Carlos Rojas presents a sweeping survey of the historical and political significance of one of the world's most recognizable monuments. Although the splendor of the Great Wall has become virtually synonymous with its vast size, the structure's conceptual coherence is actually grounded on the tenuous and ephemeral stories we tell about it. These stories give life to the Wall and help secure its hold on our collective imagination, while at the same time permitting it to constantly reinvent itself in accordance with the needs of each new era. Through an examination of allusions to the Wall in an eclectic array of texts - ranging from official dynastic histories, elite poetry, and popular folktales, to contemporary tourist testimonials, children's songs, and avant-garde performance art - this study maps out a provocative new framework for understanding the structure's function and significance. This volume approaches the Wall through the stories we tell and contends that it is precisely in this cultural history that we may find the Wall's true meaning, together with the secret of its greatness.
Carlos Rojas is Associate Professor of Chinese Cultural Studies, Women’s Studies, and Arts of the Moving Image at Duke University.
有些简单了
评分很多可以再扩展一下。讲现代那章应该加上瞿秋白对'万里长城'的各种挪用。

评分讨论关于长城的文化神话,总的来说是把长城具有的unity和historical continuity作为不断重新整合的结果。具体case study有历时性地讨论一些著名的长城故事是如何逐渐变化成型的(比如孟姜女的故事),也有分析现代以来长城如何被征用以投射不同的观点。看得出来巫鸿在纪念碑性那本书中关于“长安的形象”一章对本书的影响。
