摘要
国内科技人类学是上个世纪90年代末期出现的一个新兴研究领域,近年来出现了一些理论的探讨和在这些理论指导下的个案研究。本文对学界在科技史研究要引入人类学方法和理念的倡议进行了回顾,在此基础上对已有的科技人类学的个案研究进行分析,认为国内出现的科技人类学个案研究在研究方法上重视采用人类学田野调查方法,在写作方式上采用民族志的写作方法,重视从"他者"的角度理解技术,研究的最终目的是了解科技背后隐藏的文化信息等特点,文章最后还就科技人类学的发展问题提出了粗浅的看法。
The Science-technological anthropology appeared at the end of the 1990s. Recently some theories and case studies about it have become visible. The paper reviews the proposal that experts should study technological anthropology by anthropology＇s approaches and theories arid analyzes case studies of technological anthropology. The author thus argues that case studies of technological anthropology in China emphasize field works of anthropology and word works of enthnology, understanding technology from others＇ point of views. She also thinks that the ultimate purpose is to learn about the culture information hidden behind technology. She advances some opinions of his own on the development of technological anthropology at the end of the paper.
