This essay analyzes the visualization of Euro-American medicine and indigenous healing in John Steinbeck's 1941 documentary-drama The Forgotten Village. The movie juxtaposes film and medical discourse as exemplifications of modern, visual culture by showing excerpts from hygiene films and foregrounding medical imagery (e.g., bacteria cultures). The film displaces indigenous medicine by privileging a Euro-American medical model, and the gaze of oppression is perpetuated through humanitarian medical intervention. In short, disease is not simply a material fact but embedded in discourses about community identity, moral values, and politics.
这篇文章分析了约翰·斯坦贝克 1941 年纪录片《被遗忘的村庄》中对欧美医学和本土治疗的可视化呈现。这部电影通过展示卫生电影的片段和突出医学图像(例如细菌培养),将电影和医学话语并列作为现代视觉文化的范例。这部电影通过优先考虑欧美医学模式来取代本土医学,通过人道主义医疗干预,压迫的目光得以延续。简而言之,疾病不仅仅是一个物质事实,而是嵌入到关于社区身份、道德价值观和政治的话语中。
