全球化时代人类学视野下的边疆叙事及其演变

Borderland Narrative and its Evolution in the Era of Globalization in the Perspective of Anthropology

随着全球化时代的到来,边疆研究逐步进入到人类学视野之中。全球化时代,人类学视野下的边疆叙事走出了民族国家知识体系框架,通过阐释边疆空间变化所带来的不同社会关系和可能性结果,继而形成了“从边疆看世界”的鲜明的人类学叙事特征,内容包括边疆空间意义的地缘政治变迁和主体意义的生命政治形成,前者描述了边疆社会变迁和政治秩序的变化,后者则描述了边疆区域不同群体的社会实践以及相应治理技艺的演变,一同构成了全球化时代边疆“内”与“外”关联的多层面理解。人类学视野下的边疆叙事,对中国边疆研究具有重要的借鉴意义。

With the advent of the era of globalization, research on borderlands has gradually entered on the perspective of anthropology. In the era of globalization, the borderland narrative from the perspective of anthropology has got rid of the limitation of the theoretical framework of the nation-state. By explaining the different social relations and possible results caused by the spatial changes of the borderlands, it has formed the distinctive characteristics of anthropological narrative called “the world in the perspective of borderlands”, which includes the geopolitical changes with much spatial significance and the formation of the subjectivity of bio-politics of the borderlands. The former describes the changes of social changes and political order in the borderlands, while the latter describes the social practice of different groups in the borderlands and the evolution of corresponding governance skills, which have combined to form a multidimensional understanding of the relationship between “inside” and “outside” of the borderlands in the era of globalization. The borderland narrative from the perspective of anthropology has much reference value for the research on the borderlands of China.
