图书馆阅读推广的社会记忆建构功能

The Social Memory Construction Function of Libraries in Reading Promotion

社会记忆理论认为社会记忆并非是对过去的复制性再现,而是由社会建构而成的。社会记忆的建构过程是一种选择性的建构过程,它既受到过去的制约,又要以现在的需要为出发点。文献是承载社会记忆的载体,以文献为工作对象的图书馆正是集中保存和传递社会记忆的社会装置。阅读推广作为图书馆的主流服务,在促进阅读和传递文献的过程中,也发挥着社会记忆建构功能。它主要通过两种方式来实现对社会记忆的选择性建构,即对文献内容的选择性推广和对文献内容的选择性诠释。

Social memory theory holds that social memory is not a reproduction of the past,but is a result constructed by society.The construction process of social memory is selective.It is not only restricted by the past but also based on the needs of the present.Literature is the carrier of social memory,and libraries with literature as their working object are the social device for centralized preservation and transmission of social memory.Reading promotion,the major service of libraries also plays a role in the construction of social memory in the process of promoting reading and delivering literature.It selectively reconstructs the social memory through two ways:the selective promotion and selective interpretation of literature.
