Transpostion of Bodyhood:the Idolatrous Procession and Rural Basketball Game in Shishi
This paper focuses on the relationship between rural basketball game and folk beliefs in Shishi City,Fu-jian Province,and discusses the internal logic and historical process of the interaction and integration of the two.Two transformations are noteworthy.Basketball was introduced to China in the early 20th century,initially con-veying a modern understanding of the body,and later becoming a way to shape the citizens'bodies of a new na-tion under the influence of nationalism.Since the 80s,it has been increasingly absorbed by traditional folk beliefs and ceremonies,and has become a common part of the idolatrous procession.This complex historical process not only reflects the conflict and mutual transformation between locality and modernity,but also shows the endoge-nous power of folk beliefs to absorb and integrate other cultural forms.
