摘要

仪式的有效性是一个重要的人类学问题。在这篇论文中，我对人类学家对这个问题的一些解释提出了质疑，并试图建立一个将仪式作为隐喻的原始理论。所提出的假设基于两个鼓舞人心的概念：埃内斯托·德·马蒂诺的“去历史化”思想是仪式的主要技术，布鲁斯·卡弗勒的“虚拟性”是其适当的动态维度。基于这些理论基础和直接的民族志经验，并将仪式视为一种实践而非象征，我建议将其视为一个特定的隐喻实践，它不能代表现实，但对现实有效。

Ritual as metaphor

The effectiveness of ritual is a major anthropological question. In this paper, I challenge some of the explanations anthropologists have provided to such a question and I attempt to formulate an original theorization of ritual as metaphor. The proposed hypothesis is grounded in two inspiring concepts: Ernesto De Martino's idea of “dehistorification” as the main technique of the ritual and Bruce Kapferer's “virtuality” as its proper dynamic dimension. Drawing on these theoretical foundations and a direct ethnographic experience and conceiving of ritual as a practice rather than as a symbol, I propose to regard it as a particular practice of metaphorization that is not representative of reality but effective on it.
