文化记忆与中华民族共同体意识建构

Cultural Memory and Building of Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation

文化记忆能够塑造集体认同,在民族共同体意识的建构中形成情感凝聚力。文化记忆的核心问题包括谁在记忆、记忆什么以及如何记忆。通过文化记忆理论的三个核心问题探讨中华民族共同体意识的建构机制,能够更清晰地透视中华民族共同体意识的存在本质、生成机理以及认同逻辑。中华民族共同体的文化身份认同本质上就是对民族集体记忆的重构,文化记忆的对象是蕴含民族精神特质的文化符号,文化记忆的实践是通过符号文本的媒介叙述完成的,当今互联网和数字媒介蓬勃发展的时代,尤其需要注重通过媒介仪式对中华文化符号进行展示和传播,将中华文化符号价值内核通过故事化叙述嵌入到象征符号系统中,通过媒介文本建构中华民族共同体意识认同的价值叙事。

Cultural memory can shape collective identity and form emotional cohesion in the building of sense of community for the Chinese nation.The core issues of cultural memory include who remembers,what is remembered,and how to remember.By discussing the construction mechanism of the sense of community for the Chinese nation with analysis of the three core issues of the theory of cultural memory,we can more clearly understand the existence essence,generation mechanism and identity logic of the sense of community for the Chinese nation.Cultural identity of the community of Chinese nation is essentially the reconstruction of national collective memory,the object of cultural memory is the cultural symbol which embody the spirit of the nation,and the practice of cultural memory is conducted through the media narrative with text symbols.In contemporary era,when the Internet and digital media are vigorously developed,it is necessary to pay attention to displaying and transmission of the Chinese culture with media symbols.The core values of Chinese cultural symbols should be embedded into the symbol system,and narrative texts should be applied in the construction of sense of community for the Chinese nation.
