چکیده
برجسته ترین پرسش همه نظریه پردازان فیلم، پرسش از رابطه ی واقعیت و فیلم بوده است، از نخستین فیلسوفان سینما همچون هوگو مونستربرگ گرفته تا فیلسوفان شناختی و تحلیلی همچون گریگوری کوری. در این میان، نگره ها و اندیشه های کوری از نوترین بررسی ها درباره رابطه فیلم و واقعیت است. از نظر گریگوری کوری، رابطه واقعیت و فیلم تاکنون از سه نگرش متفاوت بررسی شده است: 1. «توهم گرایی» (توهم حرکت بر پرده سینما)؛ 2. «شفافیت» (قرار داشتن اشیای روی پرده در «حضور» تماشاگر)؛ 3. «همانندی» (همانندی محتوای بازنمودیِ تصویر سینمایی و واقعیت). کوری در بحث از واقعیت در فیلم، دو نگرش توهم گرایی و شفافیت را رد می کند و نگرش همانندی را می پذیرد. در این مقاله، پس از مرور رابطه فیلم و واقعیت و توهم، (فقط) نگره همانندی گریگوری کوری بررسی می شود. کوری در کتاب تصویر و ذهن: فیلم، فلسفه، و علومِ شناختی نگرش «همانندی» را در برابرِ دو نگرش توهم گرایی و شفافیت مطرح می سازد و از آن دفاع می کند. هدف این مقاله، نشان دادن کاستی های دفاع کوری از نگرش «همانندی» است. نویسندگان مقاله می کوشند نشان دهند با دگرگونی مفهوم فیلم در سال های اخیر و پیشرفت فناوری ساخت و نمایش، نگره های واقعیت در فیلم هم نیاز به گرگونی دارند تا پاسخگوی بررسی های نو در فیلم باشند.Realism in Film: A Critical Survey on Gregory Currie's Theory of Likeness
Abstract Cinema has traditionally been described as the most realistic art. Nonetheless, the concept of reality in film, as in any other art form, has been defined in various ways. The foremost and most prominent aesthetic and even cognitive question in film studies has been the question of reality and its relation to film. Philosophers of film, from the first ones such as Hugo Munsterberg to the most recent ones such as the cognivist Gregory Currie, have thought about film in terms of either realism or illusionism. Currie's ideas on film are amongst the most recent theories concerning film and reality in film. As a philosopher, Currie has made room for film in his philosophy, and has attempted, through the use of cognitive science, to solve some of the theoretical problems of film theory. In Currie's view, the relation between film and reality has been considered from three different standpoints: 1) Transparency, which claims that films, through the use of a photographic method, not only represents the reality but also reproduces it. This view is mostly known by the work of French film theorist Andre Bazin. 2) Likeness, which is based on the idea that watching films is almost similar to observing the real world. This view is also attributed to Andre Bazin, in his emphasis on the long take and deep focus filmmaking. 3) Illusionism, which claims that film is capable of producing for the spectator an illusion of reality. Most film theorist hold this position regarding the relation between film and reality it depicts on the screen. In his seminal work Image and Mind: Film, Philosophy, and Cognitive Science, Gregory Currie firstly discusses these three standpoints, then rejects both Transparency and Illusionism, and accepts Likeness. He defends the idea of Likeness by arguing that watching films generates a kind of experience which is similar to the normal experience generated in us while perceiving the world. This article firstly tries to introduce briefly the threefold relations among film, reality, and illusion. Secondly, it tries to elaborate on the concept of "likeness" in Currie's theory. Currie has criticized the two other concepts – transparency and illusionism – which have been put forward by other film theorists regarding the problem of reality in film. Currie himself favours the concept of "likeness" as best explanation for film realism. This article tries to demonstrate some of the shortcomings of Currie's concept of Likeness, arguing that his theory also fails to answer some of the most important questions regarding the issue of film realism. The article concludes that in the recent years there have been many new technological developments in film production and film reception that have changed the traditional concept of Film. The article argues that due to these radical changes in the concept of "film", as well as recent technological advances in film production and projection, theories of film realism also need a radical transformation. Such transformations seem necessary if film theories are still in search of new answers to the new questions about film.
