"Good Stuff": Female Narrative, Spatial Poetics and the Reconstruction of Subjectivity——On the Innovation of Screenplay Creation in Shao Yihui's Film

This paper takes the work "Good Stuff" by the new-generation director Shao Yihui as the research object, and comprehensively applies the methodologies of feminist narratology, spatial production theory and psychoanalysis to systematically interpret the innovative practices of the film at the level of screenplay creation. The study finds that the film reconstructs the female narrative paradigm through three dimensions: subverting the traditional gender power structure with the mechanism of "gaze reversal", achieving the modern writing of traumatic memories through the collage of non-linear time and space, and constructing the poetic expression of gender politics through the symbolic coding of urban space. The style of "humorous realism" created by the film provides an important model for Chinese female films to break through the shackles of tragic narrative and explore the path of subjectivity construction.

Abstract

This paper takes the work "Good Stuff" by the new-generation director Shao Yihui as the research object, and comprehensively applies the methodologies of feminist narratology, spatial production theory and psychoanalysis to systematically interpret the innovative practices of the film at the level of screenplay creation. The study finds that the film reconstructs the female narrative paradigm through three dimensions: subverting the traditional gender power structure with the mechanism of "gaze reversal", achieving the modern writing of traumatic memories through the collage of non-linear time and space, and constructing the poetic expression of gender politics through the symbolic coding of urban space. The style of "humorous realism" created by the film provides an important model for Chinese female films to break through the shackles of tragic narrative and explore the path of subjectivity construction.
