金秀瑶族神话之“族群认同”——基于罗兰·巴特“神话学”符号分析模式

A Study of Ethnic Identity Contained in Jinxiu Yao Nationality's Myths and Chinese Cultural Identity--from the Perspective of Roland Barthes'Mythological Semiotic Analysis Pattern

神话是金秀瑶族历史演变的一种言说方式,为其族群发展所提供的功能与内涵已然超出了神话作为符号本身的意义,且蕴含着大量“族群认同”叙事,这些内容又与中华文化高度重合。通过神话,金秀瑶族在中华民族框架下构建历史记忆,背后体现出对中华文化的认同。本文以法国符号学家罗兰·巴特“神话学”符号分析模式为框架,论述金秀瑶族神话故事的分类和在演变中产生的社会功能——族群认同,进而探讨金秀瑶族产生的中华文化认同意识。

Myth is a way of expressing the history of the Jinxiu Yao Nationality,and the function and the connotation it contributes to the development of the Nationality exceeds its significance as a symbol.Besides,the mentioned myths are abundant with narration of ethnic identity,which is highly overlapping with Chinese culture.Therefore,the people of Jinxiu Yao Nationality construct the historical memory under the framework of the Chinese nation through myths,reflecting the approval of Chinese culture.From the perspective of mythological semiotic pattern analysis raised by Roland Barthes,the French semiologist,the study argues the category of Jinxiu Yao Nationality's myths and the social function of ethnic identity generated in the development,thus discussing the consciousness of Chinese cultural identity of the Nationality.
