摘要

新奥尔良的狂欢节是一个复杂的、充满活力的文化生产领域,它产生了丰富的物质文化。在小规模的反文化“新浪潮”中,自卡特里娜飓风以来激增的狂欢节“krewes”或俱乐部,这种物质文化通常是手工制作的。本文以丹尼尔·米勒(Daniel Miller)的物质文化辩证理论为框架,利用跨越几个狂欢节季节的民族志田野调查,揭示了新浪潮狂欢节的服装、投掷和花车的危险所在。我们认为,制作这些物品本身就是狂欢节:手工制作的东西塑造了人们对狂欢节的体验,产生了生动、难忘的互动和遭遇,这些互动和遭遇后来被封装为纪念品。在手工制作中,狂欢节制造者不仅认可了人们在活动中付出的努力,也认可了狂欢节的社会性和关联性。虽然米勒强调“事物的谦卑”,但这些事物都是响亮而华丽的。尽管如此,它们还是有助于说明文化是如何通过物质而展开的。

Carnival in New Orleans is a complex, vibrant field of cultural production that generates a wealth of material culture. In the small-scale, countercultural 'new wave' of carnival 'krewes' or clubs that have proliferated since Hurricane Katrina, that material culture is often handmade. Framed by Daniel Miller's dialectical theory of material culture and drawing on ethnographic fieldwork spanning several carnival seasons, this paper unpacks what is at stake in new-wave carnival's costumes, throws, and floats. We argue that making these objects makes carnival itself: the handmade things shape people's experiences of carnival, generating vivid, memorable interactions and encounters, which they later encapsulate as mementos. In their handmade-ness, carnival-makers not only recognize the effort that people put into the events, but also carnival's sociality and relationality. While Miller emphasizes 'the humility of things,' these things are loud and flamboyant. They nonetheless help illustrate how culture unfolds with and through stuff.
