《水浒传》的宗教记忆:白莲教的叙述与想象

《水浒传》文本叙事中的宗教既不是正统的道教或佛教,也不是儒、释、道三教合一,其实质是民间宗教白莲教。小说叙述的时间、地点、称谓和标志等都暗示或表达了白莲教的宗教信仰和历史作为,表明《水浒传》叙述和体现了元末领导和组织红巾军起义的白莲教的宗教记忆。从而水浒好汉乃白莲教教徒的艺术镜像,梁山泊的旗帜"替天行道"即红巾军所崇尚的"大义",而水浒世界则是关于元末白莲教起义的叙述与想象。

十月革命爆发后,伴随着苏维埃政权首都以及文学中心城市转向莫斯科,莫斯科文本在20世纪20年代呈现出书写繁荣的景象,并开始被认为是超文本系统的一种。由于特殊的社会历史背景和作家个人经历的差异性,围绕莫斯科神话学场域中最重要的神话素"莫斯科——第三罗马"所形成的莫斯科文本在域外文学和本土文学的具体彰显也是各具风格。本文将以20世纪二三十年代的莫斯科文本为研究对象,探讨域外作家与本土作家如何通过宗教记忆与乌托邦理想构建城市本质。

Celebrating the Harvest and san yklk： Exploring Festival and Public Ritual as Collective Memory to Sustain Cultural Identity

This paper argues that ritual is not only restricted to religious activities, but can also be ethological, sociological, and ecological in nature. The artistic, stylistic, and functional characteristics of one particular festival of the Bamana in Mali to celebrate the harvest and new planting season will be analyzed. This festival primarily takes on the form of animal masquerades in which masks, puppets, drumming, singing, and dancing are blended into a ritualistic celebration of a certain cultural identity. The Bamana culture has lost religion as a marker, as Islam is now the dominant religion in Mali, but traditional social relationships and morals among the Bamana as a patriarchal society are concretized and objectified by their animal masquerades. Apart from being a seasonal festival, events from the past are commemorated; customary gender roles are defined; and some fundamental and complex social concepts are reinforced by a performance mode which relies on a collective memory and oral transmission.
