摘　　要：21世纪初,以杰弗里·亚历山大为代表的一批聚集在斯坦福大学行为科学高等研究中心的社会学家,在否定病理学的、本质主义的创伤理论基础上,正式发展出了建构主义的“文化创伤”理论,或曰关于创伤的建构主义社会理论。这种创伤观认为,创伤并非自然存在,而是符号/表征的建构,创伤不是生而为创伤的,而是变成创伤的。理解、揭示这个建构的性质、过程和机制,是文化创伤理论所致力的核心目标。In the early twenty-first century,a group of sociologists based at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University,represented by Jeffrey C.Alexander,formally developed a constructivist theory of cultural trauma,or a constructivist social theory of trauma.Based on the rejection of pathological and essentialist theories of trauma,this theory argues that trauma does not exist naturally,but is a symbolic/representational construct;trauma,therefore,is not innately traumatizing but becomes so through social and cultural interpretations and interactions.The primary objective of this cultural trauma theory is to uncover and understand the nature,processes,and mechanisms behind this construction,thereby providing insights into the social underpinnings of trauma.
