宗族与都市空间：基于衢州地方志的研究

张崇

空间是一种社会建构，与人类对于过去的理解以及文化现象的生产密切相关。本文以衢州地方志中对于宗族的记载为研究对象，试图从中找到以宗族为文化肌理所构成的城市坊巷空间。这包括“左祖右社，前朝后市”的都市格局；“旌别淑慝，表厥宅里”，“观民设教，因地制宜”的坊巷教化空间；“里仁为美”的都市美学观。通过宗族纽带构建起来的坊巷文化空间，成为中国传统城市设施、符号、场所的意义来源，这或许为当下都市空间的构建提供某些启示。

Historical texts, local voices and the cultural

(re-)making of the past in the present:

A discourse study of heritage in Quzhou, China

Hou Song

Abstract: Heritage is increasingly recognized as discursive practice. What it is and does are shaped and constrained by discourses relevant to it. Contemporary heritage conception and practices around the world is dominated by Western “authorized heritage discourse” (AHD, Smith 2006) and other “newly emerging globalized heritage discourse” (Wu and Hou forthcoming). In this research project, I aim to problematize the universality of such discursive construction and make heard Chinese local discourse of what we today call “heritage” for multicultural dialogue. To this end, I construct an interdisciplinary, intercultural framework of discourse study that encompasses not only discourse analytical work on historical texts related to heritage issues, but also endeavors in re-narrating heritages as an alternative way to do critical discourse study.

        My inquiry is anchored in Quzhou, one of the state-sanctioned cultural-historic cities. It is three-fold. First, I utilize the Chinese concept ‘guji’ (古迹) to unravel a culturally different way in understanding the past in the present. Through discourse analysis of guji in Quzhou local gazetteers, I demonstrate how it is divergent from authoritative contemporary representations of heritage in terms of categorization, materiality, and site.  Second, I examine how what we today call “heritage” are discursively represented and constructed in Quzhou gazetteers. Of special interests is the use of quotations, annotations and poetry and how they contribute to the meaning-making of the past in the present. Third, I use what I call multi-discursive ethnography to remake Quzhou heritages. Through two cases studies--the Wenchang Temple and the Heavenly Queen Palace, I show how a critical discourse study of contemporary Chinese heritage can be done by transforming the way it is represented and how Chinese local heritage may find its meanings in ethnographic narratives that assemble local voices and indigenous cultural values in the perspective of Confucian discursive ethics.   

Key words: heritage discourse, historical texts, local voices,   multi-discursive ethnography, Quzhou
