文化记忆的建构、遗忘与重构——以上海“康王建城”叙事为中心的讨论

Cultural Memory Contructed, Forgotten and Reconstructed: A Discussion Centered on “Kang-Wang Building a Castle” Narrative

文化记忆的建构、遗忘和重构是循环往复的过程。文化记忆分为功能记忆和存储记忆两大类型。功能记忆为当前记忆,是文化记忆中被选择出来用于当下文化建构的部分,一部分没有现实价值的文化记忆信息则被遗忘或者休眠,由功能记忆进入了存储记忆。那些进入存储记忆的文化记忆信息在未来的某个时间将会被唤醒并得到重构。上海"康王建城"传说就经历了一个从建构到遗忘再到重构的过程,充满了根据本地政治、经济发展状况做出的自我调整与适应的文化印痕。

It is a cyclical process that cultural memory is constructed, forgotten and reconstructed. Cultural memory can be divided into two types: functional memory and storage memory. Functional memory is the current memory selected from cultural memory for an immediate cultural construction. However, some cultural memory information without realistic value is forgotten or lies dormant, thus changing into storage memory. The cultural memory information into the storage memory will be awakened and reconstructed at some time in the future. Shanghai's legend—'Kang-Wang building a castle' has experienced a process from being constructed to forgotten to reconstructed, marked fully with selfadjustment and adaptation to the constantly changing situation of local political and economic development.
