关于人类学学科定位的相关问题

基于对人类学的哲学思考——人类学的发展正在经过"肯定—否定—肯定"的指向发展,依据"总体人类学"的学科分类,人类学学科的科学知识既有自然科学的性质也有社会、人文科学的性质;如果必须在科学性质上对其进行分类,总体原则只能是依研究者所研究对象的性质而定。鉴于人类学学科定位的重要性,对"ethnography"与"ethnology"作定性说明很有必要。

Differences in reproductive endocrinology between Asian men and Caucasian men——a literature review

This review provides an overview of the literature on aspects of reproductive endocrinology wherein Asian menmay differ from Caucasian, notably, prostatic nioplasm and the sensivity to pharmacological regimens of male contra-ception. Both genetic and environmental factors, such as nutrition, might be relevant. Asian men residing in Asia seemto be relatively protected from clinical prostatic nioplasm while the prevalence of preclinical prostatic nioplasm is notdifferent. Migration to an area with a higher prevalence reduces this difference but does not undo it. With regard toprostatic nioplasm the following factors have been considered as relevant in Asian men: 1) a reduction in 5α-reductaselevel, 2) decreased levels of androgenic ketosteroid precursors of 5α-reduced androgen metabolites, 3) the decreasedpresence of a P53 mutation, 4) a higher CAG-repeat length of the androgen receptor, 5) a possible higher level ofphysical activity, 6) differences in sexual activity. Furthermore, Asian men respond to a higher degree with azoosper-mia in response to contraceptive steroids. Possible explanations offered for the more pronounced response to contracep-tive steroids are: 1) differences in testicular structure and decreased spermatogenic potential, 2) an earlier and moremarked suppression in LH secretion by exogenous androgens. The differences may be due to genetical and/or environ-mental factors influencing the peripheral testosterone metabolism. Dietary factors such as the higher intake of phytoe-strogens in Asians might exert effects on 5α-reductase activity and/or on sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels,thus having an impact on the biological efficay of circulating androgens.

The European of the Future as a “New Synthesis”: Nietzsche and the Ethnological Task of the West

From a hermeneutic and comparative perspective,the purpose of this paper is to discuss investigative paths of ethnological and ethnographic aspects in Nietzsche’s writings that became relevant for different elaborations of the concept of synthesis in specific thought cycles of his work.In a first step,these aspects are verified in his school,philological and philosophical texts,described in relation to his studies on ancient Greek culture and compared under the parameter of the different conceptions of synthesis developed by him in each identified phase.Subsequently,the concept of synthesis is discussed as physiology(considering body,consciousness,and language),explaining human life as a creative expression of nature itself.With this explanation,it becomes possible to understand the processes related to the concept of synthesis as the task of those he terms as good Europeans,and the great politics in his philosophy of the future.The identification between the feeling of resistance(Widerstandsgefühl)and the imminence point of the preliminary stage of dominion structures(Herschafts-Gebilde)in the last analyzed conception of synthesis is the logical and ethical path towards the demonstration intended here.The article concludes by demonstrating the creative and dynamic character of the metaphilosophical scope of the task proposed by him in the mid-1880s and the possibilities opened up from then on for future discussions of culture,aesthetics,knowledge,logic,ethics,and politics.

中国民族学的研究范式及创新

In almost a century of its development,Chinese ethnology has gradually formed some significant academic paradigms.One of them is the"ethnic research paradigm"which concentrates on summarizing,organizing,and detailing social and cultural facts using"ethnicity"as its primary unit.This paradigm sees ethnicity as its foundational unit of study.Meanwhile,the"inter-ethnic research paradigm"transcends singular ethnic groups,spotlighting the complex interactions between multiple ethnic groups.It views a multi-ethnic community or region as its core research field,underscoring the nuances of cultural exchange,overlap,and shared experiences.These two paradigms,while distinct,are both invaluable to Chinese ethnology.They don't replace each other but rather work synergistically.Pioneering ethnologist,Fei Xiaotong,masterfully merged these paradigms in his groundbreaking"pluralism and unity"theory,ushering in a refreshed framework for Chinese ethnological studies.This article delves into these foundational paradigms from a historical academic lens,aiming to further refine and enrich the scientific methodologies employed in Chinese ethnology.
