走向深处:俄罗斯田野工作的经验谈

本文以“走向深处”为线索,回顾和反思了我第一次在俄罗斯的田野调查。走向深处是我在这次田野调查中最深的体悟,要做好田野调查,不仅要走进田野调查地这个空间的深处,还要走进时间的深处,关注田野点的地方史和报道人的生命史,更为难得的是走进当地人心灵的深处。“走向深处”需要民族志学者具有“交往的天赋”和“适应的天赋”,民族志学者正是在与田野点和当地人彼此交往和相互适应的过程中,完成了从进入、融入到深入田野的过程。

This article reviews and reflects on my first fieldwork in Russia using“Going Deep”as a clue.“Going deep”is my most profound feeling during this fieldwork.To do a good job in the fieldwork,one must not only go into the depths of the space where the fieldwork is conducted,but also go into the depths of time and pay attention to the local history as well as the reporter’s life history,and what’s even more rare is to reach the depths of people’s soul.“Going deep”requires ethnographers to have the“talent of communication”and the“talent of adaptation”.It is in the interaction and mutual adaptation with field sites and local people that ethnographers complete the process of entering,integrating and exploring deep into the field.
