Living History:An Exploration into the Methodology of Art Anthropology
The concept of"living history"was initially introduced by anthropologist Bronisław Malinowski and later refined by Fei Xiaotong.With continuous utilization and application within the sphere of art anthropology in China,it has been further deepened as a key term.Human beings face not only natural resources but also cultural resources.To a certain extent,cultural resources may be understood as heritage resources because they are often presented in the form of heritage.They serve not only as the substratum for contemporary cultural development but also represent the catalyst for propelling economic progress in the modern era,including the cultural industry and tourism economy.Owing to the concept of heritage resources,history is no longer a static past but has become a resource library that is remembered,reconstituted,and constantly generates new interpretive systems.It is vibrant not only in the past but also in the present,and even portends the future.The concept of"living history"thus acquires fresh significance and interpretive relevance.
