人类学理论视域中的物质文化研究

THE STUDIES OF MATERIAL CULTURE IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL THEORY

物质文化作为人类学研究对象之一,在不同的理论流派中显示出不同的学术地位与价值。无论是作为文化进化标识,社会功能与结构附属物,或者是表征意义的符号,还是参与建构人类社会文化的行动体,对其所做的研究均成为人类学知识的组成部分。

Material culture, one of the objects of anthropology, possesses different scholastic position and value in different theoretical schools. The study of material culture has become a component of anthro pological knowledge, whatever it is regarded as the sign of cultural evolution, the appendage of social func tion and social structure, the symbol which represents meaning or the product taking part in the construction of human society and culture.
