本文选题：美日动画片　切入点：文化差异　出处：《西安工业大学》2014年硕士论文

【摘要】：动画产生于现代工业文明,作为大众文化现象之一,展示了独特的文化魅力。美国和日本都是动画强国,但又是受西洋文化和东方文化浸润的不同国家。美日动画各自取得的巨大成就都与自身的文化密不可分。在我国,许多学者对美国动画和日本动画的理论进行了研究,但其中大多数都是针对动画的发展史、人物造型、动作设计、动画大师等方面,有关美日动画对比研究较少,有关美日动画反映的不同文化背景的对比研究更少。本论文尝试以美日动画片为对象,运用霍夫斯坦特文化五维度理论进行分析,探寻美日动画所反映的文化差异。本论文采用的语料是美日动画片,主要从网络及图书馆搜集,按照美日两国动画发展的不同阶段,选取具有开创性的、里程碑性质的、极具代表性的美日动画片共22部。本论文对所搜集的22部动画片主要进行定性研究。首先,用文献分析的方法,概括出美日两国动画发展的不同阶段；然后,用文本分析的方法,先从主体题材、人物形象、表现手法、故事意义、创作背景五个方面对22部经典动画片进行对比分析,再用霍夫斯坦特文化五维度理论的五个指标作进-步分析对比,探寻其中的文化差异；接着,用对比分析的方法,归纳动画片反映的美日两国的文化特征及差异；最后总结动画与文化的关系。通过研究可知,美日动画片所反映出的文化差异主要体现在四个方面：包容性与草根性,开放性与岛国根性,个人主义与集团意识,实用主义与人文主义。究其原因,与其历史、地理等人文、自然环境有着深刻的密切的关系。由此可见,不同的文化在美日动画风格形成过程中确实起到了非常重要的作用,文化的许多内容通过动画的语言形式传递,从而对人们的思维方式和行为取向产生影响。利用跨文化交际理论对美日动画片进行详尽的分析比较,可以为以后的文化教学提供更为丰富的理论依据,拓宽跨文化交际研究的范围,在实际工作中对英语、日语教学工作者及翻译工作者有所启发。但是同时也应看到,22部动画片在动画发展的百年历史中数量并不算多,语料还是很有限的,这是本次研究的不足之处。对美日动画片反映的文化差异的阐释还有待进一步深入。
[Abstract]:Animation emerged from modern industrial civilization, as one of the popular cultural phenomena, demonstrated the unique cultural charm. The United States and Japan are animation powers, However, the great achievements of American and Japanese animation are closely related to their own culture. In China, many scholars have studied the theories of American animation and Japanese animation, but most of them focus on the history of animation, character modeling, action design, animation master and so on. There are few comparative studies on the different cultural backgrounds reflected by American and Japanese animations. This paper attempts to analyze the cultural differences reflected by American and Japanese animations by using the theory of Hofstedt culture five dimensions to explore the cultural differences reflected by American and Japanese animations. The corpus of this thesis is American and Japanese cartoons, which are collected mainly from network and library. According to the different stages of the development of American and Japanese animation, 22 representative American and Japanese cartoons are selected. This paper mainly carries on the qualitative research to the 22 animations collected. Firstly, it generalizes the different stages of the development of the animation between the United States and Japan by the method of literature analysis, and then, using the method of text analysis, begins with the subject matter, the character image, and so on. The expression technique, the story meaning, the creation background five aspects carries on the contrast analysis to 22 classical animation, then uses the Hofstedt culture five dimension theory five indexes to make the further-step analysis contrast, explores the cultural difference among them; With the method of comparative analysis, this paper sums up the cultural characteristics and differences between America and Japan as reflected by animation, and finally summarizes the relationship between animation and culture. Through research, we can see that the cultural differences reflected in American and Japanese cartoons are mainly reflected in four aspects: inclusiveness and grass root, openness and island root, individualism and group consciousness, pragmatism and humanism. With its history, geography and other humanities, the natural environment has a profound and close relationship. Thus, it can be seen that different cultures really play a very important role in the process of forming the animation style of the United States and Japan. Many of the contents of culture are transmitted through the language form of animation, which has an impact on people's thinking mode and behavior orientation. The detailed analysis and comparison of American and Japanese cartoons with cross-cultural communication theory can provide a more abundant theoretical basis for future cultural teaching, broaden the scope of cross-cultural communication research, and provide a better understanding of English in practical work. Japanese language teachers and translators are enlightening. But at the same time, we should also see that the number of 22 animations in the 100-year history of animation development is not very large, and the corpus is still very limited. This is the deficiency of this study. The explanation of the cultural differences reflected by American and Japanese cartoons needs to be further explored.
