1930년대 소련영화에 투영된 유토피아적 세계와 테크놀로지 표상 - <부유한 신부>(1937)와 <트랙터 기사들>(1939)을 중심으로

초록

This paper aims at examining how technology was represented in Soviet film of the 1930s within utopian-oriented environment and how these representations were related with that time. Mainly, this paper analyzes two films of Ivan Pyrev, The Country Bride(1937) and Tractor Drivers(1939) which romanticizes about ideals of Soviet society through ‘technology utopian’ elements in the countryside. Both of the films that sets not only musical comedy genre with a love story but also embodies socialist realism, are about a story that labor-production heroes achieves both of ‘work’ and ‘love’ by showing their operation efficiency. Within this story, ability of individual skill is emphasized and efficiency of collective skill is regarded as important task. On the other hand, sharing roles and establishing balanced relationship between technology and human, women and man, individual and group are presented organizationally in two films. These representations reflects (un)intentionally Soviet society with conflicts between individual and individual, group and group, caused by troubled process of agricultural collectivization at that time. Ultimately, these films hyperbolically justifies the Stalin regime's policy and power. However, because real lives of the Soviet people were remarkably different from the utopian imagination, internal contradictions or gap with reality are revealed in two films through various forms both inside and outside of the text.
