Abstract/Summary:
As the carrier and medium of cultural memory,museums play multiple roles in the bearing,dissemination and construction of cultural memory in modern society.The Henan Museum is the "memory place" of the history and culture of the Central Plains,and plays an important role in the process of carrying and constructing cultural memory.Taking the cultural memory of Henan Museum as the research object,it is of important theoretical and practical significance to explore how contemporary media construct the cultural memory of Henan Museum.This paper takes the theory of cultural memory and the theory of media materiality as the theoretical basis,combined with the changes in the concept of "mainly things","from things to people" and "let cultural relics come alive" in the development process of museums,and the combination of this theory and practical experience explores how different media(museum media,body media,technical media)construct the cultural memory of Henan Museum from multiple angles.Participatory observation methods,case studies,and textual analysis methods are the main research methods in this paper.Through field investigation and participatory observation,the author collects data,observes and experiences the online and offline behavior of participants,and interprets the construction methods and processes of the cultural memory of the Henan Museum media,body media and technical media.The study found that from the media division,different media use different ways in the construction process and exert their own different attributes.First of all,through the confirmation of the identity of the "Henan Museum Media",the Henan Museum,which carries the cultural memories of the Central Plains,the Yellow River and the Red Mountains,is analyzed as the material construction of cultural memory through venues,buildings and spaces.Secondly,the perspective shifts to the "body medium" to explore the practice of the body media and the memory interaction practice of the Henan Museum in the process of participation,communication and experience.Physical exercises and body actions are ritually constructed in practice for the cultural memory of the Henan Museum.In the post-human era,the "technology medium" realizes the reproduction of the cultural memory of the museum through "awakening,activation and innovation".In order to resist the social amnesia of the digital age,the Henan Museum recreates the cyberspace of cultural memory and achieves the role of continuity of cultural memory.Finally,the article summarizes the value of the three media construction methods,and finds that the media construction of cultural memory of Henan Museum has contemporary values of inheriting traditional culture,enhancing cultural self-confidence,and condensing cultural identity.In addition,based on the interaction and expression of media memory,the author summarizes the experience of memory practice,and thinks about the relationship between people and cultural relics,people and technology,in order to summarize the enlightening experience for other museums to learn.
