文章選取蘇州博物館新館作為個案,通過對博物館敘事構成、敘事時間和敘事聲音的分析,揭示新博物館建筑所講述的傳統與現代、地方與世界、個性與定制相融合的故事;博物館新館展陳空間以"吳"統領本地傳統和歷史文化的講述,提供蘇州城市認同的本地傳統資源;參觀者敘事借助新媒介技術能動地滲入、融匯并重構了博物館敘事。該個案分析闡明了如下相對普適的理論意義:博物館媒介在城市傳播體系中以敘事空間與時間的關系處理而標識出其獨特性存在;它作為被構筑的環境,因為參訪者的挪用、生產和再生產而呈現出開放性、流動性和不一致性;新媒介技術作為一種建構的力量,促成參觀者主體的介入,使博物館敘事的意義建構在主體間更多的互動中完成;博物館作為媒介空間在城市傳播中通過敘事建構開啟的交往實踐,促成了既具有意識形態規制又具有城市認同意義提煉的閾限性體驗,從而使"市民創造城市"成為可能。

This paper takes Suzhou Museum as a case to analyze various aspects of its narrative constitution, narrative time and narrative voice. The analysis reveals that the new museum building tells a story of tradition and modernity, the local and the world, personality and customization being merged together; the museum’s exhibition with"Wu"leading the story of local tradition and historical culture provides sources for the city identity of Suzhou; visitor’s narratives, aided by new media technologies, infiltrate, fuse and reconstruct the museum narrative. This case study makes clear the following theoretical points. First, by dealing with the relation between narrative time and space, the museum as a medium displays its uniqueness in the city communication system. Second, through the visitors’ appropriation, production and reproduction, the museum as a built environment presents its openness, fluidity and inconsistencies. Third, the constitutive power of new media technologies facilitates the intervention of visitors’ subjectivity in the museum narrative and makes the meaning construction of the narrative complete with more interactions among various subjects. And finally,the intercourse practices activated by the narrative construction in the museum as a mediaspace in the city communication contribute to the liminal experiences that bear not only the significance of city’s identity but also the ideological discipline, making it possible that "citizens create city".
