How to Strengthen the Connection:The Actor Network Construction of Sports Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection—Ethnography of Songjiang Battle Ritual in L Village,Southern Fujian
Inspired by the actor network theory,taking the protection case of Songjiang battle ritual in L village as the starting point,an ethnographic study was conducted on the good operation situation of the protection of sports intangible cultural heritage projects with almost no cultural holders.The study found that:Around the common goal of"protection of Songjiang battle ritual in L vil-lage",the core actor LLS limits the role of other actors through interest-related methods such as organization preparation and cooper-ation consensus,and implements alliance integration strategies such as connection,policy convenience and platform construction to promote actors to participate,negotiate and play the role of Songjiang battle ritual protection action,and construct the protection network alliance of Songjiang battle ritual in L village.And adopt objection solutions such as restructuring interest goals,group re-placement and substitution,compromise and concession to maintain the integrity and continuous operation of the network.The study holds that with the gradual and prominent development of multiple actors such as"the key guidance of returning elites""the role sub-stitution of villagers in L village""the casting and generation of cultural space of Songjiang battle ritual",the extension and transfor-mation of the relationship network of"single edge-multi edge"and"human-non-human"actors outlined and shown are no longer lim-ited to the traditional"people-centered"social network connection mode,but to ensure that the protection action of Songjiang battle ritual can still be promoted in an orderly manner with the material strength in the case of the near collective absence of villagers in L village.Therefore,giving more actors the core role positioning,strengthening the stakeholders of general actors,linking and promo-ting the multi-relationship network,or providing temporary alternatives for the protection of other sports intangible cultural heritage projects.
