情感与人类学关系的三个维度

Three Dimensions of the Relationship Between Emotion and Anthropology

20世纪70年代,情感作为专门的研究领域被纳入人类学的学科视野,情感人类学正式成为人类学的分支学科之一。然而,情感之于人类学的意义,绝不限于成为一个新的研究主题或了解文化的又一个切入点。作为一种具有认识潜力的方法,情感体验正在推动人类学方法论的反思与更新。而对于田野过程中人类学学者自身情感状态的呈现与反思,也成为深化人类学表述的实验民族志方向之一。这三种维度一道,构成了当今人类学与情感错综复杂的关系,极大地改变着人类学的知识图景。

In the 1970s,emotion was included into anthropology as a special research field and became a sub-field of anthropology.But the value of emotion in anthropology is not limited to being merely a new research subject or a way to learn about culture.As an approach with cognitive potential,emotional experience has been encouraging reflections on and innovations in methodology of anthropology.Meanwhile,revealing the emotional states of anthropologists during fieldwork has also been a means to deepen the representation of experimental ethnography.These three dimensions constitute the complex relationship between anthropology and emotion and has been greatly changing the image of anthropology.
