空间转向的人类学意义

经典人类学更多关注少数民族或部落的文化现象,在研究内容和方法论上对于认识当代社会的借鉴意义有一定局限性,进而在学科知识领域中往往处于边缘地位,很难发挥其应有作用。近年来兴起的空间研究,在拓展人类学研究领域的同时,也存在一些无可避免的缺陷,不能为社会学研究反复揭示的阶级、阶层区隔,城市日益加剧的两极分化和现代城市病等问题的解决提供一种新的研究视角和可能性。顺应多种学科相互渗透的发展趋势,研究将从生态人类学角度对空间研究进行补充,进而探讨其对当代教育的启示及其学科意义。

Anthropological Significance of Spatial Turn

Classical anthropology took more attention on cultural phenomenon of minorities or tribal.Its research contents and methodology has certain limited reference for understanding contemporary society,and then was often marginalized in the field of academic knowledge.It is difficult to play its due role.The space research rising in recent years are existed some inevitable defects while expanded the research field.It can not provide a new research perspective and possibility for problems which the sociology study has revealed repeatedly the difference between Class and Stratum,the growing polarization of the city and modern urban disease,etc.To meet the developmental trend of multi-discipline inter infiltration,the paper give a supplementary study on space study from perspective of ecological anthropology,and then discuss its meaning for contemporary education.
