社会环境与学科发展——台湾人类学史三题

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF DISCIPLINE:Three Topics in History of Anthropology in Taiwan Region

从知识社会学角度看,社会建构论者认为,一门学科的兴起与发展的过程,往往就是知识生产和社会环境互动互惠的过程。在台湾,由于人类学学科一度曾经成为社会科学研究的领军学科,其发展中经历的各种变化往往也是社会环境变换的折射。因此,回顾和反思台湾人类学的历史,及其在知识生产的过程与社会环境的互动和互惠,不仅对中国大陆人类学的发展具有一定借鉴意义,而且对于中国社会科学在发展中如何实现本土化和国际化对接同样具有重要的参考价值。

From the perspective of knowledge sociology, social constructionists hold that the process in which a discipline rises and grows is often the process of interaction and reciprocity between knowledge production and social environment. As anthropology once became the leading discipline of social science research in the Taiwan Region, the changes it experienced in its development were often refractive to change of social environment. Therefore, not only the review and reflection on the history of anthropology and its interaction and reciprocity with social environment in the process of knowledge production in Taiwan Region has a certain reference on the development of anthropology in China's Mainland, but it also has an important reference value on how to realize the localization and to dock with internationalization for Chinese social sciences in development.
