民间传说的文本与语境——一个文化变迁的个案分析

An Analysis of Version and Context of Folklores

通过田野调查材料和对白族民间流传很广的杜朝选斩蟒传说不同文本的比较,分析了这一民间传说的变迁与社会生活及民间文化心态的关系,认为民间传说这种文学体裁的审美注意点往往并不在于文本内部结构的合理性或谐调性,而更大程度上注重与外在语境的协调,即故事能够观照现实社会生活。

On the basis of field work,the author compares the different versions of the popular Folklores that Du Chao-xuan,a Bai man,killed a boa,then analyzes the connections among the change of the Folklores,social life and popular cultural psychology.Finally the author finds out that the aesthetic standard of Folklores is not the harmony of reasonability of the version's inside structure,but the harmony of the outside context.Therefore,the Folklore can reflect the real social life and meet the demand of folk aesthetic tradition.
