作为本土知识的仪式空间--以大理喜洲为例

社会人类学家提出,行政、市场、仪式是三种形成空间的力量.笔者根据在大理喜洲的田野工作提出,虽然三种力量造成了三种社会空间,但只有仪式空间才是当地人的本土知识.行政和市场力量形成的空间因变动不定而脱离了本土社会分类,只能用客位的视角观察到.因此,在探讨空间形成力量之前,研究者应该在主位与客位的视角之间做出选择.

Sphere of Ritual Ceremony and Indigenous Knowledge--Taking Xizhou in Dali as the Example

Social anthropologists point out that administration,market and ritual ceremony are the three powers which form sphere.Based on the field work in Xizhou in Dali,this paper holds that sphere of ritual ceremony is the only indigenous knowledge of the native.The sphere formed by administration and market can only be observed by etic approach because of its mobility.Therefore the researcher should make the choice between emic and etic approaches before he makes a study of the power of forming sphere.
