Traumatic memory of industrial heritage and its mechanism for community cultural identity:A case study of Tiexi District,Shenyang
In the current industrial heritage movement,heritages have gradually become a new type of consumer enclave or monumental industrial holy site that is dis-embedded from the development of heritage communities.The community is the primary environment of a heritage,and the emotional relationship between the community and a heritage's history,memory,knowledge and identity constitutes an important challenge to the conservation,utilization and sustainable development of a heritage.From the theoretical perspective of traumatic memory,based on a comprehensive analysis of factory records of state-owned large-scale industrial enterprises,network texts,and interview texts of workers,this paper aims to reveal the mechanism of traumatic memory affecting community identity and heritage conservation in Tiexi District of Shenyang.It is found that the lack of understanding of the heritage's emotional value in the process of industrial heritage conservation and the lack of interaction with the community are reasons for the community to treat the industrial heritage as a foreign culture.Influenced by the environment,body and cultural trauma,the community forms the traumatic memory of the heritage,which makes the meaning of the heritage site reconstructed and become a"love-hate"painful place.As an important factor affecting community industrial cultural identity,traumatic memory will limit community participation and action in heritage conservation.This paper argues that the contradictory and detrimental features of industrial heritage should be recognized,and envisaged,presented and responded to;We should value the identity of community as the primary environment of heritage and rebuild the relationship between community and heritage;Through oral history,witness literature,collective narration,tourism exhibition and other ways,trauma can be declared and fully explained,so as to establish the connection between the past and the present,thus the"victims"can depart from the memory dilemma and form a heritage identity.This will help the industrial heritage grow into the common heritage of the society,and achieve the sustainable development of heritage conservation and utilization through the collaboration of community and power,capital,and professional knowledge.
