多样性的博物知识与文化解释

The Diversified Knowledge of Natural History and Its Cultural Interpretation

讲求对地方性知识的描述,并分析其中的价值,是人类学的传统,这实际上表明人类学的研究也是一个不断地获取对世界不同的理解体系的过程,即"多样性的博物知识",其更重要的意义在于通过多样性的文化理解、保护甚至认同来实现族际间的宽容与和谐,相关个案例证也说明了这一点。因此,加强"多样性的博物知识"体系的建构,实质上也是人类学"本土化"的重要路径。

A tradition of anthropological research is to describe local knowledge and analyze its value.This shows that anthropological research is also a constant process of accessing different understandings of the world,or ＂diversified knowledge of natural history＂.Its significance lies in achieving tolerance and harmony among ethnic groups through understanding,protection and even approval of diversified culture.Therefore,strengthening construction of a diversified knowledge system of natural history is an important approach to the ＂localization＂ of anthropology.
