货币的有关经济人类学解读

货币作为现代经济运行的基石,其作用和意义毋庸置疑。然而,如果我们从货币的诞生、使用和发展这一个大的范围来看,就可以发现货币带给我们的思考应该是多方面的、多层次的。经济人类学最独特和最有价值的部分是它的研究视角——从人类学的角度去研究分析人们的经济行为与经济生活。所以,经济人类学对货币的看法和研究,或许会给我们观察现代经济带来某些启迪。     

Scalable sociality and “How the world changed social media”: conversation with Daniel Miller

Daniel Miller is Professor of Material Culture at University College London. His prolific work in consumption studies, material culture studies and, more recently, digital anthropology has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of consumption, markets and culture. Miller is currently in the midst of a five-year European Research Council grant titled, Social Network Sites and Social Science, which funds the Global Social Media Impact Study. Developing concepts such as scalable sociality and understandings of “Why We Post,” anthropologists in nine locations around the world have conducted ethnographies, each of 15 months, focusing on everyday social media use in relation to issues of migration, family, politics, education, and commerce, as well as, on the ways in which genres of content flow through different platforms. The project's output includes 11 scholarly books, the launch of the Why We Post website, and an online university course, all of which are open access and have creative commons license. Miller is a Fellow of the British Academy and has won the Royal Anthropological Institute's Rivers Memorial Prize, given in past years to such luminaries as Bronislaw Malinowski, E. E. Evans-Pritchard, and Mary Douglas. This interview took place in London, 19 October 2015.     

文化人类学在国际旅游市场中的应用——以日本旅华市场为例

旅游与人类学及其在中国的实践——来自中外学者的对话

文章指出,在当今世界,各学科都具有跨学科的特点。旅游人类学也如此。人类学与旅游学之间的关系不存在学科独立的问题,而应该是互补关系。人类学介入旅游研究已成为必然。唯有如此,旅游学才有更广阔的发展前景。     

赛博格人类学:信息时代的“控制论有机体”隐喻与智识生产

本文试图通过分析赛博格之概念,为中国文化人类学提起一种虽有关联但不同于互联网人类学等应用研究,主要聚焦信息社会人之主体性重构的范式转换的人类学研究。"赛博格"意译为"控制论有机体",最早是针对宇航员太空生存问题而提出的技术概念,后经挪用而成为一个本体论隐喻。在原理上,赛博格模糊人机二分边界并引发人之主体性反思的根源来自于控制论,即将人理解为信息收发处理终端或信息网络节点。在呈现上,赛博格多呈现为人与物组装拼接而形成的开放结点及联通网络。赛博格隐喻射程之功直至关涉智识生产的范式转换,本文提起中国语境的全球赛博格人类学议题,试述当代赛博格人类学范式之人机主体性的本体论思考与知识论、方法论探索,以及自觉于此的信息化时代之新范式民族志研究。     

Rigor in Economics means Pluralism

Abstract

The two books under review could not be more different in terms of their main subject matter and writing style, but their central message is exactly the same: only a pluralist economics is scientifically rigorous and explanatorily honest and fruitful. Both books underpin this important point in their own ways. While Fullbrook draws on a wide range of history of thought in economics, philosophy and the sciences, his epistemological argument is relatively easy to grasp and full of catch phrases. Marchionatti and Cedrini on the other hand review the century long methodological dispute between economists and economic anthropologists. Their treatment of these debates is very detailed. So, it can be a bit of a struggle at times to follow the intricacies of the defensive arguments used by anthropologists in their battles against imperial attacks by economists. However, by providing an outline of the basic arguments at the start and a concluding summary at the end of most of their chapters the authors make these debates very comprehensive while offering a very thorough historical comparative overview of economic imperialism and the defences of its anthropological opponents. In critiquing its philosophical foundation, Fullbrook argues convincingly that the mainstream narrative in economics is ideologically biased and conceptually too narrow to investigate economic behaviour based on social bonds, inter-subjectivity and real freedom. To allow for such analysis, he concludes, we will need to move towards true pluralism of methods in economics.     

阿奎那人学思想的理论特色与人的全面发展

托马斯·阿奎那以强调人的"统一性"为特色的人学思想,为我们展现了一个全整的人、个体的人、在现实中超越自身的人,是西方人学发展的重要成果,它反映了欧洲向现代社会转型的时代潮流,不仅对后世人学思想的发展产生了十分重要而久远的影响,而且对于我们深刻理解人的全面发展问题也具有十分重要的理论价值。     

多维视野中的"一孔之见"--答朱宗震先生

朱宗震先生对拙著《近代江南乡村地权的历史人类学研究》的批评，主要集中在两点，一是说理论追求太过完美，以致经验研究相对单薄；二是在方法论层面有“盲目排斥百家、独尊人类学一术”之嫌。我承认我的研究确实存在朱先生所说的第一点缺陷，但也可以解释成学术创新的努力目标未能在实证研究中得到全面落实。至于第二点，我恰恰是开放式地吸收社会史、经济史、政治史、文化史和法律史等多学科的方法论，而不是狭隘地目守人类学学科本位。
