作为文化现象的“西南联大热”及其表征分析

An Analysis of the“National Southwest Associated University Fever”as a Cultural Phenomenon

20世纪80年代以后,关于西南联大的研究著作及论文大量出现,联大史料被挖掘,西南联大回忆录、散文、随笔相继出版,电影、电视剧、纪录片接连热播,形成一种可观的“热”现象。“西南联大热”是人们怀旧的产物,承载了反思与消费的双重功效,寄托了知识分子的理想与期待,也反映了他们对现代高等教育的不满与反思。在消费主义的推动下,“西南联大热”日益娱乐化、庸俗化。在正确认识联大历史的基础上,继承西南联大的文化遗产,推动高等教育更加健康地发展。

After the 1980s,a large number of academic works and theses about the National South‐west Associated University(NSAU)appeared,historical materials of NSAU were excavated,and its memoirs,essays and articles were published,not to mention a dazzling array of movies,TV dramas and documentaries produced about the same theme.In short,there appeared a phenomenon of“fever”of a considerable scale.As a nostalgic product,this fever carried the dual effects of reflection and consump‐tion,harbored the ideals and expectations of the intellectuals,and reflected their dissatisfaction with and reflection on modern higher education.Driven by consumerism,the fever has become increasingly com‐mercialized and vulgarized.We should inherit the cultural heritage of the NSAU on the basis of a correct understanding of its history to promote healthier development of higher education.
