《艺市民俗学》评述

如果我们将人类所创造的文化比作一个大花园,那么在这大花园里万紫千红、如锦如霞的花朵中,最美丽的一朵大概就是人类的艺术了。在各种各样的辞典中,我们不难查到关于艺术的定义,但在这里,我们不愿意引用辞典中干巴巴的定义,因为那些定义实在是委屈了艺术这美丽的花朵。还是来看看《罗丹艺术论》中对艺术的解说吧：“艺术,就是所谓静观、默察;是深入自然,渗透自然,与之同化的心灵的愉快;

浅谈东乡族民间故事

在长期的生产和生活实践中,东乡族人民创作出了具有浓郁民族特色的民间文学作品,其中民间故事题材广泛、内容丰富。本文试从题材内容、艺术特色、故事中所蕴涵的民俗文化等方面对东乡族民间故事作简要分析。     

关于当前"民俗热"的冷思考

在当前全社会高度重视社会主义先进文化建设的形势下,民俗、民俗学和民俗文化也被作为先进文化建设不可或缺的一项重要内容,受到了党政领导、社会各界和广大民众的日益重视和关注,成为一个颇为热门的话题。但是不可讳言,当今许多地方的民俗热,存在相当的盲目性,个别的甚至存在着不太健康的倾向。上升到理性来认识,当前我国民俗、民俗学特别是民俗文化的现状怎么样?民俗在现实社     

Folklore of the Azores

The study of folklore, founded and developed by British scholars, has struggled to establish itself in the higher education sector in England. An exploration of the reasons behind this anomaly suggests that, far from being a lost cause, there are new opportunities to secure a permanent place for the discipline in the academy and in the public sphere.     

Folklore for a New Century

Folklore as a discipline had promising beginnings in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By the end of the twentieth century, however, the academic study had begun to fade in academies, and the substantive content had lost a great deal of public interest. Three books deal with the practice of folk studies and ask the question of where folklore might go in the twenty-first century. One looks at the theoretical history of the discipline, while the other two have an ethnographic bent and open up folk materials to embodied and reflexive analysis.     

民俗与身体——美国民俗学的身体研究

20世纪80年代以来,作为对灵肉二元论的反叛,身体成为西方人文社会各学科持久的热点之一。1989年美国民俗学年会上,民俗学家凯瑟琳·扬依照民俗(folklore)的构词法,创造性地提出"身体民俗"(bodylore)一词,着力于探讨有关身体的民俗或知识,特别是身体如何参与构建社会意义。本文主要追溯美国民俗学身体转向的社会与学术思潮背景,勾勒其基本理论视角与研究路径,并指出身体性、身体知识是民俗知识的根本属性之一。

从“民俗”到“语境中的民俗”——中国民俗学研究的范式转换

20世纪90年代中后期以来,中国民俗学学者开始从单纯的民俗事象研究,转向在语境中研究民俗,强调田野调查,强调在田野中观察民俗生活、民俗表演的情境、民俗表演的人际互动、民俗表演与社会生活、社会关系、文化传统之间的复杂关联等等,呈现出民族志式的整体研究取向,时空、人、社会、表演、变迁、日常生活等系列关键词,表明在语境中研究民俗的学者具有共同的问题、方法以及学术取向,初步具备学术范式的意义。     

Fish Otoliths and Folklore: A Survey

The folklore associated with fish otoliths is traced from classical times to the present day for the first time. Otolithomancy involved divination of maritime weather conditions by consulting the properties and morphology of the “stones.” In folk medicine, they were employed in the treatment of renal problems, malarial fever, nose bleeds, jaundice, pain, and swellings in the groin. They were also believed to act as aphrodisiacs. Modern applications include the treatment of urinary tract infections in Turkey, fever in Spain, and asthma and back pain in Brazil.     

A Study of the Folklore on the Coasts of Connacht,Ireland

During the first two-thirds of the twentieth century, it was commonplace among historians that the common people of medieval England had remained substantially pagan in their religious beliefs. Christianity, according to this view, was essentially the faith of the elite, with the populace embracing what was at best a dual allegiance to the new and old religions. This view has now disappeared, and the time seems right to take stock of medieval popular religion in England with a view to solving three problems: why did the concept of a pagan medieval populace develop, flourish for so long and then decline; what is the actual evidence for medieval popular belief; and what new perspectives can be taken on medieval English Christianity by employing comparisons with paganism?     

中国民俗学三十年的发展历程

重视民风民俗，是中国至少从周代就开创的一项文化传统，从《诗经》、汉魏乐府民歌、《史记·货殖列传》、《汉书·地理志》、《荆楚岁时记》以降一直沿袭下来。但是，作为一门现代学科，中国的民俗学从比较宽泛的意义来算大概只有90年的历史，从比较严格的意义来算，只能说是最近30年才成熟起来。在西学东渐的大潮中，一些学者得风气之先，借鉴西方的学术资源，引入搜集口头传统文学和调查风俗的方法，逐步在中国学界发展出关于民间文化的各个门类的学术事业。这种学术，先是多学科学者的“业余”爱好，然后才发展成专业的人才队伍；先是以非正式学科体制的方式运作，后来才有机会成为国家学科建制中的一个专业。
