文化人类学因其理论与方法的独特性,受到许多学科的运用与借鉴,客家研究便是典型。传统客家研究更多注重历史学的研究取向,人类学相对来说受到忽略。事实上,客家研究生来便与人类学结缘。从人类学视角下研究客家的多是香港、台湾与海外人类学者,大陆人类学者相对较少。人类学可以在客家研究中享有更多的话语权,人类学与客家研究结合拥有广阔的未来。
AbAnthropological theory and methods has been used widely by many disciplines for its uniqueness. But it has been neglected by Hakka studies since they pay more attention on history method. In fact, Hakka study is born with anthropology character. However, compared with the study in Hong Kong and Taiwan, anthropologists of the main land have neglected the anthropological perspective. So it is very important to think about the way to combine anthropology and Hakka. On the other hand, Anthropology should compare its own development when being used. In this condition, the author tried to explore the future of Hakka and anthropology by combining their development and their inter-relationship.
