面对世界的中国传统——人类学与中国传统漫谈

Chinese Tradition Confronting the World——Casual Talks on Anthropology and Chinese Tradition

在2007年10月27日"人类学与中国传统"圆桌论坛的大会中,徐杰舜教授提出"人类学的中国话语",引起了各方的激烈论争。这是一个关系到中国人类学学科发展未来走向的命题。同时,问题也不止于此。在"中国话语"论争的表征背后所触及到的,应该是一个更为坚实和更为深刻的基底——中国传统。人类学如何面对多元一体的中国传统?这关涉到中国人类学研究的理论诉求、方法范式,以及现实关怀等一系列值得我们共同思考的问题。因此,作为对圆桌论坛的"人类学的中国话语"学术论争的一种回应和延伸,人类学与中国传统的圆桌座谈会的意义就显得格外重要。本刊将陆续发表由徐杰舜教授策划、主持的"人类学与中国传统"圆桌系列座谈会的纪实,以飨读者。

In the conference of round table iorum, whose theme is ＂ Anthropology and Chinese Tradition＂, which was held on October 27,2007, Professor Xu Jie-shun put forward the term of ＂Chinese Discourse of Anthropology＂ and it evoked heated controversy. This will influence the development orientation of Chinese anthropology in the future. Furthermore, the involved arguments touch a profounder and deeper theory - Chinese tradition. How to cope with the diverse Integral Chinese tradition involves a series of problems such as the theoretical pursuit,method paradigms and practical concerns,which call for our thinking. As a respond and extension to the academic controversy of ＂Chinese Discourse of Anthropology＂ , the conference of round table forum is of great signifieance. ＂This journal will issue the documentary series of ＂Anthropology and Chinese Tradition＂, which was projected and hosted by professor Xu Jie-shun,to benefit the readers.
