YiFan一凡：《在馴鹿聚集的地方，吟唱》& 一凡訪談與「他者others」

在芬蘭，傳說極光會隨著音樂旋律而舞動，薩米人以吟唱安撫馴鹿；在澳大利亞，原住民通過歌之路讓大夢時代得以永恆；在斐濟，人們唱著傳統離歌Isa Lei道別……

「他者others」聯合創立人及執行主編吳一凡一直關注世界各地的原住民文化。在她看來，那些多種多樣的、和現代社會不同的價值觀雖然看似遙遠，卻依然為我們提供了更多相連的可能性和出路。為此，她踏上了自己的旅途。

在《在馴鹿聚集的地方，吟唱》里，一凡用文字與圖像記錄下探訪世界各地古老部族的旅程。拉普蘭的森林之子告訴她大自然的啓示，澳大利亞北領地的原住民則保守著祖先的秘密。冰島的「精靈」如今身在何處？南太平洋島嶼上的時間有另一種計量方式？印第安部落如何詮釋歷史又如何決定未來？當世界經歷一場大規模的停擺，人們如何接近彼此？當重新找回「在路上」的感覺，世界是否還是昨日模樣？

一凡帶著她的新書作客我的訪談，在書中她說：行至更遠方，與古老部族相遇，冰原·荒漠·大海·山林間.....有路與歌，在那裡，萬物相連。

本期內容： 和以往不同，除了閱讀作者的文字外，這次嘗試用作者的聲音來呈現她本人在旅途當中所遇所感以及書中文字內化的過程，敬請收聽「一凡訪談」。

In Finland, legend has it that the aurora dances to the rhythm of music, and the Sami people chant to soothe the reindeer; in Australia, the Aboriginal people use songlines to make the Dreamtime eternal; in Fiji, people sing the traditional farewell song Isa Lei to say goodbye...

Wu Yifan, co-founder and executive editor-in-chief of "Others"(Magazine） has always been concerned with the cultures of Indigenous peoples worldwide. In her view, those diverse values, different from modern society, may seem distant but still offer us more possibilities and connections. For this reason, she embarked on her journey.

In her book<Chant, the Reindeer Gather>, Yifan uses words and images to record her journey visiting ancient tribes worldwide. The children of the forests in Lapland told her the revelations of nature, while the Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory of Australia keep the secrets of their ancestors. Where are the "elves" in Iceland now? Is there another way to measure time on the islands of the South Pacific? How do Native American tribes interpret history and decide the future? As the world undergoes a large-scale shutdown, how do people get closer to each other? When the feeling of being "on the road" is rediscovered, is the world still the same as yesterday?

Yifan brought her new book to my interview. In the book, she says: "Traveling to distant places and encountering ancient tribes, across ice fields, deserts, oceans, and forests... there are roads and songs. There, everything is connected."

This issue: Unlike before, besides reading the author's words, this time we try to use the author's voice to present her encounters and feelings during the journey and the process of internalizing the words in the book. Please listen to "Yifan Interviews."

Note :
The program is based on a radio show I started in 2014 < BIG DREAMERS >, about transformative life stories. A decade later, as I continue to grow, I deeply believe in the power of the Holy Mother, the source of creation, and the LOVE of the universe. She is inspiration, healing, creation, inclusion, sharing, and liberation. I am willing to be her instrument, conducting interviews with individuals, I look forward to hearing more personal stories of transformation, growth, and wisdom.
