文化、结构与表述:概论人类学视域下的族群研究

Culture,Structure and Expression:On Study of Ethnic Groups from Anthropological Perspective

文化整体性是人类学重要的学科视野,整体性背景下展开的人类学族群研究因其研究对象的灵活、多变,突显社会—文化建构意义上的多样性特点;人类学理论擅长预设社会事实及与之相匹配的社会结构,实现理论阐释维度上的可操作性,而行为主体的认同实践具备情境条件下的层级分布特点,这使族群研究的结构性问题变得极其复杂;文化变迁是现代性和全球化背景下当代社会的频发事实,文化涵化突显层级流变的趋势,从族群研究角度来讲这和族群互动关系密切,人类学的族群研究触及深层意义上的文化比较与身份表述。

Cultural integrity is a key disciplinary perspective of anthropology. Under the integrity background, due to its flexibility and changeability, the anthropological study of ethnic groups has prominent diversity features in terms of the construction of society-culture, anthropological theories work well in presuming social facts and their matching social structure, realize the operability in the dimension of theoretical interpretation, the identity practice of behavior subjects has features of grad- able distribution under situational conditions, and this makes the structure issues of ethnic groups study much more complicated. Under the background of modernity and globalization, cultural evolution is a frequent fact in modern society, cultural acculturation shows prominent trend of hierarchical rheology, this is closely related to the interaction of ethnic groups from perspectives of ethnic groups study. Anthropological study of ethnic groups probes into cultural comparison and identity expression in depth.
