两个苗族村落的权威结构

Authority Structure of Two Miao Villages

作者通过对贵州和云南两个苗族村落的田野考察,结合既往有关苗族村落之权威结构的民族学与人类学研究,以历史纵向书写的方式描述了两个村落的权威模式的形成、延续与现状,并分析了其中的原因。本文揭示两个文化相似的苗族村落在不同的历史条件下会形成不同的权威模式,而且这种模式会在村落中延续下去,这无疑也力图与那些赞同村落权威的模式发生的观点形成对话。

This article discusses about the authority structure of two Miao villages--one is in Guizhou Province,another in Yunnan Proeince--in which I have conducted my fieldwork researches.On the base of previous studies on this subject in ethnology and anthropology,I describe the formation,conitinuity and reality of the authority structure of the two vkooages from historical perspective and give my analysis of this description.This article reveals the two villages with almost same cultural characters could form different authority models under different historical situations.I observed these models didn't change in essence as the time passed by and this opinion is opposite to the idea which supports that the authority models changed as the time passed.
