中国社会学和人类学的百年发展与互动

在过去的一个世纪中,中国社会学和人类学学科间形成一种特殊的互动发展关系.一方面,社会学采借了人类学的研究方法,包括田野参与观察法和比较法,并注重对小型社区的定性研究;另一方面,原本以异文化为研究旨趣的人类学则回归本土,介入了对汉民族社区特别是乡村社会的研究,二者之间因之形成一种相互交叉的局面.可以预见,进入21世纪,中国社会学和人类学的学科互动将进一步加强和深化,从而推动这两门学科的本土化发展进程.

The One Hundred Year''''s Development and Interaction Between Sociology and Anthropology in China

In the past century in China,there has been a special disciplinary interaction between sociology and anthropology.On the one hand,sociology has adopted the anthropological research method,including participant observation and comparative method,and stressing on the qualitative research on small communities.On the other hand,anthropology has transferred its research focus from other cultures to Han culture,i.e.getting involved in researching the Han communities especially the rural society.We can forecast that in the 21st century the disciplinary interaction between sociology and anthropology in China will push forward the national process of this two disciplines.
