本文以波兰的档案和民族志资料为基础，认为民族神话是由历史事件构成的，并体现在视觉和物质文化中，而视觉和物质文化又构成了民族主体对现在的理解。它表明，物质表达和感官知觉的不同部位之间的汇聚和交换，以及它们压缩成跨颞叶节点我称之为“国家感觉中枢”使它们特别有弹性。即便如此，作为历史建构的、偶然的和有争议的神话系统，民族神话能够塑造民族认同或动员民族主义行动的程度取决于它们所处的特定历史背景。在理论上，本文结合历史和现象学的方法，提出了一个框架，思考宪法，持久性和不断变化的社会和政治民族神话的效价。
Based on archival and ethnographic data from the Polish case, this article argues that national mythology is structured by historical events and embodied in visual and material cultures, which in turn frame national subjects’ understanding of the present. It suggests that the convergence and exchange between diverse sites of material expression and sensory perception, and their compression into trans-temporal nodes—what I call the “national sensorium”—makes them especially resilient. Even so, as historically constructed, contingent and contested systems of myths, the extent to which national mythologies can shape national identity or mobilize toward nationalist action depends on the specific historical contexts in which they are deployed. Theoretically, this article joins historical and phenomenological approaches to propose a framework for thinking about the constitution, persistence and shifting social and political valences of national mythologies.
