神话王国的探寻者——李子贤神话研究评述

The Explorer of the Kingdom of Myth——A Review of the Research on Li Zixian

李子贤先生在大量田野调查的基础上,建立起一套以活形态神话为中心的理论体系:活形态神话如果作为"主体",其他神话存在形态则是其"变体";活形态神话作为"活体",那它赖以生存的文化生态系统则是"母体"。这个体系为我们展示了神话的整体性、综合性与动态性。在李子贤先生的比较神话学研究中,他突破了文本阐释的固有研究范式,以及单一民族、单一学科理论的限制,将神话还原到文化生态系统中进行立体的审视,将云南的神话放到东亚、东南亚文化格局中进行更广阔的比较,将神话学与民族史、人类学、宗教学等学科对接进行综合研究。

On the basis of a large number of field investigations,Li Zixian established a set of theory system centered on the living mythology,living mythology is as the “subject”,other existing form of myth-ology is its “variation”;living mythology is as the “living”,the cultural eco-system that it depends on is the“parent body”,the system to demonstrate the mythology of the overall,comprehensive and dynamic for us. In the research of the concrete mythology of Mr.Li Zixian,he breaks through the inherent research para-digm of text interpretation,as well as the limitation of the single ethnic group and the single discipline the-ory,the mythology is restored to the cultural eco-system to carry out a three-dimensional survey to put the mythology of Yunnan into east Asia,southeast Asia culture pattern for broader comparisons,the subjects of mythology and national history,anthropology,religion and other disciplines are carried out to make a comprehensive study.
