摘要: 民间文学属于口头传统,广泛存在于生活实践之中。在田野调查中体验口头表演,获得第一手资料,有助于研究者准确把握民间文学的生存语境及生产过程,解决过于依赖历史文献带来的某些误读。田野调查有操作守则和伦理规范,所获得的资料用于学术研究具有合法性。田野调查与文献梳理对于民间文学来说是同等重要的研究方法。田野调查还是民间文学问题意识的源泉,也是解决问题的路径所在。当代民间文学出现了编创化、都市化、网络化等新走向,田野调查必须与时俱进,才能及时掌握新动向,有效解决新问题。

Abstract:

Folk literature belongs to the oral tradition and exists widely in the practice of life. Experiencing oral performances and obtaining first-hand information during fieldwork helps researchers to accurately grasp the context of folk literature and its production process, and to solve certain misinterpretations brought about by over-reliance on historical documents. There are codes of practice and ethical norms for fieldwork, and the information obtained is used for academic research with legitimacy. Field survey and literature combing are equally important research methods for folk literature. Field survey is also the source of folk literature problem awareness and the path to solving problems.
