人类学云南研究的意义

The Significance of the Anthropological Studies on Yunnan

一百年来,人类学的云南研究取得了重大的成就,其经验是:人类学的本土化。本土化的要义就是去西方化,把人类学的云南研究从西方的殖民主义为导向改变为中华民族的自立自强为导向;把西方的民族分治、民族分立、民族独立的人类学取向,改变为中国的民族和睦、民族融合、民族团结、国家统一的人类学取向。尊重人类学的学科特点,尊重人类学工作者的独立人格,保证人类学工作者思想的自由,是人类学学科赖以生存和发展的基本条件,是人类学工作者发挥智慧、做出成绩的环境,也是人类学云南研究的重要经验之一。强调中华民族是一个,坚持中国历史发展的整体性,是人类学云南研究的基本原则。人类学的云南研究无疑会对人类学的发展做出新贡献。在全球化背景下,人类学云南研究,不仅在中国具有范式的意义,在世界上也有普世的价值。

The anthropological studies on Yunnan in the past 100 years have made great achievements, which owe much to the localization of anthropological studies. The essence of localization finds expression in de - Westernization. The anthropological research on Yunnan has oriented itself to the self - reliance of the Chinese nation rather than the guidance of West colonialism, and to the ethnic harmony, ethnic fusion, and national unity of China rather than the ethnic independence, separation and administration of the West. The respect for the disciplinary traits of anthropology and for the independent personality of anthropologists and the guarantee of their research freedom are the basic conditions of the survival and development of anthropology as a discipline and the environment for anthropologists to make achievements as well as an important experience obtained from the anthropological studies on Yunnan. The emphasis on the unity of the Chinese nation and the adherence to the wholeness of the historical development of China is the basic principle for the anthropological studies on Yunnan if more achievements are expected. In the process of globalization, the anthropological studies on Yunnan will have its universal significance both in China and in the world.
