《京之轴》：城市形象的空间生产与多维叙事建构

The Axis of Beijing: Spatial Production and the Construction of Multidimensional Narratives in Urban Image-Making

摘要: 本研究以纪录片《京之轴》为研究对象，基于空间叙事与城市符号学视角，系统探讨北京中轴线作为城市形象核心符号的建构与传播机制。文章首先分析纪录片如何通过影像编码将中轴线从物理空间转化为承载历史记忆、文化认同与现代性表达的象征空间；进而从叙事策略、符号转译与媒介技术三个层面，剖释其中体现的时间压缩、双线并置、声音景观等多重话语实践；最后，通过对记忆场域重构与跨媒介传播矩阵的考察，反思当代城市形象生产中文化传承与意义流动的辩证关系，以期为历史文化符号的当代传播与活态保护提供理论参照与实践路径。

Abstract: This study takes the documentary The Axis of Beijing as its research object. From the perspectives of spatial narration and urban semiotics, it systematically explores the construction and communication mechanisms of Beijing’s Central Axis as the core symbol of the city’s image. First, the paper analyzes how the documentary transforms the Central Axis from a physical space into a symbolic space bearing historical memory, cultural identity, and expressions of modernity through image encoding. Furthermore, from three dimensions—narrative strategies, symbolic translation, and media technologies—it dissects multiple discursive practices embodied therein, such as time compression, dual-line parallelism, and soundscape. Finally, by examining the reconstruction of memory fields and the cross-media communication matrix, this study reflects on the dialectical relationship between cultural inheritance and meaning flow in the production of contemporary urban images. It aims to provide theoretical references and practical approaches for the contemporary communication and dynamic preservation of historical and cultural symbols.
