海外民族志:发展中国社会科学的一个路途

Overseas Ethnography:An Approach to Develop Chinese Social Sciences

海外民族志是世界人类学界的后来者的概念，也就是非西方的概念。中国人类学界直到进入21世纪之后才开展有规模的境外田野作业的民族志研究，这既是中国与世界的关系进入一种新格局的反映，也是中国发展自己新生的表述世界的“写文化”能力的一种表现。借助于海外民族志在方法、中国与外部世界关系的观念以及各国的社会事实的基本资料上的积累，中国的整个社会科学将找到一条新的发展之路。

＂ Overseas Ethnography＂ is a kind of concepts developed by the late comers in the world anthropological society,i, e. , a non--European concept. Ethnographic researches based on fieldworks in overseas societies began after the coming of 21th century in Chinese anthropology. The new phenomenon is a reflection of a new pattern of the relationship between China and the world, and a representation of the Chinese capability of writing cultures of the world. Base on the contributions of methodology, conceptions of the relationship between China and the world, and materials of social facts of the global society, Chinese social sciences will find new road to their developments.
