非物质文化遗产研究的文化人类学转向——以苏州评弹为例

CULTURAL ANTHOLOGICAL TRANSITION OF THE STUDY OF INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE——A case study of Suzhou Pingtan

我国传统的非物质文化遗产研究,基本沿袭资料汇编、文学研究和技艺考察等几个思路进行,至20世纪后半期,越来越多的学者开始有意识地引入文化人类学的视角和方法,使非物质文化遗产研究更趋多元化、综合化。这一重要转向,使非物质文化遗产的学术价值同其现实意义更加紧密地结合起来,从而挖掘了它们在当下的社会价值。

Traditional study of intangible cultural heritages falls into the categories of literature collecting,literary study and performing skills study. Till the latter half of the 20th century,more and more scholars began to consciously introduce perspectives and methods of cultural anthropology,which has diversified and synthesized the study of intangible cultural heritages. This important shift makes the academic value of the intangible cultural heritages more closely integrated with its practical significance so that their current social value can be discovered.
