从“复仇王子”到“丧文化符号”——当代高中生对哈姆雷特形象的认知重构

From “Avenging Prince” to “Symbol of Sang Culture”: The Cognitive Reconstruction of Hamlet’s Image Among Contemporary High School Students

This paper adopts the frameworks of reception aesthetics and subcultural theory to explore how high school students in the digital age cognitively reconstruct the image of Hamlet. The study finds that Hamlet, originally a symbol of humanist contradictions during the Renaissance, has undergone a paradigm shift under the combined influence of short video dissemination, educational simplification, and youth subcultures—from a noble tragic protagonist to “a symbol of sang culture”. His philosophical introspection has been reduced to nihilistic online memes, and his delayed actions are projected as a form of collective unconscious resistance to societal overcompetition. This reconstruction is not only a dynamic reinterpretation of a classic text across generations, but also a cultural symptom of social transformation: the fragmented dissemination of digital media strips away historical context, the utilitarian interpretation within educational settings weakens its critical dimension, and youth communities appropriate the symbol to express resistance and construct identity.

本文以接受美学与亚文化理论为分析框架，探讨数字时代高中生群体对哈姆雷特形象的认知重构现象。研究发现，文艺复兴时期作为人文主义矛盾载体的哈姆雷特形象，在短视频传播、教育窄化与青年亚文化的多重作用下，呈现出从崇高悲剧主体向“丧文化符号”的范式转型。其哲学思辨被简化为虚无主义网络热梗，行动延宕则被投射为对抗内卷的集体无意识。这种重构既是经典文本在代际传播中的动态阐释结果，更折射出社会转型期的文化症候：数字媒介的碎片化传播剥离了文本的历史语境，教育场域的功利化解读消解了社会批判维度，而青年群体通过符号挪用实现了抵抗性表达与身份认同建构。
