本文认为 ,在迈向 2 1世纪的时候 ,在美国 ,随着政府支持的减少和越来越依赖于私人化的资本主义企业 ,纯学术的人类学将越来越缺乏竞争力。要改变人类学的边缘地位 ,在很大程度上依赖人类学者为社会所作的贡献。人类学在保留其内省和创造性的多元化、非偶像性的思维和深奥的学术等特征外 ,更会成为处理跨民族而又有共同基础的人文挑战的领导因素。文章呼吁人类学家要参与并领导那些超越人类学的学术计划 ,走出去进行超越本学科的思想交流 ,发展对世界有贡献的领域 ,如对全球性和地区性的自然史以及人类进化和物质文化的史前史进行准确的概括 ,参与制定相关的人文政策 ,参与领导跨学科研究及公共服务事业 ,参与处理人类面临的诸如性、生态、政治、经济、宗教等重大问题 ,参与文学和电影创作等。
This article argues that purely academic anthropology will become less and less competitive as it approaches the 21st century in the United States, with the decline of government support and the increasing reliance on privatized capitalist enterprises. To change the marginalization of anthropology depends largely on the contribution that anthropologists make to society. Anthropology, in addition to its introspective and creative pluralism, non-idol thinking and esoteric academic features, will even become the leading factor in addressing the humanistic challenge that crosses nationalities and has a common basis. The article calls for anthropologists to take part in and lead academic programs that go beyond anthropology, to go out and exchange ideas that transcend the subject, and to develop areas that contribute to the world, such as global and regional natural history and human evolution and matter Cultural prehistoric history accurately summarized, involved in the formulation of relevant cultural policies, participation in leading interdisciplinary research and public service undertaking, participate in handling humanity such as sexual, ecological, political, economic, religious and other major issues involved in the creation of literature and cinema Wait.
