口传—仪式叙事中的民间历史记忆——以广西和里三王宫庙会为个案

Oral Transmission-A historical Folk Memory in Ritual Narration——Taking as a Case the Temple Fair of San Wang Palace of Heli,Guangxi

宗教信仰也常常在口传活动中得到表达,有时则以无声的语言——仪式行为的方式展开。然而,更为普遍的情形则是无声的语言与有声的口传同时并存。换句话来说,对宗教信仰的观照离不开口头传述与信仰实践两方面的双重分析。本文拟将着重探讨口传一仪式叙事的过程中三王父子的英雄形象与其事迹是如何被侗族民众集体想象与建构的,借此追溯社会成员共同分享的、回忆的集体记忆。

Religious belief is sometimes transmitted through oral activities. Sometime it is also carried out silently through ritual actions. However, the more common occasion is the coexistence of the both forms. In other words, the observance of religious belief is indispensable from the analysis of both oral transmission and the practice of belief. This paper pays special attention to the exploration of the mass imagination and construction of oral-ritual narration of the heroic images and deeds of the father and son in Dong nationality so as to trace the shared collective memory of social members.
