从“语义”到“语用”:民间舞蹈研究方法的转换

Transformation from “Semantics” to “Pragmatics”:Research Methods of Folk Dance

舞蹈是以人体动作为主要表现手段的艺术形式,在民间舞蹈研究中以动作为核心展开不同层面的探讨已形成相应的研究方法。语言学转向带来认知结构的转变,对于语用的关注由哲学发生而影响到其他人文社科各学科。在新的理论范式下民间舞蹈研究需要从探寻动作意义转而关注意义产生的过程和语境,从对具体符号所指的聚焦转向对象征结构的阐释。民间舞蹈研究应回归到日常生活以才能真正触碰到民间舞蹈的质感,以此为基础文章提出整体观、过程论、阐释性的研究视角与方法。

Dance is an artistic form with human body movements as its main means of expression. In the study of folk dance , different levels of discussions with movements as the core have formed corresponding research methods. The shift in linguistics brings about a shift in cognitive structure, and the focus on pragmatics generated in the philosophical field and has influenced various disciplines of humanities and social sciences. Under the new theoretical paradigm , the study of folk dance needs to change from exploring the meaning of movements to paying attention to the process and context of meaning generation , from focusing on the specific symbol to interpreting the symbolic structure. Folk dance should be returned to daily life in order to truly touch itsessence. Based on this, the paper puts forward the holistic view , process theory and interpretative research perspectives and methods.
