摘　　要：本文基于在英国达勒姆的观察和访谈,探讨了当地的街头艺人如何在表演中使用策略,与街道环境及行人互动。本研究探讨了街头表演吸引观众的技巧,他们如何理解和驾驭自己在社会中的边缘地位。本文结合生态学理论和参与式观察,认为街头艺人从事的不仅是一种表演,更是一种与环境密切相关的实践。本文解释了街头艺人如何适应城市街区,与陌生人建立联系和互动。此外,艺人有意与刻板印象保持距离,既不表现为乞讨,也不纯粹以营利为目的,而是为城市生活中增加活力和生机,让公众对其行业产生积极的看法。本文通过对街头艺人及其社会关系的关注,意在为街头表演研究增加个人和环境视角。This paper,based on observations and interviews in Durham,UK,explores how local buskers use different strategies in their performances,considering the environment of the streets and the behavior of pedestrians.It looks into the skills buskers use to engage audiences,reflecting how they understand and navigate their somewhat marginalized position in society.By incorporating ecological theories and real-life observations,the paper suggests that busking is not just a performance but a practice deeply connected to the environment.It explains how buskers adapt to urban streets,creating connections and interactions with strangers.Additionally,buskers deliberately distance themselves from stereotypes,presenting themselves as neither beggars nor purely profit-driven,aiming to create a positive public perception of their trade.The essay's focus on the relational aspects of busking adds valuable insights to the study of street performance from both a personal and environmental perspective.
