民族艺术和民族国家的建设具有互构共生的关系。相声作为一种民族艺术,在民族国家的建构中起到了重要的作用。在中国现代性的进程中,董每戡、张寿臣等人与郭德纲选取了相声传统中的相关因素,重构了相声史,以此来定义中华民族的根源与特性,为民族国家的建设确立合法性,而关于民族艺术的书写又掩盖了民族国家的现代性起源,将民族国家建构成为了一个本质性与延续性的存在。 The construction of national art and nation-state has the relationship of mutualism and symbiosis. As a national art, crosstalk plays an important role in the construction of nation-state. In the process of China’s modernity, Dong Zhizhi, Zhang Shouchu and others and Guo Degang selected the relevant factors in the tradition of comic dialogue and reconstructed the history of comic dialogue in order to define the root causes and characteristics of the Chinese nation and establish the law for the nation-state construction However, the writing of national art also masks the origin of the modernity of the nation-state and constructs the nation-state as an essential and continuous existence.
