从民族志撰写角度重读《西太平洋的航海者》

Re-reading Argonauts of the Western Pacific in the Perspective of Ethnography Writing

《西太平洋的航海者》是经典民族志的开山之作,本文基于对该书的阅读,就田野工作成果科学化、长期参与观察田野研究和科学数据处理这三项民族志写作指导原则展开讨论,涉及对参与和观察间张力的处理、参与观察民族志表述与伦理挑战、民族志撰写的主体间性等问题,并就反思后的反思提出己见。

Argonauts of the Western Pacific is the pioneer work of classical ethnography. The article discusses the writing principles of ethnography in terms of scientific ethnography, long-term participant observation, and scien- tific data processing based on the reading of this work. It deals with the issues about the treatment of the tension between participant and observation, the ethical challenges on ethnography of participant observation, and the inter- subjectivity in writing ethnography and provides the author＇s own reflections on these anthropological reflections.
