一座博物馆—庙宇建筑的民族志——论成为政治艺术的双名制

An Ethnography of A Building Both as Museum and Temple: On the double-naming method as arts of politics

基于跨度9年的参与观察,本文采用民族志方法叙述了一个同时兼具博物馆和庙宇之名的建筑物从创意到启动再到完成的过程。这个过程包含着学界的参与、村民的努力和政府机构的支持与通融,也是近现代中国社会多种紧张关系在这个情境中被缓和、解决的过程。本文认为这个过程包含着中国传统的双名制被激活并被现实地运用的文化技巧,这种技巧表现在公共事务领域就成为一种政治艺术。
