集体仪式与国家认同——以山西省立民众教育馆为考察中心

Collective Rituals and National Identity—— A Case Study of Shanxi Provincial Mass Education Institution

1933—1937年间,山西省立民众教育馆曾连续举行识字运动大会、孔子诞辰纪念大会、国际妇女节纪念大会、禁烟纪念日、儿童节纪念大会、集团结婚仪式、国历新年纪念等集体仪式,社会影响较大。作为社会教育的中心机构,民众教育馆对"再造民众"有着强烈的使命感,举办具有象征意义的集体仪式是其常用的教育手段。从国家政治角度看,作为一种权力的实践,国家透过它向社会成员传达官方话语,以影响人们的价值观念、增强人们的自豪感、增加民族凝聚力,它是国家力量向民间社会渗透的重要方式。

From 1934 to 1937,Shanxi Provincial Mass Education Institution held the Literacy Conference,the Confucius Birthday Memorial Meeting,the International Women＇s Day Memorial Conference,Non-smoking Anniversary,the Children＇s Day Memorial Conference,the Group＇s Wedding Ceremony,Gregorian New Year Anniversary and other collective rituals,resulting in a great social impact. As a social education center,the mass education institution has a strong sense of mission to ＂recreating the citizen＂,and holding a symbolic collective ceremony is its common educational means. From a national political point of view,it is a kind of power practice,through which the state communicates official discourse to the members of society to influence people＇s values,enhance people＇s pride,increase national cohesion,and it is an important way for national forces to infiltrate into civil society.
