社会凝聚力的人文化成:“诗可以群”的传播文化学解读

Civilization through Humanities of Social Cohesion:The Interpretation of“Poetry as Means of Social Intercourse” in the Perspective of Cultural Communication Studies

孔子的许多言论,被视为一种智慧的心灵对世间真理的感悟,因而人们试图通过对这些言论的解读来探索世间的真理,对“诗可以群”的解读亦作如是观。前贤将“群”解释为“合乎众”“合群性”。“群”字作动词用,有聚合之义,其意是说《诗经》具有聚合人群的功用。用现代语言说,《诗经》能起到增强社会凝聚力的作用。从“社会凝聚力”的视角研究“诗可以群”,也可以使这一古老命题获得全新的理解。“社会凝聚力”乃是一个“人文化成”的过程,以传播仪式观为框架,从宗教信仰、民族史诗、燕饮礼仪、抗灾解难四个方面可论述《诗经》所映现的社会凝聚力的“人文化成”。
