中国仪式艺术研究综述

中国仪式艺术的研究深受西方人类学艺术研究的影响,但发展进程相对滞缓,基本与中国人类学界的艺术研究同步。其研究发展历程大致可分为两个阶段:20世纪80年代前为仪式艺术研究的发端阶段,成果多见于调查报告中;20世纪80年代至今,大量的西方人类学理论被介绍到国内,仪式艺术的研究方法、对象和路径都向多元化发展,著述颇丰。

A Summary of the Studies of Chinese Ritual Art

The studies of Chinese ritual art have been under the great influence of art studies of Western anthropology but made a slow progress that almost matches the art studies by Chinese anthropologists. This research falls roughly into two stages as follows: 1. the initial stage before the 1980s when most research findings are investigation reports; 2. the development stage since the 1980s when numerous Western theories of anthropology and diversified research methods, objects and approaches concerning ritual art have been introduced with many praiseworthy publications.
