乡愁之声:符号学视角下乡村声音景观感知与意义呈现
The Sound of Xiangchou:Perception and the Meaning of Rural Soundscapes from a Semiotic Perspective
摘要
Abstract
As psychological research has expanded,the hegemony of vision in landscape studies has become increasingly challenging.As the second most critical sensory system after vision,sound has emerged as a key focus of theoretical inquiry.This paper focuses on individuals who have left their rural hometowns(hometown leavers)and used their auditory experiences as an analytical context.Drawing on in-depth interviews and using qualitative research methods such as coding analysis and semiotics,we uncovered the Xiangchou signification system of rural soundscape symbols and their operational mechanisms.We found that the perception of rural soundscapes by hometown-leavers followed a four-stage cognitive model:experience accumulation,representamen triggering,symbol reception and recognition,and meaning interpretation.First,the rural life experiences of hometown leavers formed the foundational prerequisites for awakening their perceptions of Xiangchou-related soundscape symbols.Their accumulated rural upbringing,inherited memories,and other lived rural experiences endowed them with a heightened sensitivity to sound symbols,which enabled seamless perception and reception.Second,during the symbolization of the Xiangchou soundscape,the perceptual trigger for the subject played an equally vital role.The activation and interpretation of sound symbols requires specific triggers.When respondents encounter sounds from their past,the unique timbre,pitch,or loudness of these sounds manifested as representamina,which overlapped with the imagined rural sound symbols stored in their minds.This overlap evoked a vivid sense of"as if it was yesterday,"which propelled the symbolization process forward.Third,within the traditional village spaces etched in the memories of hometown leavers,complex sound symbols intertwined to form a distinct rural soundscape system composed of animal calls,natural noises,and sounds of human activity.These concrete sounds in the physical world acted as triggers to bridge the spatiotemporal divide between the soundscape symbols accumulated in the subjects'rural memory,stirring a rich array of rural recollections.Fourth,soundscapes characterized by greater abstractness and associativity focus on awakening and engaging the auditory culture.Through cognitive processing,the subjects transcended mere auditory perception to form interpretive meanings,which elevated the auditory experiences of hometown leavers to the emotional realm of rural sentiments via specific sounds.Following reception and recognition,the meanings of these soundscape symbols gradually solidified and assumed symbolic weight.Receivers with rural experiences endowed sound symbols with interpretive intent,mirroring them into four categories of Xiangchou soundscape units:sentimental attachment,pastoral leisure,rustic amusement,and seasonal busyness,thereby generating emotional resonances such as nostalgia,relief from pressure,longing for the future,and a sense of belonging.Compared with visual landscapes,soundscapes have greater penetrative power,significantly deepening the sense of belonging and identity of the hometown leavers toward their rural roots.This indicates that,during modernization,the eroded intimate connections between people can find psychological compensatory fulfillment through Xiangchou soundscapes.Xiangchou sound symbols allowed the hometown leavers to project their perceptions of their past rural life based on their unique auditory cultural field.Amid fast-paced urban life,their wandering souls were temporarily disengaged,healed,and comforted,thereby achieving a brief return to their spiritual haven through sound.The seasonal busyness soundscape centers on land as its core symbol,carrying the emotional memories and cultural totems of hometown leavers and acting as a spiritual bond for identity affirmation and the reconstruction of belonging.The rustic amusement soundscape,which has childhood games and local rituals as its symbolic anchors,awakened joyful memories and cultural identity,which became an emotional solace for hometown leavers navigating spiritual displacement.关键词
