物的嬗变——南京长江大桥文化史

The Evolution of Thing: Cultural History of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge

历史语境中的＂物＂和＂物＂中透析出的文化品质给文化社会学研究打开了可能的空间。一方面,自然物和人造物被纳入文化,再现文化的社会关系,带着价值、概念和情感;另一方面,物被纳入社会互动,使社会结构具体化,反映我们身处的社会现实的本质与形式。南京长江大桥在20世纪60年代建构了人们清晰的身份、一个国家叙事以及在权力布展中的位置。而那之后的大桥都可以被称为＂记忆＂,记忆的文化蕴意不管在专业人士那里还是普通民众那里都是可以被利用和挪用的,每个人都以特殊的方式再次融入大桥的意义生产中。

In the historical context, the ＂thing＂ and its＇ cultural quality has opened up the possibility of the cultural sociology research. On the one hand, the natural objects and artificial material are brought into the culture, which reappear the social relations of culture, with the values, concepts and emotions. On the other hand, things are included in the social interaction, so that the social structure can be more concrete, reflecting the essence and form of the social reality of our living. In 1960s, Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge constructed a clear identity of people, a national narrative and the position of power exhibition. But after that, the ＂Bridge＂ can be called ＂memory＂, the cultural implication of memory no matter in the professional people or ordinary people can be used and appropriated. Each person once again integrated into the meaning production of the bridge in a special way.
