摘要
本文描述了人类学中人体运动研究的一个范式转变:从行为的观察主义视角,转变为以身体运动作为动态呈现行为的观念。在概述了这类研究的范围之后,本文批判性地审视了人类学研究相对忽视身体运动的历史,并将其置于更广泛的社会和文化理论背景中探寻原因。作为学术综述,本文将早期的方法,如身势学(kinesics)和空间关系学(proxemics);以及最近的理论和方法,如语义学(semasiology)和动作符号(action sign)的概念联系起来,并描述了语言人类学和认知人类学的交叉发展。一种整体性的“人体运动人类学”(anthropology of human movement)的出现,提出了新的研究问题,需要新的理论资源,而理论上的见解对研究人员提出了新的方法要求。如录像带和丰富的转录系统,后者的例子说明媒介素养在分析中的优势。
This review describes a paradigmatic shift in anthropological studies of human movement,from an observationist view of behavior to a conception of body movement as dynamically embodied action.After outlining the scope of such study,historical and cultural reasons for the relative neglect of body movement in anthropological enquiry are examined critically and placed in the wider context of recent social and cultural theorizing about the body and the problem of dynamic embodiment.A historical overview situates earlier approaches,such as kinesics and proxemics,in relation to more recent developments in theory and method,such as those offered by semasiology and the concept of the“action sign”.Overlapping interests with linguistic and cognitive anthropology are described.The emergence of a holistic“anthropology of human movement”has raised new research questions that require new resources.Theoretical insights have challenged researchers to devise new methods and to adopt or devise new technologies,such as videotape and an adequate transcription systems.An example of the latter illustrates the analytic advantages of literacy in the medium.
