The Academic Tension of the Life Histories of the "Intangible Cultural Heritage" Inheritor Group:re-study based on the oral histories of several inheritors of Gan Opera
The life history provides a textual interpretation channel connecting history,society,and the individual for anthropological research and is an important tool for the study of inheritors of intangible cultural heritage(ICH).The group of inheritors of the Gan Opera ICH,as the constructors of the Gan Opera art discourse system,has established a vivid life archive for the Gan Opera art.Through in-depth interviews with the group of Gan Opera inheritors,the artistic lives of several representative inheritors are laid bare,exploring their historical composition,social maintenance,as well as personal creation and cultural experience.Furthermore,it examines the cultural value and social significance of the group's life history from the construction of their cultural identity.The study of group life history,from the perspective of group narratives,focuses on the inter-subjectivity and co-subjectivity within the group,highlighting the unique value of collective memory in group research.With an academic tension that integrates breadth and depth,it reveals the profound connection between the life significance of cultural groups and the deep context of social discourse,transcending the singularity and limitations of previous individual life history narratives.This approach provides a constant momentum into the protection and inheritance of the ICH inheritor group.
