文章分析了涂尔干和韦伯的经典社会学思想对新加坡国庆庆典的解释力。作者提出,新加坡国庆庆典是一种与民族-国家有关的有预谋、有意识的表象建构。它被发明成传统,需要科层的、理性的组织。它在有机团结的社会中,创造了机械团结,并且必须通过对国家机构的操控来实现。简言之,新加坡的国庆庆典说明了,涂尔干的功能要通过韦伯的方法实现。 The article analyzes Durkheim and Weber’s classic sociological thoughts on the interpretation of Singapore’s National Day celebration. The author proposes that Singapore’s National Day celebration is a premeditated and conscious representation related to the nation-state. It was invented as a tradition, requiring bureaucratic and rational organization. It has created mechanical unity in a society of organic solidarity and must be achieved through the manipulation of state institutions. In short, the celebration of Singapore’s National Day shows that Durkheim’s function is to be achieved through Weber’s method.
