具身视野下民俗活动的青少年身体实践

The Physical Practice of Folk Activities by Teenagers from an Embodied Perspective

摘要: 研究聚焦粤东潮汕地区民俗活动，探讨青少年在传统仪式中的身体实践对文化认同的塑造机制。通过参与式观察与深度访谈，分析了抬轿巡游、锣鼓班等具身实践。研究发现，青少年通过肌肉记忆，将身体转化为责任和身份认同的隐喻；仪式中的高强度身体互动在身体上留下痛感烙印，促使个体将物理疼痛转化为文化认同的具身凭证；锣鼓班的集体合作则强化了地方身份的表达。民俗活动通过“身体在场–感官沉浸–符号互动”的实践链条，促进了青少年文化认同的生成。

Abstract: The study focuses on folk practices in the Chaoshan region of Eastern Guangdong, exploring how adolescents’ bodily engagement in traditional rituals shapes cultural identity. Through participant observation and in-depth interviews, it analyzes embodied practices such as sedan-chair parades and gong-and-drum ensembles. The research finds that adolescents transform their bodies into metaphors for responsibility and identity through muscle memory; intense physical interactions during rituals leave sensory imprints of pain, prompting individuals to convert physical discomfort into embodied proof of cultural belonging; collective collaboration in gong-and-drum performances further strengthens expressions of local identity. Folk activities foster adolescent cultural identity formation through a chain of practice involving “bodily presence-sensory immersion-symbolic interaction”.
