中文摘要：古代中西方交流中,在无法以书籍作为媒介进行直接文明交流的条件下,实在的“物”便成了文化形象建构的载体。古希腊文献中最早出现的“赛里斯”在西方古典时代兼具功能性作用和文化符号价值。从古希腊到古罗马,“赛里斯”意指内涵不断发生改变,其所指和能指最终与中国丝绸建立起对应关系,成为西方古典文献中的中国形象。“赛里斯”符号变迁的历程既是古代西方人拓展文化交流,利用西亚、中亚和印度等中间媒介有关中国的传说,对“他者”进行想象的结果,也是西方古典文化自我镜像的反映。对“赛里斯”形成的“想象的认同”,潜藏着古典时期西方人进行社会批判和表达政治理想的文化功能,体现了国家形象建构的传播学主体性和主体间性相统一的规律。

外文摘要：In the ancient Chinese and Western exchanges,under the condition that books could not be used as a medium for direct communication,real"things"became the carrier of cultural image construction.The earliest"Seris"in the ancient Greek literature had both a functional role and a cultural symbolic value in the Western classical era.From ancient Greece to ancient Rome,the connotation of"Seris"has changed constantly,and its reference finally established a corresponding relationship with Chinese silk,becoming the image of China in Western classical literature.The evolution of the symbol of"Seris"is not only the result of the ancient Westerners’expansion of cultural exchanges,the use of intermediate media such as West Asia,Central Asia,and India to imagine the"other",but also the reflection of the self-mirroring of Western classical culture.The"Imaginary Identity"formed by"Seris"hides the cultural function of Westerners’social criticism and expression of political ideals in the classical period,and reflects the law of the unity of communication subjectivity and intersubjectivity in the construction of national image.
