人类学视野下“无国家社会”的权力研究——以利奇的《缅甸高地诸政治体系》为例

Research on the Power of “Denationalized Society”from the Perspective of Anthropology——A Case Study of Leach's Political Systems Of Highland Burma

人类学视野下对权力的研究是经验性研究,而非传统的思辨性研究。它是借助人类学常用的研究方法,对在习惯法背景下社会及人群中存在的自然权力进行的研究。从静态的角度来看,研究权力形成的结构和组成部分,探索自然权力的本质问题;从动态的角度来看,研究权力在组织动态伸缩的过程中,运用动态平衡的模式达到维系社会稳定的作用。

The research on power from the perspective of anthropology is empirical rather than traditionally theoretical. By utilizing popular anthropological methods,it studies the natural power within the society and population in the context of customary laws. From the static angle,we study the structure and ingredients of power and explore the essence of natural power. From the dynamic angle,we study how power maintains the stability of the society within the model of dynamic balance during the organization＇s movement.
