Abstract:
Against the backdrop of the in-depth integration of digital technology and cultural consumption, the film Ne Zha 2 deconstructs the bodily representations of traditional mythology and reimagines the body as a core arena for cultural expression and self-exploration. Through textual analysis, semiotic interpretation, and a cultural studies perspective, this paper examines three dimensions—body as landscape, identity reconstruction, and cultural topology—to explore in depth how, within a subcultural context, the body is redefined through heterogeneous visual reshaping, the spiritual reinterpretation of the physical form, and the ritualized performance of pain. These processes construct a corporeal expression of youth cultural aesthetics. The study further explores how characters transcend fixed symbolic labels and engage in subjective construction and self-fashioning amid generational conflict and reconciliation. It also reveals how the animation medium empowers the body through symbolic projections of existential conditions and the youthful reconfiguration of traditional mythology, positioning the body as a multidimensional vehicle for cultural innovation, technological transformation, and value transmission. The findings suggest that the body narrative of Ne Zha 2 constructs a metaphorical space for the transformation of cultural symbol systems, with the characters' defiance of traditional frameworks serving as vital avenues for youth self-exploration. The study concludes that the youthful body in the digital age demonstrates powerful vitality and influence, evolving beyond biological existence or cultural phenomenon to become a form of social practice that bridges tradition and modernity, and embodies technological reform and social values.
