植物与游牧民的生活--兼论地方性知识的生产与再生产

Plants and the Life of Nomadic People:Discussion the Production and Reproduction of Local Knowledge

游牧民有让人印象深刻的关于植物的地方性知识,包括认知体系、利用体系与观念体系三个层面。这些知识扎根于游牧实践,忠实地表达了人群、畜群与草原的复杂动态关系。地方性知识有可变性,因知识生产情境的变化而不断重塑。人类学家既要记录、搜集、整理和研究地方性知识,也要关注并解释其变化与变化的过程,还要探讨地方性知识与科学知识链接的可能路径,以更加务实的态度探讨地方性知识在生态文明建设中的角色。

Nomadic people has impressive indigenous knowledge about plants including three levels which are cognitive system,utilization system and value system.Indigenous knowledge plants in the practice of nomadic pastoralism,and expresses the complex and dynamic relationship among population,herds and steppes veritably.Changeability is a trait of indigenous knowledge,which means it is reconstructed by the change of the production context of knowledge constantly.Anthropologists need not only to record,collect,reorganize and research indigenous knowledge,but also need to follow and interpret the change and the process.It is also necessary to explore the possible path that can link indigenous knowledge with scientific knowledge and the role of indigenous knowledge in ecological civilization construction more pragmatically.
