边缘文本﹕以《川康民俗调查报告》为例

Marginal Text:On an Example of A Report on the Folklore Investigation in Western Sichuan

权威典范知识造成人们生存其间的社会现实﹐而社会现实如一稳定建筑物﹐人们安居其间难以突破此知识造成的思想牢笼。笔者指出,边缘文本可以作为突破此认知障碍的窗口。以写成于1929年﹐因被认为无学术价值而长期未能出版的一本《川康民俗调查报告》为例﹐说明什么是边缘文本﹐以及阐释它为何可作为反思性研究的重要切入点﹐让我们得以突破权威典范知识的束缚﹐对自己一向熟悉的知识体系与现实世界有崭新而深刻的认识。

Authoritative knowledge creates the social reality in which people live,and this social reality is like a stable building;people dwell within it,making it difficult to break free from the cognitive cage formed by this knowledge.This article points out that“marginal texts”can serve as a window to overcome this cognitive barrier.Taking the example of A Report on the Folklore Investigation in Western Sichuan,written in 1929 but not published for a long time because it is considered to be of no academic value,this article explains what a marginal text is and why it can be an important entry point for reflexive studies.And,how it allows us to break free from the constraints of authoritative paradigmatic knowledge and gain a new understanding of the real world and related knowledge that we thought we were familiar with.
