客家研究的文化政治学——基于客家研究现状的反思

Cultural politics of Hakka research:Reflections on the existing Hakka research

客家学术史是由客籍学者单方面言说而成的,客家文化的知识体系和客家族群的整体形象都是客籍学者塑造出来的。一直没有脱离客家生活圈的普通客家人失去了表达的权力,他们被学者完全代言。这种惯性导致客家学术话语的单一和陈旧。扭转客家研究相对沉寂的局面,多学科的纳入可以促成短暂的热闹,却难以在理论方法的实质上有所突破。从文化政治学角度调整客家研究的发展方向,一是还客家人应有的言说和书写权力,从内部改变客家研究的话语系统;一是张开全球化的学术视野,从外部拓展客家研究的学术边界。

The Hakka academic history has been constructed by the Hakka researchers who have also constructed their cultural knowledge system and their whole ethnic image.As the ordinary Hakka people who have not been divorced from the Hakka life circle have lost their power of expression,they are fully endorsed by the Hakka scholars.This inertia leads to the unitary and obsolete style of the Hakkas'academic discourse.The integration of multi-disciplines can lead to a short period of bustle which could temporarily reverse the relatively quiet situation of the Hakka research,but it is difficult to make a breakthrough in the key theoretical methods.The shift of the research orientation from the perspective of cultural politics in Hakka studies can not only resume their power of discourse and change the existing discourse system of Hakka research from inside,but also expand the academic boundary of Hakka research from outside with an international vision.
