人类学转向:新文科的跨学科引领
作者简介:叶舒宪,上海交通大学文科资深教授(上海 200240)
摘要: 新时期以来,我国新文科探索有四部先驱性著作−李泽厚《说巫史传统》、杨伯达《巫玉之光》、王振复《中国巫文化人类学》和萧兵《玄鸟之声:艺术发生学史论》。以此为例,可见文化人类学作为新兴学科给原有人文学科带来的重要学术转向引领作用,亦可见出“文化”概念对文史哲艺各原有学科视野的再整合,这些都可归结到文化人类学派对“文化文本”理论的本土化建构问题。从单一学科的具体对象“文本”,到整合性和虚拟性的“文化文本”概念的提出,可以代表改革开放四十多年来本土话语的文科理论的一个建构方向。根据人类学自身的转型和基因学的突飞猛进,文科的大转向任务尚未完成,一个更大规模的学科交叉和文理交叉的时代正在到来。

Abstract: Since the beginning of the new era, there are four pioneer works in China’s new probing of liberal arts, i.e., Tradition in History of Telling Sorcery by Li Zehou, Light of Jade in Sorcery by Yang Boda, Sorcery Culture in Chinese Anthropology by Wang Zhenfu, and Voice of Black Bird: Theory in History of Artistic Embryology by Xiao Bing. These examples reveal that cultural anthropology as a new discipline takes an important leading function in academic turn for the existing liberal arts, as well as the conception of “culture” re-organizes the existing disciplinary horizon of literature, historiography, philosophy and arts, which can be included in the issue of cultural anthropology’s vernacular construction of the theory of “cultural texts”. From “text”, the concrete object of a single discipline, to conformal and virtual “cultural texts” , the propose of the concept may represent a constructional direction for a vernacular discourse in liberal arts theories in the past forty years and more since the reform and opening-up. As for the transformation of anthropology itself and the advancement of gene theory, the task of big turn in liberal arts is yet to be completed, and the era of a larger scope interdisciplinary and liberal-arts-and-sciences cross connection is coming up.
