土家族原生态舞蹈的狂欢意味

The Carnival Connotations of Protoecological Tujia Dances

狂欢化理论是20世纪人类思想史上最重要的精神文化现象之一。土家族原生态舞蹈是土家民俗仪式、文化心理的一种艺术表现形式,是土家生产生活方式的集中反映,蕴含了丰富的土家民俗文化意识,具有鲜明的土家民俗特征和独特的人文个性。运用巴赫金的狂欢理论解读土家族原生态舞蹈,认为土家族原生态舞蹈十分典型地演绎了巴赫金狂欢化理论的"全民性、仪式性、距离感消失、插科打诨"众多特点,是土家族诗性文化心理的负载,是狂欢化生命力量的释放,充分张扬了土家族的自由精神,彰显了土家成员的个体生命意识,蕴涵着浓郁的狂欢意味。

The carnival theory is one of the most important spiritual and cultural phenomena in the 20th century human history of thinking. The protoecological Tujia dances are an artistic expression of Tujia folk rituals and cultural mentality, reflecting the production and life style of Tujia people, containing rich Tujia folk and cultural awareness with distinct features of Tujia folk and unique human charateristics. Reading the protoeeologieal Tujia dances by M. M. Bakhtin＇s carnival theory, this essay holds that the protoeeological Tujia dances typically demonstrate the charateristics of the entire people, rituals, the absence of distance and buffooneries in M. M. Bakhtin＇s carnival theory. This kind of dances are the carrier of poetic cultural mentality of Tujia people and the release of the carnivalized life force, fully displaying Tujia free spirit, manifesting the individual life consciousness of Tujia membership and containing profound carnival connotations.
