「重返」作為紀錄的方法及其反思：以中國1950 年代民族社會歷史科學紀錄片為例

Revisiting as Documentary Production & its Reflexitivity: A Case Study of the 1950s Ethnographic Films in China

本文主要討論的是「重返」作為紀錄的方法，也就是以特定的、舊的歷史影像為本，「重返」、尋找或回訪同一個田野、現場或對象，並進行某種重看、回顧或重新放映，以及持續的、新的音像紀錄。透過「重返」，它使得在歷史的影像與當下的紀錄之間，開啟了彼此之間互相對話的可能，並衍生了再現與真實、作品與資料庫等等面向的反思性。因此，這裡以中國1950年代民族社會歷史科學紀錄片及其「重返」為例，分析並比較它們各自所關注之處，進一步釐清下列的問題：為什麼要「重返」、如何進行「重返」、又「重返」了什麼？

Borrowing from Burawoy’s discussion of the “focused revisit“ as a method in ethnography, this paper explores the technique of revisiting as the cultural production when a documentary returns to the field, the site or the subject of a historical or previuos moving image. The author takes revisiting the 1950s ethnographic films in China as examples, and explores that they may have emphasized different dimentions—from review or re-screening, representing or reality to single work or continued archiving—but they all regard moving image as some kind of memory, document, data or archive and try to produce reflexitivity by a time-space dialogue.
