流变·敞开·不可说:作为事件的记忆诗学

Variability,Openness,Unspeakable:A Poetics of Memory as Events

事件哲学和记忆研究都聚焦于对历史事件的诊断和反思,因而二者具有天然的契合度。事件作为记忆的重要组成部分,其流变性、敞开性与不可言说性都与记忆的运行机制有着极大的相似性。事件哲学对传统形而上学先验论及常规秩序的打破,为记忆对现存秩序、框架的背叛研究提供了启发,即在政治权力和社会共同体秩序合谋的记忆构建中,从不同记忆版本中发掘被遮蔽和忽视的记忆。只有敞开记忆、发现记忆奇点、正视记忆,才能开拓出一条通向全新未来的道路。

Significant historical events in the 20th century have spurred the prosperity of memory studies.Both event philosophy and memory research focus on diagnosing and reflecting on historical events,naturally aligning memory with events.Placing memory within the scope of event philosophy reveals that memory studies need not be confined to an infinite approximation of past real events;they can also examine the dynamic mechanisms and reasons for their construction and dissemination.As a crucial component of memory,events share significant similarities with the operational mechanisms of memory in terms of variability,openness,and the unspeakable.Event philosophy,by disrupting traditional metaphysical apriorism and conventional order,inspires research into the betrayal of memory against existing orders and frameworks.In the construction of memory conspiring with political power and societal communal order,uncovering obscured and neglected memories from different versions becomes crucial.Only by opening up memory,discovering memory anomalies,and confronting memory can a path to an entirely new future be forged.
