论文化生态视野下“梅葛”的保护与传承

摘要

彝族史诗《梅葛》千百年来以口头形式流传于彝族民间，凝结了民众的智慧、维系着族群的认同，这一属于人类共同财富的文化传统现在处于衰退、失传的危境中，而《梅葛》与其所处的文化生态系统关系密切，本文尝试运用文化生态学的相关理论来论述《梅葛》近年来保护与传承的现状，并从文化生态学的角度针对在传承与保护过程中存在的问题，提出切实可行的对策，通过对史诗《梅葛》个案的分析，以期为彝族史诗甚至是口传史诗的保护和传承提供参考。%For millennia the Yi epic Gemei has been orally transmitted, highlighting the wisdom of the Yi peo-ple and embodying their solidarity.This great cultural heritage is, unfortunately, on the verge of oblivion and ex-tinction.Departing from the close relation of Gemei with its cultural ecology system, this paper attempts to present the current situation of this epic in terms of its protection, inheritance and other related issues on the basis of the theory of cultural ecology.Based on the aforesaid analysis, the author proceeds to suggest feasible solutions, both specific to the case of Gemei and applicable to other epics of the Yi and even all orally-transmitted epics in gen-eral.
