论传媒对民族文化记忆的唤起

On How Media Restores National Cultural Memory

民族文化记忆是确立民族身份、实现民族认同的历史资源。传媒对民族文化记忆的唤起处于一个复杂的"社会文本"中,在"记忆"某些历史的同时也选择性"遗忘"另一些历史;传媒通过纪念仪式和身体实践的方式唤起记忆,并以"拔高"、"简化"和"贴标签"的方式操纵记忆;政治经济权力是传媒建构文化记忆的影响因素,使得传媒对历史的再现出现了局部异化;而随着全球化和网络空间的崛起,多元主体对传媒记忆的解构正在展开,国家人、世界人、个体人的分化成为挑战民族文化记忆建构的一股力量。

National cultural memory, as historical resources, is essential to establishing and realizing national identity. Due to the complicated nature of the social context in which national cultural memory is restored, the media tend to remember some historical events while selectively forgetting others. The media restore memory through commemorative ceremonies and bodily practice, and manipulate the audiences＇ memory by exaggerating, simplifying and labeling history. Political and economic power has great influences on the media when they construct cultural memory, and thus leads to the partial Mienation of historical events. Globalization and the development of cyberspace render it possible for the diversified subjects to deconstruct the media-constructed memory, and the division of the national person, the global person and the individual person is challenging the former construction system of national cultural memory.
