三论“主体民族志”:走出“表述的危机”

The Third Essay on Subjective Ethnography:Out of the Crisis of Representation

解释人类学与实验民族志为走出"表述的危机"作出了种种努力,但这些努力终因对叙事合法性的质疑、掌握笔杆子的人的话语霸权、民族志陷于自白与忏悔之中等诸多原因而无法摆脱困境。本文在"表述者"问题上提出"自律性"要求,在"表述什么"问题上提出"符号扇面"的两种叙事诉求,在"怎样表述"问题上提出对蹠主体的"裸呈"式整体展示,以这三个方面作为"主体民族志"重塑表述、走出危机的路径探索。

Although interpretive anthropology and experimental ethnography made great efforts to overcome the crisis of representation,they didn't find a way out of their predicament owning to questioning on the narrative legality,discourse hegemony held by those who mastering authority of writting,and a situation in which ethnography lost in confession and repentance.In order to resolve the predicament,this article suggests a request of self-discipline on the question of narrator,two narrative demands of ' symbol sector' on the question of what is narrated by the author,naked presentation as well as the whole demonstration of antipode subjects on the question of how to narrate.In a sense,subjective ethnography tries to rebuild representation and come out of the crisis of representation.
