摘要
现代社会中,青年群体普遍遭遇自我迷失与生存性焦虑的精神危机,经常出现身体在场但精神断联的状况。近些年,青年群体通过荒野徒步户外旅游活动进行本真自我实践,逐渐找到上述问题的应对之道。文章以河西走廊止语徒步活动为例,对18位参与者进行深度访谈,探索活动参与者在荒野徒步中的本真自我实践过程,并剖析了其中的关键性条件与内在性机理。研究表明:(1)河西走廊止语徒步活动参与者成功完成了存在主义本真自我实践,这种本真自我具有多维结构,以包括身体本能与自我认知的内在本真自我为基础,在与自然、历史、他者紧密联结中又塑造出自然本真性、时间本真性、人际本真性组成的关系本真自我;(2)参与者的本真自我实践经历了陷入自我怀疑、学会自我掌控、促进自我反思和建立联结能力4个阶段,是一个“向内看见自己、向外联结世界”的过程;(3)身心挑战的荒野自然环境与功能断联的强行设置(断网与禁言)在其中起到了关键性作用,真正为参与者创造了一个能够回归身心的行走环境,呈现出功能断联与精神联结的辩证关系。文章揭示了荒野徒步这类户外旅游与严肃休闲活动在当代青年应对精神危机中的重要作用及过程机制,同时也扩展了现有研究对旅游世界与日常生活关系的理解。
In modern society,individuals are endowed with a high degree of autonomy.However,this also causes all kinds of stable connections in social life to gradually loosen or even break,with the result that people today suffer from a structural spiritual crisis,frequently feeling a sense of meaninglessness with respect to their existence and a sense of powerlessness over their self-control.To cope with these difficulties,young people often try to find their true selves and seek spiritual comfort through specific forms of travel,such as backpacking and hiking.As one of the most adventurous and challenging outdoor trekking activities,wilderness hiking is often called upon at important points in an individual's life,thereby serving as a metaphor for a fresh start.To some extent,wilderness hiking has the benefit of addressing the spiritual crisis of modernity.In this study,based on long-term contact with the outdoor activity market of youth groups,we examine the"hiking while not talking"event in the Hexi Corridor in Gansu province.In 2019 and 2020,the event organisers selected a substantial 200-km section of the Hexi Corridor to plan a one-week hiking activity,requiring participants to cut off their access to the Internet throughout the entire process and banning them to speak in stages to allow the participants to experience"a thorough and true exploration of their own hearts".This study uses qualitative research methods to conduct in-depth interviews with 18 participants to explore their authentic self-practice process in wilderness hiking and analyse the key conditions and intrinsic mechanism.The findings wereas follows.First,the participants of the"Hiking While Not Talking"in the Hexi Corridor have successfully completed the practice of existentialism's authentic self,which has a multi-dimensional structure and is based on intrapersonal authenticity,including physical instinct and self-cognition,and creates the relational authenticity composed of natural authenticity,time authenticity and interpersonal authenticity in close connection with nature,history and others.Second,the participants'authentic self-practice has experienced four stages:falling into self-doubt,learning self-mastery,promoting self-reflection and establishing link ability.Self-practice is the unique process of"seeing oneself inwardly and linking the world outwardly".Third,the wilderness natural environment of physical and mental challenge and the forced setting of functional disconnection(network disconnection and banned talking)played a key role in self-practice,truly creating a walking environment for participants to return to their physical and mental bodies,showing the dialectical relationship between functional disconnection and spiritual link.Ideal walking needs a good environment as support.A natural wilderness environment enables people to return to their physical and mental instincts and start to self-reflect and explore the meaning of existence.The construction of a digital-free environment provides support for focused local experience and authentic self-practice.This study reveals the relevant role and process mechanisms of outdoor tourism and serious leisure such as wilderness hiking in coping with the spiritual crisis of contemporary youth and expands the existing research's understanding of the relationship between the tourism world and daily life.
