以广西龙州县边境乡村的法式民居景观为例,从历史的角度分析法式民居景观兴盛的缘由,并探讨其象征意义及认同建构。研究发现,法式民居景观作为承载文化意义的符号,是财富和社会地位的象征;又因其宫殿式形态,成为当地人幻想更大权欲以获得自我满足的源泉。此外,法式民居景观强化了当地村民对自身身份的认同建构,并唤起了他们对历史的缅怀、对家的归属感和对地方的认同感。研究既是对新文化地理学关于景观研究向社会文化意义转向的例证,也是对新文化地理学中关于地方、景观与认同关系研究的回应。
According to the new cultural geography,culture is not an intrinsic,unified whole,but composes of different.Although Longzhou's French-decorated folk houses landscape is famous as‘historic',it is not a mere relic of the past but a landscape under continual reproduction.French-decorated folk houses adorned with sculptures and vibrant colors feature a variety of modern architectural styles with foreign and exotic imaginaries.The residential landscape plays an important role not just in a formal sense but also in terms of secular judgment of personal fortune where thrifty peasants become lavish spenders with the ability to discriminate,selecting high-quality decoration that reflect their economy strength.In addition,French-decorated folk houses also strengthen the personal identity and local identity of local peasants.The study is not only exemplified on the change of landscape research to the social and cultural significance in the field of new cultural geography,but also a response to the core research issue of the relationship between the locality,landscape and identity in the discipline of new cultural geography.
