“他者”眼中的“他者”——浅谈运用文化人类学研究中医

Significances of overseas anthropological researches on Chinese Medicine as the “Other”

中国本土的近现代意义上的"社会科学"始于19世纪末20世纪初,然而从50年代起本土人类学研究又几乎停滞了30年。作为几十年后的新一代学者,面对历史性的损失我们更有责任感和紧迫感来发展学术研究。国外汉学研究的记录和成果成为我们可以借鉴的"他山之石"。文化人类学具有先天的跨文化研究的学科优势,用来研究中医,有助于摆脱西方中心主义与科学主义的桎梏,清醒地重塑文化自豪感,在全球化和现代化的新时代背景下重新定位、寻求发展。

The modem ＂social studies＂ in China began around the end of 19th century and the beginning of 20th century but almost ceased during the 1950 s and 1980 s. As the new generation of scholars, we are obliged to work harder on academin researches.The achievements of overseas sinology researches could be our research basis. Cultural anthropology has the innate advantages on cross-cultural studies and could contribute to get rid of current Western Centrism and scientism in China, to reinforce cultural self-confidence of the Chinese, and to re-identify Chinese Medicine in the context of globalization and modernization in order to seek for development.
