self-conscious

Απορία γεννημένη από τη φράση «self-consciously camp features».

Δεν είναι πάντα αμήχανος κάποιος που είναι self-conscious. Μπορεί να είναι και συνειδητός (ή και επιδεικτικός).

Μερικά από λεξικά για τη δεύτερη σημασία:

• A person or group that is self-conscious is strongly aware of who or what they are: The proletarian movement is the self-conscious, independent movement of the oppressed classes. (Collins)
• (especially of an action or intention) deliberate and with full awareness, especially affectedly so: her self-conscious identification with the upper classes. (ODE)
• excessively concerned with appearances: highly conscious of the impression made on others and tending to act in a way that reinforces this impression: swinging his car keys in a self-conscious manner (Encarta)

Μήπως αυτή είναι η σημασία που έχουμε στην παραπάνω περίπτωση;

Κι εγώ τείνω προς το "συνειδητός" στην προκειμένη περίπτωση.

Το «features» είναι απλώς ταινίες μεγάλου μήκους (το feature film, σύμφωνα με τον ορισμό του, υπερβαίνει τα 40 λεπτά σε διάρκεια). Αλλά το σωστό ψάξιμο εδώ είναι self-consciously camp, το οποίο αμέσως αμέσως μας δίνει την περιγραφή:

What is Camp?
Camp:
A cultural practice that takes norms and standards so seriously that they become ridiculous and the privileges attached to them unreasonable.

As Medhurst says, camp is extremely difficult to describe. However, it’s possible to say that at the heart of camp is a rebellious or transgressive mode of reading.
Camp involves reading the text willfully and proactively, finding humor and irony where an author may not have intended it (for instance, the “aggressively heterosexual” Batman comics after Frederic Wertham’s Seduction of the Innocent).

In addition, texts can be self-consciously camp, performing their subject matter with “a playful, knowing, self-reflexive theatricality” (Medhurst 366). Medhurst argues that the 60’s TV show Batman is a knowing and self-mocking interpretation of those cheesy 1950’s Batman stories.

Among other things, camp often exaggerates dominant conventions to the point where they are exposed *as conventions* instead of "natural," "proper," or "inevitable." In the case of heterosexual conventions, for instance, under the pressure of camp, they begin to look affected, strained, or ridiculous (though an enjoyable lark all the same). This disrupts the privileged status of what a culture valorizes as natural.

Οπότε πρόκειται για ταινίες συνειδητής θεατρικότητας.
