本文是作者在家乡人类学研究过程中,就一些问题所做的思考,如对家乡人类学研究的切入契机、关于“他者”的探讨、确立乡镇为研究对象的类型学意义、主客体合一、地方性与整体性的互动、现代性背景下的乡村社会文化变迁,以及作为收集材料的口述手段,这些理论思考贯穿了作者实证研究的全过程。 This article is a reflection of some questions raised by the author in his hometown anthropological research, such as the turning point for the study of anthropology in his hometown, the discussion on “others, ” and the typological significance of establishing the township as the object of study. The integration of the object, the interaction between the local and the whole, the social and cultural changes in the countryside in the context of the modernity, and the oral means as a collection of materials, these theoretical considerations permeate the whole process of the author’s empirical research.
