How Local Becomes Global:Comment on Wang Mingke’s "Poison Cat" Theory

从边缘出发,检讨人类社会暴力与恐惧的根源是王明珂“毒药猫”理论的核心问题。“毒药猫”理论自有其西方理论借镜,但又不同于“替罪羊”理论,而是生发于王明珂长达数十年的田野观察与对社会本相的不断省思。同时,该理论适用于不同场域、不同社会情境,具有理论独创性、现实性与跨域普适性。借助“毒药猫”理论的探讨,亦可管窥地方性知识公共化、全球化的路径。

Starting from the marginal,reviewing the roots of violence and fear in human society is the core issue of Wang Mingke’ s " poison cat" theory.The "poison cat " theory has its own reference to Western theories,but it is different from the " scapegoat " theory.It is born out of Wang Mingke’ s decades of field observation and continuous reflection on the truth of society.At the same time,the theory is applicable to different fields and different social situations,and has theoretical originality,reality and cross-domain universality.with the help of the "poison cat " theory,we can also get a glimpse of the path to the publicization and globalization of local knowledge.
