如水的觸感：《幻愛》與後運動香港情感政治

The Touch of Water: Beyond the Dream and the Affective Politics of Hong Kong after the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement

本文闡述香港電影《幻愛》（周冠威2019）與反修例運動後情感政治之間的潛在連結和共鳴可能。《幻愛》的公映正值《國安法》實施、反抗運動退潮的歷史轉折時刻，在「黃色經濟圈」支持下取得可觀票房，但影片很大程度上依循著浪漫類型公式，不論是主題、敘事或語意上，皆未見直接的政治連繫。透過晚近感官電影研究的理論，本文循三個面向進行探究：類型、觸感影像和身體感官，試圖揭示電影媒介的情動機制如何透過在身的觀影過程，召喚觀眾的運動情感經驗。

This paper illustrates the possible connections and resonations between the romance film Beyond the Dream (2019, dir. Kiwi Chow) and the affective politics of Hong Kong after the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (ELAB) Movement. The film was released at the moment that the movement had been suppressed by the government by imposing the National Security Law. However, while the film received support from the pro-activist camp which is known as“Yellow Circle,”and achieved success at the box office, the film features a generic formula of romance with no explicit thematic, narrative or semiotics connection to current politics. Taking the lens of sensational cinema studies, this paper investigates the film in three aspects: genre, haptic image and bodily sensations, all of which reveal the affective mechanism of the cinematic medium that evokes the audience’s sensory experience of the movement through an embodied spectatorship.
