摘要:公共人类学的知识和成果要面向社会公众,民族志写作要做到思想是深刻的,但表达却是通俗的,并借助大众媒介传播人类学知识、主张和观点,使民族志成为跨专业的乃至公众的读物。公共人类学是“为公众思考”的人类学,应带着强烈的公共关怀意识,站在民众的立场服务于社会公众,为社会大众的福祉进行呼吁和辩护。公共人类学将公共领域作为一个“新的研究对象”予以常规化,其田野调查点不再局限于传统的小社区或村落,可以是现代社会中随处可见的公共场所。公共人类学家参与公共事务的角色不仅仅是提出忠告或建议,应从麻烦解决者转变为决策者,从参与者转变为管理者。公共人类学研究者应该成为公共知识分子的一部分,要有强烈的社会责任和道德担当意识,不仅要传播人类学知识、文化多样性知识,而且要充分利用学科优势和专业知识,引领新时代的价值观念,对人类的前途命运抱有终极关怀。

Abstract: It is hoped that the knowledge and achievements of public anthropology should be publicized,that the ethnography should be written with profound thoughts yet expressed in a popular way so that it may become a cross-discipline and even public reading material with the help of mass media.Public anthropology is one that thinks for the public,thus it should possess a strong sense of public concern,serving the public,appealing and defending for public interest.Taking public field as a normalized new research subject,public anthropology will no longer limit its field investigation to traditional small societies or villages;instead,it can be any public field in modern society.Public anthropologists should not only put forward suggestions,rather they should turn their identity from a trouble-solver to a decision-maker,and from a participant to an administrator.Researchers of public anthropology should become part of public intellectuals.With strong social and moral responsibilities,they should not only spread knowledge of anthropology and cultural diversity,but also make full use of their professional knowledge to guide values in the new era,showing their great concern to human destiny.

Key words: public anthropology, public, public field, public issues, public affairs, public intellectuals
