远景凝眸:《湘行散记》中的文化记忆价值重构

Reconstruction of Cultural Memory Value in The Local Customs and Tales of Hunan Province

《湘行散记》所叙写的湘西地区“人事组成的历史”离不开上世纪20-30年代我国半封建半殖民地的特定社会历史文化背景,因此,尽管其富有亲身经历的纪实性色彩,但在写人叙事中仍然鲜明地表现出谋篇布局、表情达意的叙事策略。作品以人性、审美和道德的眼光来关注湘西民众现实生活与精神状态,并通过对湘西地区发展的历史审视与远景凝眸,对现存价值体系进行反思和观照,力图在文学回忆的同一性建构中实现民族文化记忆的价值重构,从而为当下中国社会的发展、国民精神的改造和民族性格的重塑提供别样的路径选择。

The stories in The Local Customs and Tales about Hunan Province cannot be separated from the specific social, historical and cultural background of China, which was semi-feudal and semi-colony in the 1920s and 1930s. Therefore, despite the rich experience of autobiography, there is still a vivid expression of the layout of the plot of narrative strategy in this work. People’s real life and their spiritual situation in western part of Hunan Province are portrayed from the perspective of humanity, aesthetics and morality. Through the historical review of the development in this area, the author had a deep reflection on current value system in order to reconstruct the national cultural memory in the homogeneous framework. This provides a unique way to reshape the national spirit and personality.
