摘要
以英国为主的社会人类学对非洲亲属制度研究的诸多理论,在进入东亚社会后,需要结合其自身的社会结构特点进行修正和讨论。东亚的人类学者应该首先立足自身,发现自己,而不应该完全沉溺于西方的话语体系之中。当然,这不是固步自封,而是一个东方和西方之间有选择的对话过程,这种对话在亲属制度的研究领域就是一个普遍与特殊的内在互动过程。
This article argues that the British social anthropology theories on African clan system needs to be studied and revised according to the actual society structures when introducing them to East Asian societies. By studying the research of clan as ＂social traditions＂ and ＂cultural traditions＂, the concept of ＂clan＂ in folk-custom biology and sociology, the concept＇s expanding in sociology, and the keywords in Chinese and Japanese clan systems, the author argues that anthropologists in East Asia should discover themselves in the first stance, rather than addicting to western academic systems. It is definitely not stuffy but a selective conversational process between east and west. This conversation in the clan system research is an internal mutual action process between universality and specialty.
