历史人类学与人类学意义上的历史

近几年来,人类学对历史、社会以及其他人文科学研究所产生的影响越来越大,反之,历史研究对人类学的影响也不可忽视。但是,历史人类学至少在目前还未发展成一个学科分支,我们只能将其视为一种研究方法和视角。而作为人类学家,我们首先要思考的一个问题是,对人类学而言,历史到底意味着什么？人类学研究的对象往往具有边缘性,因此除了文字所载的历史外,人类学家还需更多关注非文字载体所承载的历史,空间、景观、身体、行为、记忆等都是历史的载体。

The Historical Anthropology and the History at Anthropology

Recently, anthropology is increasingly influential upon historical science, sociology and other human sciences, likewise historical research upon anthropology. Yet historical anthropology is not an independent branch of discipline, just a method or a perspective. As an anthropologist, the first question we need to consider is what the history really predicate. Given that the subject of anthropology is marginal, anthropologists need to pay more attention to the history existing in non-script vehicle. Meanwhile, space, landscape, body, behavior, and memory are also the carrier of history.
