曾金金：跨文化幽默可以消解文化衝突和差異嗎？——從電影《羅馬浴場II》談起

新年伊始，藍書屋的講座系列也將迎來一個輕鬆的開場。1月17日，我們邀請到研究華語文教學的國立台灣師範大學教授曾金金，談談電影裡的“跨文化幽默”。

電影《羅馬浴場 II》以穿越時空的奇幻設定，巧妙地將古羅馬與現代日本並置，透過誇張而細膩的幽默手法，呈現不同文化在相遇時所產生的誤解、衝突與共鳴。講座將以《羅馬浴場 II》為核心文本，探討電影中跨文化幽默的形成方式。

即使沒有看過電影的讀者，也可以在講座中了解到影片的基本背景與敘事特色，通過曾教授的解讀，了解電影如何運用文化差異、視角錯位與日常生活細節，營造出令人會心一笑的情境。

在講座中，曾教授將分析這些幽默場景背後所隱含的文化觀點：我們為何會覺得好笑？笑點從何而來？當不同文化被放在同一個畫面中時，幽默是否也反映了某種刻板印象或文化想像？

曾教授還將以現場互動的方式，邀請聽眾一同思考，跨文化幽默在現代社會中的意義。對於生活在多元文化環境中的華語使用者而言，幽默不只是娛樂，更可能成為拉近距離、理解差異，甚至反思自身文化立場的一種方式。透過電影文本的分享與討論，講座希望提供一個輕鬆而開放的空間，讓參與者重新思考文化差異如何被觀看、被詮釋，以及被理解。

To kick off the new year, Blaues Haus's lecture series in 2026 will begin with a lighthearted event. On January 17th, we've invited Professor Tseng Chin-Chin of National Taiwan Normal University, specializing in Chinese language teaching, to discuss "cross-cultural humor" in film.

The film Thermae Romae II cleverly juxtaposes ancient Rome and modern Japan with a fantastical time-travel setting, using exaggerated yet subtle humor to present the misunderstandings, conflicts, and resonances that arise when different cultures meet. The lecture will focus on hermae Romae II as its core text, exploring how cross-cultural humor is formed in film.

Even readers who haven't seen the film can learn about its basic background and narrative features. Through Professor Tseng's interpretation, they will understand how the film uses cultural differences, perspective shifts, and everyday details to create situations that evoke a knowing smile.

In the lecture, Professor Tseng will analyze the cultural perspectives implied behind these humorous scenes: Why do we find it funny? Where does the humor come from? When different cultures are placed in the same frame, does the humor also reflect certain stereotypes or cultural imaginations?

Professor Tseng will also invite the audience to reflect on the significance of cross-cultural humor in modern society through interactive sessions. For Chinese-speaking people living in multicultural environments, humor is not just entertainment, but can also be a way to bridge gaps, understand differences, and even reflect on one's own cultural stance. Through sharing and discussing film texts, the lecture aims to provide a relaxed and open space for participants to rethink how cultural differences are viewed, interpreted, and understood.
