清至民国时期云南分家契约研究——基于对31份分家契约的法人类学分析

Study on Separation Contract in Yunnan from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China——Based on the Legal Anthropological Analysis of 31 Separation Contracts

分家契约是民间契约的重要组成部分,近些年来对分家契约的研究开始逐渐增多。但是大部分研究多从历史学的角度进行分析,以试图揭示在社会生活中普遍存在的各种经济制度,建构基于民间契约为根据的社会经济史。试图另辟蹊径,采用法人类学的研究方法,以云南的31份分家契约作为分析样本,将清至民国时期云南分家契约进行一些社会文化方面的分析。分析尽管以31份分家契约的文本为基础,但也不仅仅局限于文本。始终将分家契约置于特定的历史语境和社会文化中进行分析,从而揭示分家契约基本结构和内容的社会学基础,以及其所具有的诸多重要的社会功能。
