Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between First World War Centenary commemoration and state-sponsored nationalism in New Zealand. In the national museum’s Gallipoli exhibition, commemoration shifts from its traditional emphasis upon military sacrifice for the nation. Film-related special effects technology promotes individual affective identification with suffering and loss, but also extolls the ingenious achievements and talents of both New Zealand soldiers historically, and Gallipoli’s producers. National identity is aligned with state promotion of creative and technological innovation as central to economic growth. The national myth-making of Gallipoli locates a technologically sophisticated modern New Zealand in the historical experience of the War.

民族主义的技术:第一次世界大战纪念和新西兰加里波利展览

摘要:本文考察了新西兰第一次世界大战一百周年纪念活动与国家支持的民族主义之间的关系。在国家博物馆加里波利的展览中，纪念活动从传统上强调为国家牺牲的军事活动转变为纪念活动。与电影相关的特效技术促进了个人对痛苦和损失的情感认同，但也颂扬了新西兰士兵在历史上的独创性成就和才华，以及加里波利的制片人。国家认同与国家促进创造性和技术创新作为经济增长的核心是一致的。加利波利的国家神话创造将一个技术先进的现代新西兰置于战争的历史经验中。

期刊介绍： National Identities explores the formation and expression of national identity from antiquity to the present day. It examines the role in forging identity of cultural (language, architecture, music, gender, religion, the media, sport, encounters with "the other" etc.) and political (state forms, wars, boundaries) factors, by examining how these have been shaped and changed over time. The historical significance of "nation"in political and cultural terms is considered in relationship to other important and in some cases countervailing forms of identity such as religion, region, tribe or class. The focus is on identity, rather than on contingent political forms that may express it. The journal is not prescriptive or proscriptive in its approach.
