Communicating wisdom: An arts and humanities-based study of fishing in youth work.

长期以来，钓鱼或垂钓一直被许多人认为是一种不止是捕鱼的活动。早在1653年，伊扎克·沃尔顿就出版了《完美的钓鱼者》，也就是沉思的人的娱乐。从那时起，钓鱼与反思、沉思、觉察一直携手并进。从象征性的角度来看，钓鱼结合了与狩猎有关的有目的的活动的元素，以及与被动行为更相关的等待和耐心等态度。钓鱼是一项既需要积极也需要被动的活动。活跃性意味着有成功和失败的因素；被动意味着当我们进行日常活动时，有一种因素可能会出现另一种时间体验，而不是我们通常拥有的时间体验。许多人都承认，捕鱼是青年工作中的一个有用的“工具”。在这个项目中，我们旨在调查青少年工作中的钓鱼实践是如何作为一个安全的空间发挥作用的，在这个空间里，人们可以交流智慧，反思他们的态度、感受和想法，并重新发现代理感和创造力，甚至自我价值。我们将通过采用一系列方法来做到这一点：我们将调查捕鱼在文化史上的象征意义；我们将制定适合于我们快速变化的社会的智慧概念，在这个社会，代际学习和沟通往往存在问题；我们将以多媒体平台的形式重写Compleat Angler，供任何对捕鱼更具精神层面感兴趣的人使用；我们将与渔业社区一起开展民族志研究，以更好地了解人们在这一领域经历的意义。

Fishing, or angling, has for a long time been recognised by many people as an activity in which more than fish is caught. Already in 1653, Izaac Walton published 'The Compleat Angler, or the Contemplative Man's Recreation. Since then, fishing and reflection, contemplation, awareness have gone hand in hand. From a symbolic perspective, fishing combines an element of purposeful activity related to hunting, with attitudes such as waiting and patience, which are more related to passive comportment. Fishing is an activity that requires as much activity as passivity. Activity means that there is an element of success and failure; passivity means that there is an element in which another experience of time can emerge than the one we usually have, when we go about our daily activities. It has been acknowledged by many that fishing is a useful 'tool' in youth work. In this project we aim to investigate how fishing practices in youthwork, usually involving young people and older people, functions as a safe space in which people can communicate wisdom, can reflect on their attitudes, feelings and thoughts and can rediscover a sense of agency and creativity and even self-worth. We will do this by employing a range of methods: we will investigate the symbolic meaning of fishing in cultural history; we will develop a concept of wisdom that is suitable for our fast-changing society in which intergenerational learning and communication is often problematical; we will rewrite the Compleat Angler, in the form of a multi-medial platform, for use by anyone who is interested in the more spiritual dimensions of fishing and we will carry out ethnographic research together with fishing communities, to gain a better understanding of the significance of people's experiences in this area.
