摘要

近年来,基础设施奠基仪式及其仪式和政治效应备受关注。然而,作为世界上最大的基础设施建设者和供应者以及 "礼仪之邦",中国的基建仪式却在某种程度上被忽视了。本研究利用基础设施和仪式研究的洞察力,并借助中国官方媒体的叙述,旨在探讨基础设施仪式如何塑造作为技术工艺品的基础设施的社会政治意义。通过中国的案例,我们发现基础设施仪式叙事的三个要素(时间、需求和关系)被聚焦、重组和放大。然后,这些要素又与跨越中国现代史各个时代的更广泛的社会政治叙事交织在一起。我们的目的是通过中国仪式的案例,为深入理解基础设施意义的社会政治生产提供一个视角。

Ritual narratives of infrastructure ceremonies: Time, demands, and relations in modern Chinese history
In recent years, attention has been drawn to infrastructure groundbreaking ceremonies and their ritual and political effects. However, infrastructure ceremonies in China, the world’s largest builder and supplier of infrastructure and the ‘nation of rites’, are somehow overlooked. Using insights from infrastructure and ritual studies, and leveraging narratives from Chinese official media, this study aims to explore how infrastructure rituals shape the sociopolitical significance of infrastructure as technical artefact. Through the Chinese case, we find that three elements of infrastructure ritual narratives (time, demands, and relations) are focused, restructured, and amplified. These elements are then interwoven into broader sociopolitical narratives spanning various eras of modern Chinese history. Our aim is to provide a perspective for a deeper understanding of the sociopolitical production of infrastructure meanings through the case of Chinese ceremonies.
