民国时期外国民俗学理论译介与现代民俗学构建

Translation of Foreign Folklore Theories and the Construction of Modern Folklore during the Period of Republic of China

现代民俗学理论构建强调两点:一是谋求其在民族革命、社会改良、教育等领域中参与国家建设的话语权,二是寻求民俗学作为现代学术的独立地位,译介外国民俗学理论为其实现的助力之一。1927年民俗学会成立后,外国民俗学理论译介由个人发展到团体制订译介计划,译介对象主要是以英国为主的欧西的民俗学理论,对各国民俗学理论的接受和评价表现出一定的学术考量和国家意识。

The construction of Chinese modem folklore theory focuses on two points： one is to seek discourse right in the construction of modem countries in the fields of national revolution, social reform, education and so on; the other one is to seek the independent position as the modem academy. To attain these goals, translating foreign theories of folklore was initiated. Since 1927, when the folklore society was founded, the translation of foreign folklore theories by individuals had developed to by groups and the main object of which is UK based West-European folklore theories. The acceptance and evaluation of the folklore theories from every country shows some academic considerations and national consciousness.
