Traumatic Memory And Its Construction Of The Group Who Have Lost Their Only Child

In China,with the number of many parents who have lost their only child on the rise increasingly,it is a worthy issue to delve into that how the event of lost their only child as a kind of cultural trauma has been constructed.The parents who have lost their only child went through the feeling of sadness and pain,after that,they have showed a striking similarity in the "main events" and"monumental moment",especially in the cognition and expression of the so-called "public issues".The group who have lost their only child seems to form a kind of community,and they naturally have developed a set of narrative logic and position with integrity and unity in the community.In other words,the individual traumatic memory which is personal and eventual,has been turned into the traumatic memory which is integrity and universality,by means of the cultural identity and collective identity.Therefore,focusing on the traumatic memory in the periodic change of process in evolution and development,and how the traumatic memory influenced on identity,is the basis of tins article to expand the core issues and clues.Theorically speaking,we use the "traumatic memory" theory to analyze the group who have lost their only child,in order to get a glimpse of the development and evolvement in traumatic memory of this group,Then study the reason of traumatic memory of the group who have their only child with remarkable collectivity,sociality and suffering,and analysis the effect of traumatic memory on individual action and ability.Based on this,we try to set forth the mode and characteristics of the group's traumatic memory,besides,the cultural implication of "lost only child" plays an important influence that cannot be ignored.The group who have lost their only child as a community of special memory,they have to face both the fact of"lost only child" and its deep cultural implication with the significance behind the fact.They are distributed as individuals in society,while pointing to the same cultural identity-"the people who have lost their only child".This title means "no descendants",means "retribution",means "lonely and old",leading to the damage and destruction of blood-cultural system,traditional moral conception and social ethic values.As a kind of typical cultural trauma experience,this group show collective identities under the group consciousness,meanwhile,which leads to cultural identity under the ethical relationship system,as well as pessimistic life vision and reproduction of their cultural trauma.Based on this,the traumatic memory of the group who have lost their only child have through three different dimensions with group characteristics,victim identity and sharing framework.Firstly,from the genesis of the term,the group's traumatic memory is closely associated with the"Family Planning" policy.As a fertility culture and practice guidance under the special historical background and social environment,the policy has established the social order.Which means the people not only in the face of the "panoramic" monitoring network and a strict system of "punished for related",but also accept the tamed body and rigid birth control.Therefore,the group's traumatic memory always revolve around the theme of the "suffering",and show the evolution process of traumatic memory from three aspects:body,countries and self.In macroscopical sight,the group's traumatic memory appears as the interweave with social transformation and system power,weak sense of security and tension under passive compromise,as well as the birth behavior and logical incrimination from private domain to the public domain.Secondly,from the reconstruction of this term,the group's traumatic memory taken "forgotten"as internal mechanism,through appropriation and tailoring of text,screening for effective information and the internal integration to complete the recombination,filtration and integration of traumatic memory.Specifically,the group treat the "5 · 20" into Beijing day each year as ritualized behavior,make full use of technology network interaction and information to share and interact,together with the "magnifying glass" of media mode and operation mechanism,the above three aspects as the main carrier of the traumatic memory reconstruction.Because of this,the traumatic memory of parents who have lost their only child are leading to fragmentation in the independent life and self-worth,infiltration in the negative emotional states,and addiction in the individual narration about sufferings.Finally,from the continuation and strengthening process of this term,we construct a "memory-identity" framework,and take the identity as an important point in collective memory of the group.Then according to the social and cultural process of traumatic memory,they make the union of collective actors,the object of narration and the cultural environment as well as the representation of architecture.The people who have lost their child mainly on some interest as the standard,they have finished to rewrite the original memory under the framework,topic,significance and content in different stages.Accompanied by reinforcement and selection memory have been constitutes the dual mechanism of how individual memory is rewritten,the original memory has to be constantly adjusted,modified,supplemented or even replaced.Hence,the group's memory transfer from "me" to "we",thus they complete the initial text of the collective collaboration and sharing of traumatic memory,and from training and maintain to complete the traumatic memory in daily life,finished as the "generation of suffering" identity and memory picture in the end.Thus,the traumatic memory of the group who have lost their only child,is actually a process of constantly being rewritten and strengthening,which is serving the needs of the present,but also reference to the inner self cognition and identification.We can almost tell,as time goes on,the group's traumatic memory will be changed more,some phenomenon such as deformation,distortion or even distorted will be more often.In fact,history is gone,the traumatic memory which is irrational and emphatic,will have a huge impact on this group and its cultural habits.Now this group presents some restlessness and repeated performance such as collective action,is mainly comes from the destruction and change in original identity of the traumatic memory.Anyway,our attention to traumatic memory,is not only for "against forgetting",is also for"understanding present" better,it is come to the rescue of this group in essence.All in all,the enlightenment in study this group from the theoretical perspective of traumatic memory is that:the group deserve the humanities concern of the society in reality,we not only do have to provide security and backing for them,but also provide a benign power in social and cultural environment and atmosphere.So that we can construct the social culture and institutional arrangements which is more perfect and more tender feeling for them.
