源于乡土之中的“村规民约”体系及其未来演化方向——基于法律人类学的研究进路

The Present Situation and the Future of China's Village Regulation——Using the Method of Legal Anthropology

基于法律人类学的视域,可以对中国现今的"村规民约"体系作出系统解读。围绕着"村规民约"的概念之争及其性质之辩,学界历来存在着不同声音。因此,在定义其属性之时,有必要将其置于"国家法"的分析框架之中,进而凸显其价值特性。与此同时,采用结构主义的研究方法,可以对"村规民约"的运行机制及其运行模式作出深层剖析。在未来语境下,"村规民约"的命运取决于双重维度——即内在维度和社会维度。只有优化"村规民约"的生成程序,才能凸显"村规民约"的自生秩序功能;只有建构完备的吸收转化机制,方能实现"村规民约"与"国家法"在可行时空内的多元互动。

By using the method of Legal Anthropology, we can analyze our county＇s village regulation. There are always divergences about what is village regulation in the scholarship. In fact, to answer this question, we must take the law into consideration.At the same time, using the model of structuralism, we can investigate the functioning mode of village regulation. In the future, the destiny of village regulation depends on two kinds of factors, which are internal factors and external factors. Only by enhancing the functioning mode of village regulation, can we achieve the goal of the effective interaction between the law and the village regulation.
