被遮蔽的真实：私影像中个体记忆的重构研究

The Veiled Truth: Reconstruction of Individual Memory in Private Video Studies

摘要: “私影像”作为一种以第一人称视角和高度主观性为特征的影像实践，逐渐成为当代纪录片领域的重要分支。本文探讨的核心问题是：在“档案热”与后电影时代，私影像如何不再是单纯地“记录”或“再现”个体记忆，而是主动地对其“重构”？本研究聚焦私影像中个体记忆重构机制，需首先厘清核心概念的理论内涵。情感真实指对人的情感关系和状态等情感结构的客观呈现，叙事真实指在叙述者及其叙述行为对创作者心理过程的真实反映。二者构成私影像“真实”的双重维度，既区别于传统史学的客观性追求，亦不同于纯粹主观的臆造。本研究强调记忆并非被动储存而是主动建构的产物。通过分析《日常对话》等案例，揭示创作者如何通过影像叙事将碎片化记忆整合为主观身份认同的叙事真实。同时引入媒介记忆理论，探讨摄影、VR、AI等技术如何作为记忆载体与重构工具，参与个体记忆的数字化保存与再生产。个体记忆的重构具体表现为：创作者通过“自我生活叙事”建构主观身份；影像叙事通过非线性、碎片化的方式重构记忆，创造出一种情感真实；媒介技术深刻地嵌合在记忆建构的过程中。

Abstract: As a form of audiovisual practice characterized by first-person perspective and intense subjectivity, “private video” has emerged as a significant branch within contemporary documentary filmmaking. This study investigates the core question: In the context of archival fever and post-cinematic era, how does private video transcend mere “documentation” or “representation” of individual memory to actively engage in its “reconstruction”? Focusing on the mechanisms of memory reconstruction in private video, this research first clarifies the theoretical connotations of key concepts. Emotional authenticity refers to the objective portrayal of emotional relationships and states within interpersonal dynamics, while narrative authenticity reflects the truthful mediation of creators’ psychological processes through storytelling. Together, these constitute the dual dimensions of “truth” in private video—distinguishing it from both the objectivity pursued in traditional historiography and pure subjective fabrication. Emphasizing memory as an active construct rather than passive storage, the study reveals through case analyses how creators integrate fragmented memories into subjective identity formations through cinematic narration. By integrating media memory theory, this work explores how photographic, VR and AI technologies function as both memory carriers and reconstructive tools, participating in the digital preservation and re-production of individual memories. The reconstruction of individual memory is concretely manifested in three aspects: creators construct subjective identities through “self-life narratives”; visual narratives reconstruct memory via non-linear and fragmented approaches, creating a kind of emotional authenticity; and media technologies are profoundly embedded in the process of memory construction.
