民间故事“口头性”引起的再思考——从民间故事的存在方式与特征谈起

Reflecting on the Folk Tale's Oral Characteristic Again

本文认为在民间故事的研究、开发与保护中存在着受民间故事“口头性”特征制约而不能有效开展的问题 ,然而民间故事在现代却是以口头语言、印刷品、影视文学、旅游文学等多元化形式存在的。顺应其存在形式的变化 ,我们不应仅限于对其“口头性”特征进行研究 ,并因此而限定了开发对象、保护手段 ,应调整自己的研究视角与方法 ,反思对民间故事“口头性”特征的研究 ,在不改变民间故事本质的前提下 ,更有效、更合理地开发与保护它。也只有结合其现代的流传特征进行研究和利用 ,才能真正有效地保护民间故事 ,发挥民间故事的优势 ,传播民族的优秀文化。
