“主”荫下:重读费子智和许烺光的大理研究

Under the Shadow of the House Holder:Rereading C.P.Fitzgerald and Francis L.K.Hsu's Dali Studies

作者通过重读费子智的《五华楼》与许烺光的《祖荫下》两部早期中国人类学著作,分析两位学者对中国西南大理研究的不同取向,并试图整合两位学者的研究成果,提供对大理社会的全面理解,包括经济、社会结构、文化传统等多个维度。基于田野重访和文本重读,两部著作不同的表述在家屋和共同体的视角下逐渐澄清,田野的生命力促使我们不断补正对地方社会的认识,而对传统的认识是我们深入理解文化接触与变革的前提。

After rereading C.P.Fitzgerald's The Tower of Five Glories and Francis L.K.Hsu's Under the Ancestors'Shadow,two early works on Chinese anthropology,this paper analyzes the different orientations of the two scholars in the study of Dali in Southwest China,and attempts to integrate the research results of the two scholars to provide a comprehensive understanding of Dali society,including economy,social structure,and cultural tradition.Based on field revisits and textual rereadings,the different expressions of the two works in the perspective of the family house and the community are clarified,the vitality of the field prompts us to constantly amend our understanding of local society,and the understanding of tradition is the prerequisite for our in-depth understanding of cultural contact and change.
