生物性和社会文化性:对“家族”与“民族”关系的人类学思考

BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIOCULTURAL NATURE: AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDY ON THE RELATION OF “FAMILY CLAN” AND “NATION”

对生物性与社会文化性的讨论是人类学研究的基本理论命题之一。从这两个层面去看待家族和民族,既避免了封闭的阈于血缘和文化等传统特征的研究,又避免了在全球化背景下过度突出家族主义和民族主义政治意识形态的倾向,从该二元概念为切入点探讨中国人类学研究中不可忽视的家族和民族关系问题,揭示二者的相似性,有助于重新思考文化生产、文化再造、家族主义和民族主义等问题。

The discussion of biological and sociocultural nature is one of basic topics of anthropology. Seeing family clanism and nation from the two conceptions could not only avoid doing a closed research limited in traditional characteristics,such as blood kinship and culture,but also avoid the trend of excessive prominence in family clanism and nationalism in a globalization background. Using this dual-concept to study the relation of family clan and nation that the anthropological research can not neglect and reveal the similarities between the two factors will bring contributions on our reflections on the culture production,culture recreation,family clanism and nationalism etc.
