作为集体记忆与自我延续的物质文化研究——以滇越铁路为例

A Research on Substance Culture as Collective Memory and Self Continuance——Taking the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway for Example

记忆并不都是为了认同,很多时候,记忆是人们借助于特定的事/物来呈现自我的方式,当承载记忆的物/事因为社会发展的原因逐渐退出历史舞台时,一方面会出现群体集体记忆的断裂与自我的流逝,另一方也会因为事/物的少而珍贵,出现自我的叠加,更有可能出现文化的再生产,来重塑集体记忆,延伸自我。本文以滇越铁路文物为例,分析边民社会如何伴随着铁路的生命史进行自我的存在、流逝与叠加,从而引导社会对物质文化生命的尊重。

It is not very common that memory is for identification. Most of the times, people present themselves with the help of a particular object. When the object that bears our memory is fade away with the development of the society, collective memory will be fractured and lapse, on the other hand, it will show self-overlap because the object is rare and precious. Therefore, culture reproduction may arise to rebuild collective memory and self continuance. This article takes the relic of Yunnan-Vietnam railway as an example to analyze how borderers＇ society itself exists, lapses and overlaps with the history of railway, thereby guiding our society to respect the substance culture.
