家族记忆与集体人格

记忆可以用知识考古学的方法追索其中事实的一面和表述的一面,它不仅是被历史、文化、政治等外部力量形塑的产物,也是记忆主体能动性的建构的结果,以保存和延续他们认可的价值体系和文化规范。家族的集体记忆成为了形成集体人格的文化背景,在抽象的人格结构背后真正为我们所观察和掌握的就是记忆。南村的历史表明,家族性格来源于记忆,我们能够在过去的记忆中追索现存体验的更丰富内涵。

The Memory of Family and its Collective Personality

We can use the archaeological method to scan the two sides of memory:the facts and the presentation.The memory is not only a product shaped by history,culture,politics and other external forces,but also a result of people initiative,which is used to preserve and extend their recognized value system and cultural norms.Family s collective memory has become the cultural background of the collective personality,and it is what we can really observe and control behind the abstract personality structure. The history of Nancun shows that we can get richer connotation from existing experience in the past.
