讲故事的民俗学:非常事件的正常解析

Storytelling Folklore: Rational Analyses of Extraordinary Events

  • 摘要: 民俗生活中一些隐含的规律,往往只在某些特定条件下才会有所显现,才会暴露出问题,表现为事件。事件民俗学倡导通过具体事件进入民俗研究。民俗事件是日常生活中的非常案例,是平衡被打破之后的非常态关系,是主体间反复博弈的结果。关注生活中的民俗事件,留心异常现象,是发现问题、寻求学术突破的重要策略。一个合格的民俗学者,除了敏锐的问题意识外,还须具备两项特殊的民俗学技能:一是人情练达的民俗感悟力,二是学术侦探般的勘案能力。学术研究就是一个不断捕捉事件、提出问题、解决问题的过程。理论上说,所有的异常现象(偶然性)都可以找到它的正常解析(必然性)。民俗学不只是社会学,更应该是文学和历史学。以讲故事的方式解析民俗事件,是源自学科创始之初的学术传统,更是一种学术境界。

     

    Abstract: Only under certain specific conditions will some hidden laws of folklife become apparent, and then problems will be exposed and displayed in events. The folklore of events advocates a kind of folklore study based on specific events. A folk event is an extraordinary case in daily life, which is the result of gaming between individuals and appears to be a kind of extraordinary relationship when the balance between individuals is broken. Paying attention to folk events and extraordinary phenomena in daily life is an important method to find questions and seek academic breakthroughs. Apart from having a strong capability of discerning problems, a qualified folklorist needs to be equipped with two special folkloristic skills, including the ability to sense folklore and the ability to investigate a case like a detective. The process of academic study is a continuous circulation of capturing events, posing questions and solving problems. Theoretically, any extraordinary event (occasionality) can find its way to a rational analysis (inevitability). Folklore should not remain within the field of sociology. It should also play the parts of literature and history by adopting the storytelling method to analyze folk events. Storytelling is an academic tradition since folklore was founded as a discipline as well as a high academic state.
