学术动态 | 音乐学系博士研究生张孜乐参加英国民族音乐学论坛（BFE）2026年年会

本届年会以“民族音乐学与当下”（Ethnomusicology andThePresent）为主题，在全球多重危机与技术剧变的语境中，重新思考学科的现实关怀与方法论转向。其中“当下”具有两层含义，一是作为“多重时间性”（Multiple Temporalities）的场域。“当下”实则超越了过去与未来之间的线性连接，呈现为一个由战争的紧迫性、气候变化的缓慢性、数字媒介的即时性以及传统文化的延续性等多种时间维度交叠而成的复杂状态。在如此多重时间结构中，音乐既承载经验，也影响着人们对时间的感知方式。二是作为“在场与缺席”（Presence/Absence）的博弈。在权力结构与媒介技术不断重塑边界的今天，以往强调共时共地的田野传统面临挑战。谁的声音被显现，谁的存在被抹除，成为了亟待回应的政治与伦理命题。因此，在技术与危机交织的当下，民族音乐学有必要重新调整方法与定位，思考应以何种方式、与谁共同在场，以理解并参与当代世界的生成。

Abstract: This research examines how Lahu Xi communities in Yunnan province, China, construct their ritual temporality through the embodied sonic co-presence of O Li, the core ritual of worship to their deity “Esha”. For the Lahu Xi O Li is not simply a religious act but a temporal practice that generates an ever-renewing present linking cosmology, community, and future continuity. O Li is enacted through bodily movement, vocal and instrumental sound, and collective performance; when it is interrupted or cannot be performed, the continuity of Lahu Xi social cohesion and cosmological order becomes precarious.

The two major cross-border exoduses undertaken by the Lahu Xi between the 1960s and 1980s provide an essential historical backdrop to my two-year fieldwork in Longzhupeng village, Yunnan, where the community’s present is articulated through the contemporary practice of O Li. Rather than interpreting these earlier migrations solely as responses to material deprivation or state pressure, as framed by James C. Scott’s “Zomia”, I situate them in relation to the threatened impossibility of performing O Li. Focusing on the interdependence of body and sound within the ritual, I demonstrate that bodily and sonic acts transmit memory, forge belonging, and articulate a cosmology that interweaves humans, environment, and the sacred. The Lahu Xi case highlights how musical-ritual practices shape possibilities of presence, belonging, and being-together in a time marked by political restriction, displacement, technological mediation, and environmental crisis.

在互动环节，开放大学（The Open University）、维也纳音乐与表演艺术大学（University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna）以及伦敦大学皇家霍洛威学院（Royal Holloway, University of London）的学者，就跨地域仪式比较、宗教影响及舞谱表征逻辑等问题与张孜乐展开讨论。
