人类学视域下武术概念的重新审视

The Concept of Wushu Revisited from the Anthropological perspective

以人类学为视角,对不同时期武术概念进行资料梳理与学理分析,并在此基础上提出了人类学意蕴中武术概念的解释性理解。研究认为:对于武术概念的解读需跨越体育技术以及文化的特定领域范畴,应视其作为一种人类身体的活动现象进行更加普遍意义的人类行为审视;武术不仅仅只是一项"体育"运动,或者说是一项身体"唯美技术",更应理解为不同地域人们的一种思维方式和身体行为;从人类学身体文化领域所关注的"身体结构""身体意象"和"身体符号"三个维度对武术特有的"身体技术""身体艺术""身体文化"属性进行分析与论述,以期探讨和诠释武术概念的涵义。

From the perspective of anthropology, this paper examines and analyzes the concept of Wushu in different periods, and on this basis puts forward an anthropological interpretation of the concept of Wushu. The research shows that： Wushu should not be understood merely as a concept in the field of sports technology or culture, it should be regarded as an activity of human body, and a universal behavior of human being ; Wushu should not be understood as a ＂sports game＂, or an ＂aesthetic technique＂ on body, but as a way of thinking or pattern of behavior specific to people in certain regions; the analysis and discussion of Wushu properties from the 3 dimensions of ＂body technique＂ , ＂body art＂ and ＂ body culture＂ in the field of anthropology will contribute to the understanding of the concept of Wushu.
