Abstract
With increasingly frequent cultural exchange, documentaries have become an important way of intercultural communication in the context of globalization. Additionally, the documentary internationalization has become the trend in the global documentary industry. As the first Sino-foreign cooperative documentary, Wild China represents China’s splendid natural sceneries as well as profound history and culture in use of novel perspective, special narrative and outstanding filmmaking. Nevertheless, cultural divergences are inevitable in the process of filmmaking owing to the different cultural backgrounds between the two countries. Adopting the form of two diverse versions, the documentary tries to overcome the cultural divergences arising from different backgrounds, providing a wonderful model for other transnational documentaries.
By comparing BBC’s English version and CCTV’s Chinese version of Wild China, this paper aims to explore the cultural divergences and integration between two versions from the aspects of theme’s extension, language’s modification, shift of narrative and edition of scenes. The cultural factors causing these divergences are analyzed as well. Eventually, this documentary’s inspirations in terms of intercultural communication are brought out, demonstrating the situation of micro-dialogue between the two versions, which reveals the significance of transnational cooperative documentaries on intercultural communication.
Key words: intercultural communication, documentary, Wild China, cultural divergence and integration. |
