Abstract

Derrida, with the strategy of deconstruction, rebelled against the traditional logocentrism, and proposed that the seemingly fixed binary opposition is actually a complementary and interactive development relationship. Based on the theory of “differance” and “addition” in his deconstructive strategy, combined with a number of films directed and produced by Jia Zhangke, this paper studies the seemingly rigid and contradictory concepts of reality and fiction. By explaining the documentary features of Jia Zhangke’s films and the means of supplementing “reality” with non-realistic elements, this paper demonstrates that Jia Zhangke’s films break through the binary opposition between reality and fiction, and achieve the effect of supplementing reality with fiction and blending them with each other.
