日常生活:民族学研究的新领域

日常生活既是认识民族社会的入口,也是民族社会理论产生的本源。以列费伏尔和赫勒为代表的西方日常生活批判理论家把日常生活作为现代性的表征来讨论,中国语境下的日常生活研究除了继承西方这一哲学传统之外,在历史、社会学、教育学等学科领域也有所扩展。相比之下,民族学现有的日常生活研究内容较为庞杂、分散,缺乏系统的理论方法,很多有意义的日常生活议题尚待进一步拓展研究。

Everyday Life:A New Realm of Ethnology

Everyday life is not only the entrance to the understanding of ethnological societies,but also the resource of ethnological theories.Western critical theorists of the everyday life,represented by Henri Lefebvre and Agnes Heller, considers it to be the characteristics of modernity.And in the background of China,the study of everyday life has expanded its influence into the subjects of history,sociology,education and so on.To compare with it,the study of everyday life in ethnology in China is more immethodical and is lack of systematical theories and methods.There are still many significant topics on everyday life for further discussion in the perspective of ethnology.
