论“民族生境”的生态人类学价值

The Value of "Ethnic Habitat"in the Context of Ecological Anthropology

20世纪90年代初,受生态学中“生境”一词的启发,国内生态人类学界出现了“民族生境”这一学术用语。经过近30年的学术实践,“民族生境”概念及有关研究范式在国内人类学界逐步确立。对“民族生境”的生态人类学价值进行论析,有助于揭示地球生命系统中人类文化与生态之间的关系,有益于生态人类学研究取向的转型,对建构人类学中国话语和人类学中国流派具有重要意义。

Inspired by the term " habitat" in Ecology,the academic term " ethnic habitat" was first adopted in the field of Ecological Anthropology in China in the early1990 s.After nearly 30 years of academic practice,the concept of " ethnic habitat" and its related research paradigm have been gradually established in the field of Anthropology in China.The analysis of the value of "ethnic habitat" in the context of Ecological Anthropology is helpful to reveal the essence of the relationship between human culture and ecology in the living system of the earth,and it is also beneficial to the transformation of the research orientation of Ecological Anthropology.Meanwhile,it attaches significant meanings to the construction of the Chinese discourse of Anthropology or the Chinese schools of Anthropology.
