摘要
“纸生仔”创伤记忆是美国排华历史中个体与集体创伤的缩影。通过融合档案记忆观与文化创伤理论，提出档案创伤记忆观，以“形式—内容—意义”创伤记忆再生产框架进行分析。“纸生仔”档案资料主要由美国国家档案馆和天使岛移民站基金会保管，且普遍具有创伤属性，可作为创伤记忆再生产的核心媒介。“纸生仔”创伤记忆再生产在形式、内容和意义三个层面上通过转化、叙事、阐释和落地，使“纸生仔”创伤记忆从个体创伤转变为文化创伤，但还需通过技术赋能、场域重构、批判叙事等优化策略突破现行创伤记忆再生产过程中的困境。

Abstract
The traumatic memory of "Paper Sons" epitomizes both individual and collective trauma in the history of Chinese exclusion in the United States. By integrating archival memory theory with cultural trauma theory, this paper proposes an archival traumatic memory perspective and analyzes it through a "Form-Content-Meaning" reproduction framework. The study finds that "Paper Sons" archives, primarily preserved by the U.S. National Archives and the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, serve as the core medium of traumatic memory reproduction. The reproduction of "Paper Sons" traumatic memory is transformed from individual trauma to cultural trauma through transformation, narration, interpretation and landing at three levels of form, content and meaning. However, optimization strategies such as technological empowerment, field reconstruction, and critical narrative are needed to overcome the challenges in the current reproduction process of traumatic memory.
