用语料库分析宗教遗物的表述变迁,为数字技术设计提供文化伦理依据。

Digital hybridity and relics in cultural heritage: using corpus linguistics to inform design in emerging technologies from AI to VR

  • 通过语料库分析16-17世纪与2021年文本中'遗物'的修饰词演变
  • 发现遗物从宗教政治工具转为历史记忆符号,反映认知变迁
  • 提醒数字技术(如AI、VR)在增强可及性时需尊重神圣性与感官体验

混合技术使物理与数字元素融合,重塑人们对世界尤其是宗教与世俗遗物的互动方式。然而,在数字化具有文化重要性的对象时,如何负责任地呈现信仰、信念与象征意义仍面临挑战。本文从语言学视角出发,分析早期现代英语书籍与2021年网络文本中'遗物'一词的语境。结果表明:早期文本将遗物视为道德与精神象征,亦是宗教与政治控制工具;而当代文本则更多将其视为反映历史事件、地点与传统的遗产符号。我们讨论了基于人工智能的混合技术如何提升可及性与参与度,同时挑战传统对真实性与感官体验的敏感认知——这些正是遗物意义的核心。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Hybrid technologies enable the blending of physical and digital elements, creating new ways to experience and interact with the world. Such technologies can transform engagement with relics, both secular and sacred but they present challenges for capturing faith, belief, and representation responsibly. Given the complexities of digital representation and the ethical challenges inherent in digitising culturally significant objects, a transdisciplinary understanding of these issues is needed. To inform this discussion from a linguistic perspective, we examined the representation of relics in historical and contemporary texts. Using a corpus linguistic approach to extract modifiers of the word relic in corpora of Early Modern English books and contemporary web sourced texts from 2021, we examined the multifaceted ways in which relics have been perceived and evaluated over time. Early texts consider relics as both objects of moral and spiritual significance, and tools of religious and political control, while they are more often framed as heritage symbols, reflecting past events, places, and traditions in contemporary texts. We discuss how hybrid, sometimes AI based technologies can enhance accessibility and engagement, whilst also challenging traditional sensitivities around authenticity and sensory experience, which are integral to the meaning and significance of relics.
