    by 马盛德著 ...

  • 嘉绒跳锅庄:墨尔多神山下的舞蹈、仪式与族群表述

    by 李菲著 ...
    墨尔多神山脚下,大小金川蜿蜒流淌于嘉绒藏地。在这片古老的土地上,有甲居神秘的“玛尼”,梭坡、中路欢舞的“卓”和巴底、太平桥神圣庄严的“达勒嘎”……这些鲜活的地方性族群传统与世所熟知的汉语名词“跳锅庄”,不仅是民俗学“我称”与“他称”的区别,也不能被轻率地理解为“类比性总称”与“个别专名”的类属关系,它们之间的不同是根本性的,是一个名为“嘉绒”的共同体在神圣与世俗之间践行的一套族群文化表述模式:在以“歌”与“舞”为表征的身体实践系统中,可以联结起嘉绒的历史记忆与当下现实,分辨出“我”与“他”的异与同、远与近。对于嘉绒人来说,“跳锅庄”不是游客“凝视”下的文化展演品,而是关乎其如何理解、表达传统与自我,如何在社会进程的实践情境中调整认同,从过去走向未来的根本方式之一。 ...
