《难产的社头》是一部基于深厚实地调研的人类学民族志影片。作者吴乔副研究员在云南元江河谷花腰傣地区进行了超过一年半的田野工作,学会了花腰傣语言,记录了整个社区的谱系,用参与观察和深入访谈的方式获取第一手素材,对这个族群的文化有了系统而深入的把握。影片以一个情节完整的故事为线索,从一个少数民族社区的日常生活折射出城镇化、现代化、经济市场化之下农村社会的深刻变化。
Each Floral-belt Dai village has a male “Commune-head” who take charge of annual collective ceremonies as “Village Sacrifice” and “Vill age Exorcism”. These are purification rituals and fete for the village’s god “Buzhaoshe”. Besides, there’s a “Village’s Chief Witch” who’s responsible for communication with the god through trance. This man and woman compose the traditional hierarchy of a Dai village. The Commune-head is picked out through a God election ritual. Every adult man of the village offers a clothes and a bowl of rice to the ritual. A presider weighs all candidates’ clothes with a steelyard. With rice putting in or out the clothes, he makes all clothes balanced. Then he prays to the god Buzhaoshe, and weighs the clothes again. This time some clothes turn heavier. The heaviest one enables its owner to be the new Commune-head. This is an old custom of the Dai people which lasts thousands years. But this year we witnessed an unprecedented challenge in the Areca Village. Through the ritual of several days, all chosen ones refused to become Commune-head desperately. The ritual could not be fulfilled in a panic. Villagers disputed over the situation. Powers conflict in this gambling. In the following days, villagers provided four solutions. Among which emerges the tension between tradition and new culture, folk belief and government agents. Days later, Areca Village held a full member gathering, in which villagers made their decision through “voice voting”. Two months later, in the Reelecting of the Village Committee, the old mayor of the village was voted out. A year later, the new mayor made nice to conciliate the tradition power. New balance was established over odds. This becomes the epilogue of this documentary.

这部电影在第一遍看的时候是作为课前任务的,当时就觉得非常精彩;第二遍是为了找一些可以提问的问题;第三遍是和同学们一起看的。吴乔老师的学术功底非常好,使得影片非常连贯精彩。更加难得的是他本人心思细腻,颇重感情,对于田野中的访谈对象,他总是想他们之所想,忧他们之所忧。听吴乔上课,也是一种绝佳的体验,因为他自己本身就是杂家,擅长从各个学科的具体知识那里寻找研究的方法(这也是理论和方法一体两面的另一个佐证... 这部电影在第一遍看的时候是作为课前任务的,当时就觉得非常精彩;第二遍是为了找一些可以提问的问题;第三遍是和同学们一起看的。吴乔老师的学术功底非常好,使得影片非常连贯精彩。更加难得的是他本人心思细腻,颇重感情,对于田野中的访谈对象,他总是想他们之所想,忧他们之所忧。听吴乔上课,也是一种绝佳的体验,因为他自己本身就是杂家,擅长从各个学科的具体知识那里寻找研究的方法(这也是理论和方法一体两面的另一个佐证吧),虽然经常不免一些知识性的错误,但无伤大雅 (展开)
