韩国民俗学的研究倾向与问题探析——以丧葬民俗的变迁为例

Research Tendency and Problems of Korean Folklore:Taking the Changes of Funeral Folk Customs as an Example

韩国民俗学界研究方法争论的核心焦点可以分为"过去学""现在学""从属学科""独立学科",韩国学者们通过在民俗的根源性问题、原型论、都市民俗学以及国家政策等方面不断扩大对现有研究的批判。但是迄今为止对民俗学的研究方法和对象分歧较大,学术上一直未达成共识。针对这一问题,在对韩国民俗学界研究倾向分析的基础上,以韩国丧葬民俗的变迁与问题为研究对象,提出了韩国民俗的研究应以文献考察和实地调查为基础,以多学科交叉为主要研究方法的思路,民俗学者应紧跟时代步伐,顺应城乡变化趋势,对民俗文化进行全方位多维度的研究,使其更好地服务和引领人类社会的良性发展。

The core focus of the research methodology debate in Korean folklore academia can be divided into "past studies","present studies","subordinate disciplines"and "independent disciplines".Korean scholars have continuously expanded their criticism of existing research through the root of folklore,prototype theory,urban folklore and national policy.But up to now,there are great differences in the research methods and objects of folklore,and there has been no consensus in academia.In view of this problem,on the basis of the analysis of the researchtendency of Korean folklore academia,and taking the changes and problems of Korean funeral folklore as the research object,this paper puts forward that the research of Korean folklore should be based on literature review and field investigation,and take the interdisciplinary research as the main research method.Folklore scholars should keep pace with the times,conform to the changing trend of urban and rural areas,and carry out a comprehensive study of Korean folklore culture.The research of multi-dimensional orientation will make it better serve and lead the benign development of human society.
