摘要
文化研究是人类学家研究文化的一个恒久方式,然而文化又是动态的,其定义一直难有一致的确认。随着信息时代的到来,文化也在日益信息化的过程中被赋予了新的内容——一套以人脑为载体,凭借习得、延续与不断创新、重构逐步定型下来的人为信息系统。依赖该系统,人类可以有效节制社会内物质与能量的有序运行,从而确保文化共同体的稳态延续并不断壮大,该系统也因之呈现出准生命的存在态势。
Cultural research is eternal for the anthropologists. However, culture is dynamic, so it is difficult to give an aeeordant definition to it. With the coming of information age, culture is given a new eontent--a man-made information system with human brain as its carrier, settled by aequisition, consistency, innovation, and reeonstruetion. Relying on this system, human beings can effectively control the orderly nmning of material and energy within the society, and assure the prosperity of cultural community. Because of this, the system will also represent a state of life existence.
