在中國各大城市的城市發展和舊城改造浪潮中，廣州的年輕人走了出來。他們走進社區，嘗試保護他們所珍視的文化和公民價值，反思另類的城市發展方式，推動著一股逆流。年輕人們透過互聯網及個人網路加入運動，並活躍在不同的群組裡，關注舊城改造和粤語傳承，思考著如何參與一個屬於自己的城市發展。但是，整個保育運動背後，除了是現代與傳統的衝突，也充滿著本土文化與外來文化的衝突，這種衝突深深地埋在廣州地域認同的建構過程裡，運動組織在參與文化保育運動時也要處理這個問題。本研究旨在探討廣州近年崛起的文化保育運動，關注當中不同的社會運動組織如何透過框架構造來建構運動的集體身份認同，並探討身份認同和框架在運動過程中如何演化。研究發現，框架構造是建構集體身份認同框架的重要過程，框架構造會塑造運動組織早期的集體身份認同；但是後期組織內的個人身份認同會促使運動後期的框架延伸，進而建構新的集體身份認同。 / In this wave of urbanization and renewal across major cities of China, Guangzhou young activists step in the old communities, try to preserve cultures and values remained in the communities, and re-think alternative modes of urbanization and modernization. They take part in the movement through the Internet and social network, and being active participants, they consider engaging in the community development. However, there are conflicts beyond cultural conservation, between modern and traditional values, and between territorial and other cultures. These conflicts are deeply embedded in the construction process of Guangzhou territory identity, and shall be tackled by movement activists. This research aims to investigate first the construction of collective identity of cultural conservation movement by framing, and second how the two processes change. The interplay of framing and collective identity is significant: framing helps shape the collective identity at the preliminary stage; personal identity suggests frame extension to construct new collective identity. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 施德安. / "2012年9月". / "2012 nian 9 yue". / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 84-88). / Abstract in Chinese and English. / Shi De'an. / Chapter 一、 --- 研究背景與問題 --- p.1 / Chapter 二、 --- 研究意義 --- p.4 / Chapter 三、 --- 文獻回顧 --- p.5 / Chapter 四、 --- 分析框架 --- p.19 / Chapter 五、 --- 研究方法 --- p.22 / Chapter 六、 --- 研究分析 --- p.25 / Chapter 七、 --- 結論 --- p.70 / Chapter 八、 --- 研究限制 --- p.77 / Chapter 九、 --- 附錄恩寧路街區 --- p.79 / Chapter 十、 --- 參考書目 --- p.84

Al laox, is a kind of polyphonic folk song which are sung and widely practiced by parts of Dong people in southern China. As an indispensable component of the non-literary peasant society of Dong ethnic culture, Al laox music tradition has been systematically passed down, with full participation and ritualized performance in Dong people's daily life. / As a case study of "local music tradition", this research will contribute to further research topics, such as the common characteristic of Dong traditional music, sociological meaning of polyphonic folk song and contemporary transformation of traditional music etc. / This dissertation aims to investigate the interaction between "Al laox music tradition and community identity of Dong People". Based on extensive fieldwork and textual analysis, this thesis discusses, on one hand, how Dong people construct their identity with Al laox music tradition, on the other hand, it examines what exactly the Al laox music tradition is and what it means to native people. Thus, this bidirectional concerns not only respond to the general ethnomusicological issue of "how culture shapes music", but also gives an interpretation of "how music function culture". / This dissertation has two methodological concerns: (1) a micro-ethnographical study of village social structure in relation to the Al laox music tradition, and (2) a survey of Al laox as a ritualized communal singing ritual. The former focuses on a typical Dong community as a locus to examine the operation of Gaolao music tradition, whereas the latter illustrates how Dong people construct distinct stratified identities through singing especially in three coorelative rituals. Specifically, this research takes Xiao Huang village in Congjiang county, Guizhou province and the relavant villages around as object and structures around three significant ritualized singing pattern, gabx gongx, xeegnl doul and weex yeek. / 楊曉. / Adviser: Tsao Poon Yee. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-08, Section: A, page: 2944. / Thesis (doctoral)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2008. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 392-418). / Electronic reproduction.
