从“实体追问”到“关系思维”--乡村文化建设研究转向

From"Substance Inquiry"to"Relational Thinking"——A Shift in the Paradigm of the Studies of Rural Cultural Development

乡村文化建设研究有“实体”和“关系”两种思维方式。进入中国特色社会主义新时代以来,我国乡村文化建设的社会基础、制度规范、价值取向均发生了重大改变,就文化谈文化的“实体追问”回避了乡村文化建设复杂的社会环境和结构性矛盾问题,极易导致不切实际的“空洞构建”。“乡村文化建设研究”专题以具体实践过程为主线,将研究对象置于某种历史或现实交汇的“关系场域”中加以分析,反映出乡村文化建设的多样性、系统性和动态性特征,可视为乡村文化建设研究从“实体追问”到“关系思维”转向的一次有益尝试。

There are two ways of thinking in the studies of rural cultural development:"entity"and"relationship".As the socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,major changes have taken place in the social foundation,institutional norms,and value orientation of rural cultural construction in our country.Focusing on culture,researches in the paradigm of"substance inquiry"ignore the complexity of social environment and the structural problems of cultural development in rural areas,which would easily lead to the unrealistic"hollow development".On the basis of specific practices,the three articles published in this issue analyze their objects in a“relational field”where history and reality meet,so as to reveal the diversified,systematic and dynamic features of rural cultural development.All these attempts are favorable to shift the studies of rural culture development from"substance inquiry"to"relational thinking".
