建构中华民族共同体意识认同的符号机制--基于卡西尔文化符号学的启示

The Symbolic Mechanism of Constructing the Community Consciousness Identity of the Chinese Nation--Enlightenments Based on Cassirer’s Cultural Semiotics

卡西尔认为,人是符号的动物,符号蕴涵的文化意义成就了人的理想世界。卡西尔文化符号学为我们观照中华民族共同体意识认同提供了一个独特视角。借助符号蕴涵的文化意义和文化濡化社会的重要功能,建构中华民族共同体意识认同的符号机制,无疑对推动中华民族认同具有重大作用。文章在梳理我国民族问题历史脉络和把握我国民族问题现实国情基础上,筛选出对中华民族共同体意识认同具有显著影响的符号因子,从语言文字符号、政治象征符号、仪式庆典符号、地理节日符号、话语范式符号五个方面尝试建构中华民族共同体意识认同的符号机制。

Cassirer believes that man is an animal of symbols, and the cultural meaning of symbolism constructs the ideal world of human beings. Cassirer’s cultural semiotics provides a unique angle for us to observe the community consciousness of the Chinese nation. With the help of the cultural significance of the symbol and the important function of the culture society, constructing the symbol mechanism of the community consciousness of the Chinese nation undoubtedly plays an important role in promoting the establishment of the community consciousness of the Chinese nation. On the basis of combing the historical context of our nation’s national problems and grasping the actual national conditions of our country’s national problems, this paper selects the symbolic factors that have important influence on the Chinese nation’s community consciousness and identity, including the language text symbols, ceremonial symbols,geographical festival symbols, discourse paradigm symbols, trying to construct the symbol mechanism of the Chinese nation’s community consciousness identity.
