary framework (including aspects of culture studies, ethnology and political theory) this project will seek to illuminate previously unconnected instances of a folk cinema, highlighting important commonalities of practice and aspects of shared experience between filmmakers and traditions of cinema in very different parts of the world. In doing so, the project will propose a transformative new perspective within film studies and the wider humanities, exploring the possibility of a 'globalization from below' (Appadurai, 2001) in which global interconnectedness is theorised from the ground upwards through the establishment of cross-cultural solidarities, rather than imposed from above by the aggressive transnationalism of neoliberal capital. In inaugurating an inclusive, cross-cultural space in which diverse community traditions, experiences and practices can be placed alongside each other in solidarity, a folk cinema will present an important counter to contemporary right-wing populisms in which community tradition tends to be rehearsed in the exclusive and protectionist terms of nativism and xenophobia.The project will produce the first scholarly monograph to explore the global phenomenon of a folk cinema. Beyond traditional scholarly outputs, the project will also seek to explore the emergent questions of a folk cinema through aspects of research-as-practice, exploring the interface between cinema and community experience both through film exhibition practice (through two editions of a public film festival), and the complex process through which community oral traditions are translated into cinema within a localised Scottish context, through the completion of a feature-length documentary film. Key aspects of preparatory research and production have already been undertaken, and the fellowship will afford the opportunity to write up the monograph and complete post-production on the film to the professional standard required for it to achieve the widest public impact through frontline film festivals and broadcast television. The fellowship will also allow for crucial aspects of early career development and engagement. I will benefit from world-leading mentorship from Professor Edward Hollis (CAHSS Associate Dean of Research at UoE) and previous AHRC standard grant recipient Professor Will Higbee (University of Exeter), and from the chance to attend two research leadership courses run by Edinburgh University's Institute of Academic Development. The fellowship will also create significant opportunities for my research to engage with a broad community of scholars, filmmakers and interested publics through two symposia, a film festival, and a public-facing website.

由于同时发生的气候和公共卫生危机突出表明，世界各地社区的经历在很大程度上是密不可分的，因此越来越迫切需要找到办法，阐明全球不同文化和社区之间的团结、共同关切和共同经验。为了应对这一迫切需要，该项目将在电影研究和更广泛的人文学科中首次对民间电影进行全球研究，这是一个新的比较空间，不同社区的经验可以相互联系。虽然不同的学者都顺便提到了民间电影的概念（加布里埃尔（1982），兰迪（1994）），但还没有进行任何全面的研究来探索这种概念对世界电影的全面影响。然而：民间电影的例子--不仅是为人民的电影，而且是人民的电影，由人民的电影--分散在电影史上，从纽卡斯尔的琥珀集体在世纪与工人阶级社区集体制作的电影，到扎卡里乌斯·库努克在古代因纽特人口头传统中将电影作为文化连续性的一种形式，或者艾丽西娅·罗尔瓦彻最近对意大利民间故事的电影复述。在跨学科的框架（包括文化研究，民族学和政治理论方面），该项目将寻求照亮民间电影以前不相关的实例，突出实践的重要共性和电影制片人和电影传统之间的共享经验方面在世界上非常不同的地区。在此过程中，该项目将在电影研究和更广泛的人文学科中提出一个变革性的新视角，探索“自下而上的全球化”（Appadurai，2001）的可能性，其中全球互联性是通过建立跨文化团结从地面向上理论化的，而不是由新自由主义资本的侵略性跨国主义从上面强加的。在开创一个包容性的跨文化空间，使不同的社区传统、经验和做法能够相互团结，一部民间电影将是对当代右翼的一个重要反击，该项目将出版第一部学术专著，探讨种族隔离和仇外心理这一全球现象。民俗电影除了传统的学术成果，该项目还将寻求通过研究实践的方面来探索民间电影的新兴问题，通过电影展览实践探索电影与社区经验之间的界面（通过两个版本的公共电影节），以及社区口头传统在苏格兰本地化背景下转化为电影的复杂过程，完成了一部长篇纪录片筹备研究和制作的主要方面已经进行，研究金将提供机会撰写专题论文，并完成电影的后期制作，以达到所需的专业标准，使其通过前线电影节和广播电视产生最广泛的公众影响。该研究金还将考虑到早期职业发展和参与的重要方面。我将受益于世界领先的导师教授爱德华·霍利斯（CAHSS研究在UOE副院长）和前AHRC标准补助金获得者教授将希格比（埃克塞特大学），并有机会参加两个研究领导课程由爱丁堡大学的学术发展研究所运行。该奖学金还将为我的研究创造重要的机会，通过两个研讨会，一个电影节和一个面向公众的网站与广泛的学者，电影制片人和感兴趣的公众进行接触。
