Struggle Between Sin And Desire: Conflict Construction Between Queer And Christianity In European And American Film And Television Works

In the thousands of years of historical development,Christianity has established a strong "crime" siege for non-heterosexual sexual relationships(including lesbian,gay,bisexual and transgender people)and family relationships.As the cutting-edge queer movement and queer theory,a large number of novel but also controversial film and television art works have been born.In these works,the queer group is rejected by the European and American Christian society because of their unique sexual orientation.On the one hand,they cannot escape their natural special physiological desire,on the other hand,they live in the sin defined by Christianity.This strong conflict between sin and desire permeates almost all Queer topics in European and American film and television works.It constitutes the focus of the discussion in this paper.First,this conflict is reflected in the image of Queer.According to the impact of conflict,queer images can be roughly divided into three categories: sharp alternative queer images resisting conflict,submissive queer images suppressing conflict,and queer images calmly accepting conflict.Specifically,the rebels use fierce realistic actions and exaggerated plastic arts to resist internally and externally.They consistently demonstrate the particularity of their queer identity,and also strive to refute unfair sexual oppression to fight for their rights.The silencer negates himself in a deceptive manner,and also obliterates his sexuality in a herditary way.The calm person accepts this conflict in the name of love,and embraces the mainstream life consistent with heterosexuality with ordinary heart.Second,this conflict is also reflected in the theme construction.The conflict between European and American film and television works expressing the queer group in a weak position and the authoritarian Christian society mainly focuses on the issues of human rights.From the point and the surface,the human rights theme can be divided into three layers for interpretation.The first is to talk about the growth theme of self-individual conflict.This theme can most resonate with the audience,and it transcends the limits of age and ethics—An Exploration of Sexuality Beyond Heterosexual Cognition.The second is to talk about the family theme.One is to continue to follow the existing mainstream "parent-child" model,but just replace parents with same-sex lovers.The model is still traditional and mainstream.The other is post-modern,which completely breaks the established family model and introduces more diverse discussions.It can be multi-party relationships,it can also be bloodline-breaking,or even breakthrough-oriented and gender-bound.The third is to talk about the social theme of rights conflicts.This theme is more of a group portrait.It can be connected with the history of queer rights struggle in time,or it can be based on characters and individuals..Moreover,this conflict is also reflected in realistic film and television creation.This mainly refers to the expression of religious views,and the deconstructions of their views from the following three points: sexual orientation,ethics,and source of crime.It expresses sexuality in a way of deconstructing religious saints,that is,giving them humanity and defending human dignity,and making bold and diverse expressions of saints' gender,sexual orientation and sexual relations.It also expresses ethics in a way of deconstructing religious kinship.After breaking through the self-contradictions of modern Christian kinship ethics,it breaks through this limitation and asks social morality—what exactly determines family relations? It also expresses the source of sin in a way that deconstructed the religious ontology.In short,it is to reflect on its own limitations after reconstructing the definition of sin.Through the above studies,the conclusions of this article are: The conflict between Queer and Christianity is a contradiction between European and American society that has lasted for centuries.Although film and television works cannot truly achieve change and resolve the differences between the two,their media properties make their individual experiences The history of fighting with groups has been vividly recorded,and its inherent anti-concentration and anti-hegemonic spirit has continued.As long as Christianity and Queer are unable to reach a settlement from a moral level,this debate will continue,and Queer film and television works must continue to participate in it.It is perceivable that as Queer film and television works are gradually recognized by the public and enter the mainstream market,it will inevitably undergo "de-tagging".That is,it gradually integrates from the niche film and television categories into the emotional,family,and social film and television categories.
