发现“民”的主体性与民间文学的人民性——中国民间文学发展70年

Discovering the Subjectivity of the People and the People-Oriented Folk Literature

'民间文学'既是一门现代学科,也是该学科的对象,二者共同构成一项国家事业。过去70年,民间文学作为国家事业是来自于新文化运动知识分子对于民间文学价值的现代发现,经过曲折的探索,通过民间文学发现'民''民间'的主体性,从而把民间文学纳入国家的公民教育和共同体认同的文化工程,使普通人能够在经验上确证'人民'的个体基础,使民间文学作品通过非遗的命名成为国家的公共文化,'民'和'民间文学'都成为积极概念,现代国家建设的诸多矛盾也由此得以化解。

'Folk Literature'is not only a modern discipline,but also the object of this discipline,the two of which constitute a national undertaking together.In the past 70 years,Folk Literature as a national undertaking grew from the modern discovery of the value of folk literature by the intellectuals of the New Culture Movement.By winding exploring,they discovered the subjectivity of the people and the folk-through-folk literature,and then integrating folk literature into the nation’s cultural project of civic education and community identity,which makes ordinary people empirically confirm the individual basis of people and makes folk literature works become the nation’s public culture by the naming of intangible cultural heritage,which makes the people and the folk literature both become positive concepts and many contradictions in the construction of modern country have been put in order.
