疾病、文化抑或其他?——同性恋研究的人类学视角

Disease, Culture or Other Concerns? ——Anthropological Perspectives on Homosexuality Studies

客观存在的同性恋群体长期以来属于人类学研究的禁区,其承受的污名和歧视使触碰这一领域的学者规模和作品数量相对稀少,这种情况在中国人类学界尤为明显。从学科认识论来看,同性恋研究经历了"性逆转"、"性倒错"的医学范式;异性恋框架主导的文化影响模式;建构学派的历史、政治、经济视角批判;以及酷儿理论的全盘颠覆和开放式探索。

There had been very few scholars to touch high stigmatized homosexual groups for a long time. This phenomenon is more obvious in Chinese anthropological field. From the perspective of anthropological epistemology, four stages of homosexual studies have been emphasized including the medical paradigm of sexual inversion, cultural influence models framed by heterosexual concerns, critical perceptions of history, politics and economics dominated by social construction models; and queer theories’ subversive exploration. The paper aims to review anthropological theories of homosexual studies and provide possible research fields in the near future.
