中华民族共同体学科体系建设现状及发展策略

Current Status and Development Strategy in Constructing a Disciplinary System of Chinese National Community

加强中华民族共同体学科体系建设,是以铸牢中华民族共同体意识为主线、加强和改进新时代党的民族工作的迫切需要,也是推动新时代党的民族理论守正创新的迫切需求。通过分析高校设有民族学一级学科与中华民族共同体相关的专业和方向情况,以及中央统战部、中央宣传部、教育部、国家民委等四部委共同印发《关于加强铸牢中华民族共同体意识理论研究体系建设的意见》,明确了开展铸牢中华民族共同体意识研究的重点方向,包括习近平总书记关于加强和改进民族工作的重要思想研究、中华民族共同体重大基础性问题研究、中华民族史研究、中华民族共同体建设重大现实问题研究等四个领域。经研究,认为中华民族共同体学科体系构建还处于起步阶段,中华民族共同体建设重大现实问题研究主题最为丰富,但中华民族共同体重大基础性问题研究、中华民族史研究还需加强。需要进一步把准学科方向,建立跨学科协同合作互促共进机制,更好发挥其育人功能等加强学科体系建设。

Strengthening the construction of a disciplinary system of the Chinese national community is urgently needed for reinforcing and improving the Party's ethnic work in the new era of China,as well as for promoting the principle of“upholding tradition while embracing innovation”of the Party's ethnic theory in this new era.This study collected the 2023 doctoral and 2024 master enrollment prospectuses issued by Chinese universities hosting first-tier disciplines in ethnology and extracted the respective majors and directions associated with the Chinese national community and their distribution in the relevant first-level discipline.At the same time,it gathered brief introductions,updates,and other textual resources pertaining to 28 Research Bases for Forging Chinese National Community Consciousness(2023-2025 cycle)as announced by the United Front Work Department of CPC Central Committee,the Publicity Department of CPC Central Committee,the Ministry of Education and National Ethnic Affairs Commission,and extracted the discipline fields and related discipline information of the bases.All these are used as a data source to analyze the current situation of the disciplinary system construction concerning the Chinese national community.In February 2023,the United Front Work Departmentof the CPC Central Committee,the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee,the Ministry of Education,and National Ethnic Affairs Commission jointly issued the Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of the Theoretical Research System for Forging Chinese National Community Consciousness.These guidelines sought to clarify key directions for research on the consciousness of the community for the Chinese nation,including General Secretary Xi Jinping's thought on strengthening and improving ethnic work in the new era,major fundamental issues concerning the community of the Chinese nation,studies on the history of the Chinese nation,and research into significant practical problems concerning the construction of Community for the Chinese Nation.This research takes this as an analytical framework to investigate the current situation of constructing a discipline system of the Community for the Chinese Nation,and it finds that a lot of the discipline or research directions exhibit comprehensive characteristics,whereas the focus and scope of the research domain remain relatively vague,reflecting that the construction of a disciplinary system of Community for the Chinese Nation is still in its nascent phase.The remaining discipline contents predominantly center around nine key areas:National/ethnic theory with Chinese characteristics,Marxist national community theory and its adaptation to the Chinese context,the concept of the Chinese national community,Chinese and ethnic cultural studies,the history of the communication,interaction,and integration of the Chinese nation,ethnic unity and national identity,visual image and communication strategies of the Chinese nation,social governance and legal protection in ethnic areas,and promotion of all ethnic groups jointly moving toward modernization.The discipline system of the Chinese national community is to be characterized by interdisciplinary features,including law,philosophy,literature,history,education,economics,management,art,ethnology,sociology,political science,and Marxist theory.In conclusion,this article underscores the essentiality of aligning disciplinary orientations with the major strategy of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation,establish mechanisms of interdisciplinary cooperation and mutual reinforcement,and give full play to its educational function so as to strengthen the construction of a disciplinary framework of the Chinese national community.
