秩序之外的秩序——乔健的底边阶级与底边社会的思想探析

乔健提出的“底边阶级”与“底边社会”理论是中国学界讨论边缘群体研究的先声,并影响了一批学者展开相关的经验性研究。这个理论因未曾被系统性的集中阐释,其他学者所做的个案研究也未把这套理论作系统性的总结,因此,其所受到的关注与讨论不多。论文通过对“底边阶级”概念进行整体性的脉络梳理与分析,不仅展现乔健如何通过十三年的时间,不断地修正、完备此概念的思考过程。同时也认为,乔健从下而上考察传统中国文化流动的研究视角,补充过去研究只以由上而下来看中国社会文化流向的不足,对现今人类学与汉学研究具有十分重要的启示意义。

Order Beyond Order: An Analysis of Qiao Jian's Marginalized Class and Marginalized Society Theory

As a pioneering conceptual framework from a Chinese perspective in the domain of marginal group,Qiao Jian’s Marginalized Class and Marginalized Society theory triggered a large body of empirical studies.Unfortunately,however,this theory failed to gain much attention because it was neither elaborated thoroughly nor summarized systematically by case study.This study intends to present the landscape of Marginalized Class concept in a holistic way,with unfolding the thirteen-year refining process,and to lay out the importance of this theory in current anthropology and sinology researches.
