Reproduction of Nationhood:Text Generation and Narrative Gist in Museum Spaces
As a space that gathers the essence of national material culture,museums transcend the constraints of spatial art expression,embodying the aesthetic qualities of temporal art.They serve as the dissemination text that takes its own material space as a yardstick,conveying the discourse that strengthens the collective consciousness of the national community.With the differentiated narrative based on the core theme of grandeur,the museum architecture shapes the modern individual's imagination of the sublime image of the Chinese nation.Artifacts that share the same thematic culture are displayed in a concentrated manner,constructing a chapter that recounts a specific part of the bright national culture.The architectural and exhibition narratives of museums are products of ideological constructs that promote the top-down reproduction of nationhood.In their daily interactions with the texts of the museum space,the public practices reader narratives that revolve around choosing,discussing,consuming,and performing the nation,contributing to the realization of the bottom-up reproduction of nationhood.The museum space as a text is a product of the co-construction of official narratives and individual discourses,mapping the convergence and intertwining of the reproduction of structuralist nationhood and individualist nationhood in daily life.
