中华民族共同体视域下的符号互动与认同建构--以“马”符号的格雷马斯方阵演进为例

SYMBOLIC INTERACTION AND IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHINESE NATIONAL COMMUNITY:Take The Evolution of The Greimas Phalanx With The Symbol of"Horse"as An Example

文化共同体内部对符号的解释会经过多重衍义过程后产生共同解释项,这是中华民族共同体符号认同的典型建构过程。本文以“马”这一符号为例,运用格雷马斯方阵来分析汉文化与异族文化的传播互动过程中“马”这一意象的转变,从象征神性的“龙马”转换为凶性的马兽,到野性的象征,最后转换为融入“礼”制的舞马,被整合成为宫廷艺术的一部分。意象转变的过程,也是中华民族各族群的文化相互影响交织并最终走向同一的过程。

The interpretation of symbols within the cultural community will produce common interpretation items after multiple evolving processes.This is a typical construction process of the symbolic identity of the Chinese nation community.Taking the symbol of horse as an example,this article uses the Greimas phalanx to analyze the transformation of the image of horse in the process of communication and interaction between Han culture and foreign culture.From the symbolic"dragon horse"to the ferocious horse beast as a symbol of wildness,it was finally transformed into a dancing horse integrated into the"ritual"system,which was integrated as a part of court art.The process of image transformation is also a process in which the cultures of the various ethnic groups of the Chinese nation are intertwined and eventually move towards unity.
