Traditional Guardianship and the Inheritance of the Dong Opera—Subject Narrative and Ethnic Identity in the Context of "Intangible Cultural Heritage-ization"
In the context of"Intangible Cultural Heritage"(ICH),traditional folk cultural performances on modern stages tend to focus more on the entertainment aspects of music,ritualistic performances,and aesthetic awareness,while the cultural space also presents a multifaceted display of ethnic culture and"other"cultures coexisting and showcasing together.The performance of Dong Opera,once removed from its"original"context in the"Intangible Cultural Heritage-ization",undergoes a change in the subjectivity of the folk performance culture.When the ethnic group no longer relies on Dong Opera troupes to form the supply of public products,the demand for Dong Opera consequently diminishes,and its function also shifts.Such ICH performances have numerous issues,including whether they can be recognized by the local community,whether they can be understood by"others,"and whether the economic income and ethnic status of the inheritors and non-inheriting opera masters are consistent.Placing the research subjects within the context of history,region,ethnicity,and ICH,and combining the theoretical perspectives of music anthropology,a multi-entity comparative study is conducted using a multi-point,dynamic strategy.By narrating the subjectivity of the cultural bearers and deeply describing the"immediacy"of the musical text,this article reflects on the ethnic identity and sense of belonging of the Dong Opera within the ICH context.The research finds that the inheritors of the Dong Opera are not only the carriers of the ethnic cultural memory,demonstrating a willingness to narrate subjectively and express ethnic identity,but also the main body for interpreting multiculturalism and the starting point for achieving multicultural recognition.
