研究

[编辑]

主要成就在于对于摩洛哥印尼包括爪哇巴厘岛等地的社会文化作了深入的田野调查研究,并以此为基础,对文化、知识的性质提出新的看法。在他最重要的著作之一《文化的诠释》中,他对于文化概念的深入探讨和诠释,包括如深刻写描等概念,其影响超出人类学,而及于社会学文化史文化研究等方面。此外在另一部重要著作《地方知识》中,以实例来深入探讨人类学对于个别地区的研究所获得的种种知识,有其如何的意义。

文化概念

[编辑]

《文化的诠释》的首篇文章《深描》开宗明义的指出整本书的目的,以及他心目中的人类学研究。

他的目的简单的说是要更加精确的定义“文化”这个概念。他采取的是一符号学的取向,认为文化是人自己织出并居于其中的“意义之网”(引用德国社会学家马克斯·韦伯语)。而人类学的工作便是要找出这些“意义之网”究竟是什么。至于人类学家是怎么做到这一点,他引用英国哲学家吉尔伯特·赖尔著名的短语:“深描”(thick description)。想像一个男孩正为了向他的同伴暗示些什么,而不停的挤眉弄眼;另一个男孩走进来,看到这一幕,便开始模仿起来,甚至还带有点玩笑意味。我们怎么知道这两个动作事实上是不一样的动作?

对他而言,如果我们是紧紧遵守行为主义的教条,换言之仅观察行为本身,我们可能没有办法区辨这两个动作哪里不同。毕竟,他们都不过是眨眼的动作罢了。但关键就在这里,我们之所以能够知道这两个动作不一样,就在于我们掌握了这两个男孩-行动者-的意图(intention;或另一个格尔茨喜欢的短语:what they are up to)。其中一个正运用了“挤眉弄眼”这一有特定意义结构支撑的行动在传递某些想法、意图;而另一个仅仅是单纯的模仿。
