摘要:

民俗学以往的研究对象和理论方法,在现代语境下有诸多局限。中国民俗学需要顺应时代发展洪流,对城市化、现代化、全球化发展带来的影响及其所导致的当代民俗新变,进行新的理论和方法建设,这是民俗学当下学科转型的迫切任务。科技时代和信息社会民众生活方式的巨变,呼唤现代民俗学的诞生。现代民俗学不是一个学科领域,而是针对现代性问题进行研究,进而推动学科的发展。对充满现代性的都市社会以及其中新生群体的研究是探索现代民俗学的可能路径之一。

Abstract:

The research targets and theoretical methods of traditional folkloristics are limited in the modern context. Conforming to the development of times, Chinese folkloristics needs to construct new theories and methods to deal with the influence of urbanization, modernization and globalization as well as the new changes of contemporary folklore. This is the urgent task for the transformation of folkloristics. The significant changes of people's lifestyle in the age of science, technology and information call for the birth of modern folkloristics, which may not understand itself as a discipline, but new research on modernity. Modern folkloristics shall study the urban society of modernity and the lifestyle of the new social groups in the city.

Key words: modern folkloristics, discipline transformation, city
