环境、族群与文化——依山依水族群文化与社会发展研讨会主题讲演

所谓“依山依水”的研讨不是一种地理环境决定论的观点 ,而是要把它看成是人如何利用文化与环境调适互动的系统机制去探讨。在思考人与自然的关系时 ,人类学家要思考人与文化的关系 ,特别是文化怎样在人与环境之间互动 ,进而影响各族群的生计方式、社会组织和宗教信仰等等而形成体系的过程。

Environment,ethnic group and culture

The way of life nationalities that depend on mountains and waters is not determined by geography, but rather by systems formed through cultural interactions. In considering the relationship between man and nature, anthropologists need to consider more about the relationship between man and culture, especially how the culture interacts with man and environment, as well as how the culture affects social organization and religious relationship in each ethnic group.
