Discourse,Time and Space,Limit:Re-discussion on the Film Adaptation of Mo Yan's White Dog Swinging Up
Mo Yan's novel White Dog Swinging Up and its film version Warm have different contexts:the novel White Dog Swinging Up inherits the theme of the May 4th Enlightenment in the new period,completing the exchange of writing center and marginal position,which not only breaks through the imprisonment of unified writing,but also becomes the symbol of new ideology;the film Warm is situated in the field of the reform and opening up,which simplifies the original theme and generates new ideological meaning.In the field of meaningful production,the background of the novel White Dog Swinging Up is the northeast township of Gaomi,Shandong Province.Weather,phenology and animals and plants have become significant elements of Mo Yan's story,highlighting the resilience of life;the story of adapted movie takes place in Wuyuan,Jiangxi(ancient Huizhou),and the rigidity of the north was replaced by the femininity of the south,which was in line with the ups and downs of love,gloomy mood of life and the mournful but not distressing style.The novel is good at leaving blank space and does not point out the future trends of the countryside,while the adapted film takes warm tones,highlighting the guardian spirit of love in the countryside,boosting confidence in the future of the countryside and refuting the paranoia of modern society.By combing the different contexts,cultures,fields and images of film and novel production,we can explore the displacement of power discourse in the 1980s and the new century,and outline the different operating mechanisms of novel and film in the rural social changes.
