摘要 本文对五旬节仪式生活进行了分析,重点关注该宗教的核心张力,即与圣灵浇灌在所有信徒身上相关的平等主义与教会领袖的超凡魅力权威所带来的等级制度之间的张力。作者利用赞比亚铜带省的民族志材料,追溯了五旬节仪式的平等和等级方面,以证明这两个要素对五旬节信仰所产生的社会关系的重要性。虽然平等主义和等级制度之间的紧张关系在所有五旬节派团体中都很明显,但在铜带上,它们的相互作用产生了建立在现有文化模式基础上的社会成果,并且鉴于赞比亚最近的经济历史具有特殊意义。这些局部共鸣反过来又使我们能够解决不连续性,这是五旬节派分析的中心主题,以及创造力在仪式实践中的作用。
Abstract This article offers an analysis of Pentecostal ritual life focused on a core tension in this religion, namely that between the egalitarianism associated with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on all believers and the hierarchy that follows from the charismatic authority of church leaders. Drawing on ethnographic material from the Zambian Copperbelt, the author traces out the egalitarian and hierarchical aspects of Pentecostal ritual in order to demonstrate the importance of both of these elements to the social relationships that Pentecostal adherence produces. While the tension between egalitarianism and hierarchy is evident in all Pentecostal groups, on the Copperbelt their interaction produces social results which build on extant cultural models, and which have particular significance in the light of Zambia's recent economic history. These local resonances in turn allow us to address discontinuity, a central topic in analyses of Pentecostalism, as well as the role of creativity in ritual practice.
