【非洲·阿尔及利亚】与特莱姆森传统婚礼服装相关的习俗与技艺 Rites and craftsmanship associated with the wedding costume tradition of Tlemcen（2012年）

阿尔及利亚西北部特莱姆肯的婚礼仪式从父母家开始，新娘穿着传统编织的金色丝绸礼服，周围环绕着她的朋友和已婚女性亲属，后者穿着自己的婚礼服装。象征性的指甲花图案被运用到她的手上，一位年长的女士帮她穿上一件由刺绣天鹅绒、珠宝和圆锥形帽子组成的卡夫坦。一排排巴洛克风格的珍珠保护她的重要器官和生殖器官免受邪灵的侵害。新娘一出门，就披上一层金色的丝质面纱。在婚礼宴会上，一位来自新娘核心圈子的已婚女子在新娘面颊和下唇的面纱下绘制红色和银色图案，以净化和保护新娘。新娘在戴上卡夫坦、珠宝和化妆品后，摘下面纱，准备结婚。Tlemcen的女孩在很小的时候就开始了服装传统，而制作珍贵婚礼服装的工艺则代代相传。仪式象征着家庭之间的联盟和世代之间的延续，而工艺在保持特莱姆肯社区的创造力和身份认同方面发挥着重要作用。

The wedding ritual of Tlemcen in northwestern Algeria commences in the parents’ home, where the bride is dressed in a traditionally woven golden silk dress, surrounded by her friends and married female relations, the latter wearing their own wedding costumes. Symbolic henna designs are applied to her hands, and an older woman helps her don a caftan of embroidered velvet, jewellery and a conical hat. Rows of baroque pearls protect her vital and reproductive organs against evil spirits. On leaving the house, the bride is covered with a golden veil of silk. During the wedding feast a married woman from the bride’s inner circle draws red and silver designs beneath the veil on the bride’s cheeks and under her lower lip to purify and protect her. Once protected by her caftan, jewels and make-up, the bride removes her veil, ready to be wed. Girls in Tlemcen are initiated into the costume tradition at an early age, while the craftsmanship involved in making the precious wedding costume is transmitted from generation to generation. The rite symbolizes the alliance between families and continuity between generations, while the craftsmanship plays a major role in perpetuating the creativity and identity of the Tlemcen community.
