“乡愁”的空间叙事:以蒙自的七个村史室为例

Spatial Narration of Homesickness:Case Study of the Seven Village History Museums in Mengzi

从空间叙事学的角度来观照西南边疆的村史室可发现乡村文化空间的“媒介化”属性。村史室中“乡愁”空间叙事,通过线性的节奏与情节,虚实相交浓缩展示乡村历史时空,突出展示革命和现代的乡村政治图景,使得乡愁成为各方权力的交互场,其中有怀旧情绪,有认同,有资本参与,也有工具性。在此背景之下,须突破村史室抒发“怀念过去”的单一情绪维度,赋予乡村自我审视的文化自觉,突出对农村活生生的文化生活的服务,突出村民在公共文化空间中的主体性和参与性,从而让“乡愁”去工具化,变得更有灵魂。

From the perspective of Spatial Narratology,mediation and intermediation of rural cultural space can be found in village history museum.Through the linear theme arrangement,the concentrated display of the intersection of virtual and real,the pictures of evolutional and modern rural politics,homesickness become an interactive power field,which contains nostalgia,identification,capital participation and instrumentality.In this context,it is necessary to break through the single emotional dimension of expressing nostalgia for the past in the village history museums,but should give the village the cultural self-consciousness,highlight the service to the living cultural life in the countryside,and the subjectivity and participation of the villagers in the public cultural space,so as to make homesickness de-instrumentalization and become more soulful.
