"Individual"and"collective":the axis paradigm of memory poetics and its problems
"Memory poetics",under the framework of pervasive memories,is inclined to fall into the risks of"symbol overload"or"excessive expansion",giving rise to the illusion that all the theories about memory can be called"memory poetics".Furthermore,the connotation and extension of such paradigms as"collective memory","social memory"and"cultural memory"are complicated and uncertain,precipitating the studies of memory poetics into a situation of ambiguity.Therefore,with the axis paradigm of"memory poetics",namely"individual memory and collective memory",as the coordinate axis,this paper analyzes the theoretical connotation and axis paradigm of"memory poetics"while prudently treating such problems as"the present center theory"and"the binary opposition"manifested in the collective memory theory."Collective consciousness"and"super dualism"are used to repair the shortcomings and omissions of collective memory so as to clarify the"ambiguity"of"memory poetics".While making more explicit the axis paradigm of"memory poetics"and its problems,it provides the academic basis for the"practice"of"memory poetics"theory.
