能指的旅行——对歌曲《南泥湾》的文化考察

Travel of Signifier——A Cultural Study On NanNiWan

作为赞颂大生产运动的革命歌曲,传唱至今的《南泥湾》已成为一首公认的红色经典歌曲。从唱词上看,《南泥湾》以高度的热情赞扬了党在大生产运动中取得的巨大成就;从创作主体上看,《南泥湾》的创作实质上体现了文艺界"拥抱"政治的主动姿态;从歌唱方式上看,集体性的恢宏合唱反映了特定年代的"大写自我"的精神面貌。将《南泥湾》视作一个文化文本,以历时性的眼光考察其能指的嬗变便能发现,在现代语境下,《南泥湾》作为一个开放、动态的文本,其意义永远处于生成之中。无论是崔健的摇滚式改编还是徐小凤版的《重逢》,能指的旅行使得"声音"不断呈现出殊异的景观与文化内涵。在多元性的社会发展下,《南泥湾》仍有可能被改写与重构,并最终成为人们的文化记忆。
