澳洲原住民“梦幻”世界观认知模式下的名字禁忌解读

Cognitive Understanding of the Name Taboo in Australian Indigenous "Dreaming" Worldview

  • 摘要: 由神秘而独特的澳大利亚原住民的“梦幻”世界观所衍生的名字禁忌古老而复杂。触犯禁忌常常造成交流与沟通的失败。本文以西方主流媒体对澳洲原住民著名歌手——尤荼-印迪乐队的主唱Yunupingu——的离世时的报道文本为切入点,指出媒体在传播基本事实的同时,还要了解并尊重澳洲原住民特有的“梦幻”世界观认知模式,向受众明示原住民的图腾崇拜与名字禁忌的相关性,实现传媒文本的交际功能。文章以澳大利亚原住民“梦幻”世界观为认知路径来解读澳洲原住民的文化现象,能发挥认知模式所固有的知识结构及蕴含的价值体系,能超越人们通常对高陌生度文化的“原始、迷信、古怪”的表层分析,使人们能在深层思维上解析异域民族文化行为的精神意义。

     

    Abstract: The mysterious and unique Australian Aboriginal "Dreaming" worldview embraces the ancient and complicated name taboo of the deceased people. Violating the taboo often causes miscommunication. By referring to the reports on the death of the Yothu Yindi lead singer Yunupingu, this paper expounds that while is it important to stick to the physical facts about the reported Indigenous singer, it is more important for the media to respect the Indigenous people's culture by abiding by their Dreamtime worldview and reveal to the public the relationship between their name taboo inherent in their totemic worship, so as to achieve the purpose of mass communication. This paper thus proposes the approach to understanding Australian Indigenous Dreamtime worldviews as their cognitive models. This cognitive approach exceeds the conventional interpretation of unfamiliar culture phenomena as so-called "primitive, superstitious, or weird", by exploring into their folk knowledge structure for their value systems, so as to understand the spiritual richness of the Australian Indigenous culture and behavior.
