中国都市人类学作为一门分支学科是在20世纪80年代出现的,都市人类学的发展沿续着人类学的母体,同时也有自身理论与方法的思考。国内的都市人类学一方面与国外都市人类学的研究保持密切的联系,同时也立足于中国本土的地域特色。研究主题大致可以概括为四类:一是学科本身的理论与方法反思;二是都市内包括农民工、少数民族、移民等在内的城市人群研究;三是乡村都市化研究;四是都市化问题研究。当下的中国都市人类学还处在发展阶段,在都市化背景之中还有较好的发展空间,都市人类学的学科发展既是学科自身发展所需,也是时代发展之需。 As a branch of Chinese urban anthropology emerged in the 1980s, the development of urban anthropology continues the mother of anthropology, but also has its own theory and method of thinking. On the one hand, domestic urban anthropology maintains close contact with the research on urban anthropology abroad and on the other hand, it also bases itself on the local characteristics of China. The research topics can be roughly summarized into four categories: one is the reflection of the theory and method of the subject itself; the other is the study of urban population including migrant workers, ethnic minorities and immigrants in the city; the third is the study of rural urbanization; the other is the urbanization Problem research. The current urban anthropology in China is still in the development stage, and there is still a good space for development in the context of urbanization. The development of urban anthropology is not only necessary for its own development, but also for the development of the times.
