人类学非洲研究及中国学科建构的现实诉求

Anthropological African Studies and the Realistic Seeking for Its Course Building in China

非洲社会有具有自身的文化特性。要真正理解非洲、认知非洲、做好非洲研究,应该有人类学的视野与角度。从历史角度看,人类学非洲研究发迹于殖民研究基础,以利益博弈为原始动力。中国人类学的任务是洞察维系非洲社会的机制,解读非洲社会符码的表征。鉴于中国人类学非洲研究的现实需求与历史局限性,需中国学界拓展研究视野,加强对非洲的人类学研究。

Africa has its own cultural characters.To know Africa,perceive Africa and do research on Africa well,the view and perspective of anthropology is needed.Historically,anthropological African studies stemmed from the studies of colonization and is initially motivated by interest games.The task of the Chinese anthropology is to survey the mechanisms that connect the African societies and explain their phenomenons.Considering the realistic needs and historical limitation of the anthropological African studies in China,it should be strengthened and the vision should be widened for the Chinese researchers.
