Research On Art Creation Features Of Contemporary American Animation Under Postmodern Context

The paper,while taking contemporary American animation since 1990 s as a study object,gives a presentation on the contemporary evolution approach of the American animation in creation concept,spreading mode and technological means from the perspective of post-modernism theory.The especial in-depth study is conducted on artistic expression approach and theory of the post-modernist art mainly represented by post-modern pop art,which have complex relation with contemporary American animation creation,as well as post-modern films,which shares the same origin with contemporary American animation,so as to give a summary on how the post-modern artistic theory exert an influence or even apply force on contemporary American animation.In addition,based on the discussion above,the paper explores creation characteristics of the contemporary American animation after analyzing the American animation under the context of post-modernity.Finally,through the theoretical construction for the creation characteristics of the contemporary American animation under the post-modern background,the paper conducts analysis on the guidance and helpfulness of the theoretical framework to the creation of the contemporary American animation.Chapter one is about introduction,mainly discussing the study on creation characteristics of the contemporary American animation under the post-modern context from aspects such as study background,current study status,study purpose and innovation point,contents and significance of the study,which provides a relatively solid theoretical base for further study of this topic.Chapter two gives a detailed illustration on three major elements composing the contemporary American animation under the post-modernism background,including two-dimensional animation,three-dimensional animation and stop motion animation.It presents how the three elements emerge as the major evolution approaches after reforming technological means,changing spreading approach and upgrading creation concepts.Chapter three mainly explores and analyzes how the post-modern pop art tightly relevant with the contemporary American animation presents its style in the American animation operation.As a major creation mode in the post-modern art,the post-modern pop art shares weal and woe with its ramification,the artistic creation of the contemporary American animation.If one aims to know further about creation characteristics of the contemporary American animation under the post-modern context,it is quite impossible for him to conduct such a study without considering post-modern style of the pop art presenting in the American animation.After analysis,it demonstrates that the post-modern pop art in the contemporary American animation is mainly presented as: to underline characters' feature with a hyperbolic yet contracted style;to reconstruct emotional perception with rebellious color;as well as to create relying more on mass media;to perform fantastic combination and repetition;and to present post-modern pop spirit of banter and spoof.Chapter four conducts in-depth analysis on the reflection of post-modern creation techniques in film operation on the contemporary American animation.Animation and film shares the same origin in artistic presentation and techniques,while post-modern film shares the same epidemic time with the post-modernism of contemporary American animation.Thus it can be seen that it is inevitable to take the important theoretical topic of exploring the reflection of the post-modern film creation techniques on the American animation into consideration when one aims to conduct in-depth analysis on creation characteristics of contemporary American animation under the post-modern context.In the post-modern film creation techniques,such techniques and modes of expression as mixed film types,discontinuous narrative mode and expression with jocosity are presented in the contemporary American animation to some extent,which somewhat exert influence on creation tactics of the contemporary American animation.Chapter five summarizes such artistic creation characteristics displayed in the contemporary American animation under the post-modern context as public-oriented presentation,humor and jocosity,deconstruction and rebellion.First of all,the public-oriented artistic creation characteristics is mainly reflected in diversified theme selection,duplicated spreading method and secularization in atmosphere construction.Secondly,humor and jocosity of artistic creation lies mainly in parody of personate,exaggerated expression and action,as well as humoristic language expression.Thirdly,the deconstruction of character design,reconstruction of traditional narration as well as mix and recombination of various animation types embody the deconstruction feature in the artistic creation of the contemporary American animation.Lastly,under the post-modern context,the rebellion in the artistic creation of the contemporary American animation is reflected to some extent in the values of pursuit for freedom and equality,the ideology and values of the post-modern feminism for gender equality against discrimination as well as irony on autocratic authority.This is how it can achieve the construction of the basic theoretical framework for the artistic creation characteristics of the contemporary American animation under the post-modern context from the scientific principle.
