一个西南边陲小镇,20个来自五湖四海的年轻人,一个夏天,一届田野营。学术训练与公民社会参与的结合作为组织者,当我们一次次和同学、同事、NGO的伙伴、朋友以及家人解释田野营的时候,总最先碰到这样的问题:田野营是做什么的?你们真的下田去吗?显然,“田野”这个文化人类学上的专业概念并不普及,以致于人们常常把它和农业生活中的田野混淆。而碰巧田野营的选址在农村地区,所以难免造成误解和疑惑。 A southwest border town, 20 young people from all corners of the globe, a summer field camp. Combination of Academic Training and Civil Society Participation As the organizer, when we explain field camps with our classmates, colleagues, NGOs, friends and family time and time again, the first time we ever run into such questions is: What does Field Camp do? Do you really go to the fields? Obviously, the cultural anthropology concept of “field” is not so widespread that people often confuse it with fields in agricultural life. The camp site happens to be in rural areas, so it inevitably leads to misunderstanding and confusion.
