历史记忆与媒介传播——族群—象征主义视角下影响民族建构的两个维度

Historical Memory and Media Communication——Two dimensions of Ethnic Construction from the perspective of Ethno-Symbolism

族群—象征主义可视为对现代主义民族建构的补充与修正。以此为视角,选择历史记忆与媒介传播两个因素,呈现该理论对民族以及民族建构的整体性把握。历史记忆是指以历史形态呈现和流传的一种集体记忆,是一个社会中多数成员脑海里留存的对过去事件的系统性再现,其实是一种身份认同的寻觅。在共同体的建构上,建构者要寻求一种最广泛的影响因素,如文化与历史记忆的广泛性,媒介传播便是一种共同联结的探寻,以形成横纵一体的民族建构的联结形态。在网络时代,解构性要素弥漫成为对民族建构的一大挑战。

The ethno-symbolism can be regarded as the supplement and rectification of modernist ethnic construction.From this perspective,this paper utilizes two factors,historical memory and media communication,to present the theory’s coverage of nationality and ethnic construction.Historical memory refers to the collective memory presented and spread in the form of history.It’s the systematic reappearance of past events in the minds of most majors of the society,and essentially the search for identity recognition.As for the construction of a community,the constructor should find the general factors,such as extensive culture and historical memory.Media communication is a kind of joint exploration,forming a both horizontal and vertical connection constructed by the nation.In the times of the Internet,the permeation of deconstruction element has become a great challenge to ethic construction.
