裕固族儿童“剃头仪式”的教育人类学研究

Study on the Hair-cutting Ceremony of Yugur Children from the Perspective of Educational Anthropology

文化取向的教育人类学是社会文化人类学的子学科之一,其最重要的贡献之一是并不把现代学校教育活动看成是人类教育活动的全部,从而将人生礼仪纳入到研究视野之内,成为其重要研究内容之一。现从教育人类学的视角出发,描述和分析裕固族儿童"剃头仪式"的过程和功能,并对把教育等同于学校教育的常识信条进行反思。

The culture-oriented Educational anthropology is one of the sub-disciplines of socio-cultural anthropology.One of its most important contributions is not viewing the modern school education as the whole human education activities,but putting life rituals into the research.This paper describes and analyzes the process and function of hair-cutting ceremony of Yugur children from the perspective of educational anthropology,and reflects the creed of viewing the education as schooling.
