非遗传承人口述史研究:现状、热点与趋势OA

Oral history of intangible cultural heritage(ICH)bearers has become a widely endorsed innovation for safeguarding and transmitting living heritage.Based on 384 peer-reviewed articles retrieved from CNKI,this study employs CiteSpace to map the knowledge domain of ICH-bearer oral-history research in China.The findings reveal four salient patterns.First,the literature exhibits a rapid yet steady growth trajectory form,progressing through an incipient phase,a formative phase,and an accelerated phase.Second,Zhang Jie(form Feng Jicai Institute of Literature and Art,Tianjin University)is the most prolific author,and Tianjin University is the dominant institutional contributor;however,inter-author and inter-institutional collaboration remains limited.Third,research themes converge on theoretical and methodological issues,fieldwork practices,and mechanisms of preservation and transmission.Fourth,key hotspots—ICH,cultural memory,transmission,ICH bearers,ethnic traditional sports,and Xiangxi bamboo weaving—indicate a paradigmatic shift from memory construction to safeguarding and transmission,with a pronounced emphasis on case studies in ethnic regions.Future inquiries should consolidate interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks,integrate digital humanities and multimodal technologies,conduct systematic comparative studies across regions and ethnic groups,and develop a community-engaged,open-access oral-history database.While this study offers a macroscopic overview,micro-level investigations warrant further refinement.
