构建“三农”研究的经济学话语体系

Constructing the Discourse System of the Research onAgriculture,Rural Areas and Farmers in Economics

中国特殊的农情以及丰富的实践探索,决定了中国农业与农村经济研究应该能够做出特殊的理论贡献,并形成和确立有影响力的经济学话语体系与话语地位。本文首先基于研究对象(农业、农村、农民)性质的差异,分析了"三农"研究话语表达所存在的描述现象化、议题离散化与分析碎片化问题;然后,通过文献计量回顾了"三农"研究的经济学话语地位、演变轨迹及阶段性特征,揭示了"学术繁荣"背后所存在的不足;接着,通过对"三农"研究的经济学话语现实进行反思,从研究边界与知识分工的角度,阐明了农业经济学与农村经济学的话语定位。本文认为,"三农"问题研究及其经济学话语体系构建,必须高度重视科学问题导向与研究范式。提升中国"三农"研究的经济学话语地位,需要从本土化与国际化、历史遗产与现实价值、情境依赖与知识创造、反常现象与独辟蹊径、学术规范与思想碰撞等方面做出进一步的努力。

China’s unique agricultural development situations and rich practical explorations determine that its agricultural and rural economic research should be able to make special theoretical contributions,thereby forming an influential discourse system and discourse status in economics.Based on the uniqueness of research objects,namely,agriculture,rural areas and farmers,this article analyzes key problems including superficial descriptions,scattered topics and fragmented analyses,which lie in its discourse expression.It then reviews the discourse status,evolutionary history and periodic features of the research on agriculture,rural areas and farmers in economics by applying bibliometrics,which reveals the problems behind the claimed"academic prosperity".It further elaborates the discourse positioning of agricultural economics and rural economics,by re-examining the discourse system of agriculture,rural areas and farmers in economics,and from the perspective of research boundary and knowledge division.The present study holds that when researching on agriculture,rural areas and farmers,and constructing its discourse system in economics,it is highly recommended to rely on scientific problems and research paradigms.Focusing on improving the discourse position of the research on agriculture,rural areas and farmers in economics,the author proposes that further efforts should be devoted to five aspects,namely,localization and internationalization,historical heritage and practical value,situational dependence and knowledgecreation,abnormalphenomena and unique explorations,aswellas academicnorms and idea collision.
