《中国节日影像志》:实践困境与反思起点

Chinese Festival Images:Practical Predicament and Reflection Starting Point

近年来,在中国影视人类学实践与理论场域中,《中国节日影像志》已成为一个重要的研究议题。其创作成果的大量涌现和部分优秀作品的频频获奖正在打破沉寂而边缘的学科境遇。但热度的背面,却是精品、极品仍然稀缺,深度的理论反思阙如。如何对已产出的70余部作品进行全面评估和认真反思,及时总结和提炼出超越一般非遗影像生产规范和超越《中国节日影像志》一般体例要求的理论观点,就成为一项亟待展开的学术工作。回溯其相关研究文献,多数学者在高度肯定其产出成果的同时,鲜有根本性的识见,从而导致学术反思难以对其实践困境以彻底“解救”。故而,文章追溯至反思的逻辑起点处,指出必须从节日本身的规定性出发,从节日内含的文化结构和社会张力出发去进行理论观照,才有可能获得对创作实践以真正推动的理论创新。

In recent years,the the field of practice and theory of Chinese visual anthropology,the"Chinese Festival Images"has become an important research topic.The emergence of a large number of creative achievements and the frequent award winning of some excellent works are breaking the silent and marginal situation of discipline.However,on the back of the heat,there is still a lack of high quality and top quality products,and there is no deep theoretical reflection.It has become an urgent academic work to comprehensively evaluate and reflect on more than 70 works that have been produced,and to timely summarize and extract theoretical viewpoints that exceed the production standards of general non photographic images and the requirements of general style of the Chinese Festival Images.Records Reviewing relevant research literature,we find that while most scholars highly affirm their achievements,they have few fundamental insights,which makes it difficult for academic reflection to completely"rescue"their practical difficulties.Therefore,the article traces back to the logical starting point of reflection,and points out that it is necessary to proceed from the stipulations of the festival itself,to carry out theoretical observations from the cultural structure and social tension contained in the festival,in order to obtain theoretical innovation that can truly promote creative practice.
