试析史密斯的族裔——象征主义

An Initial Analysis of Smith's Ethno-Symbolism

重视民族的历史基础与历史延续性是史密斯倡导的族裔——象征主义的主要理论特征。对于西方学界存在着的割裂民族的历史延续性与主张民族主义即将消亡的观点,族裔——象征主义作出了有力的反驳,这是族裔——象征主义存在的理论合理性。但如何正确对待民族的历史变动性与民族的历史文化则是族裔——象征主义需要进一步进行理论创新才能解决的问题。

It is the main theoretical features of the ethno - symbolism that Mr. Smith attached great importance. Mr. Smith criticized the view in the west academic field to discontinue the national history and to advocate that nationalism Would vanish soon. This is the theoretical nationality in ethno-symbolism supported by Mr. Smith. However, how to correctly deal with the national alteration in history and historical culture of the nation is the problem that ethno-symbolism should solve with further theoretical development.
