摘要
本文着重討論作者（與從事華南研究的同仁）過去30年主要的研究主題以及背後援引的理論工具。作者着眼民族志及歷史的研究，在為華南尋求經驗答案的同時，亦處理歷史學與人類學的分析框架及其中的學術論爭。文章涉及的關鍵概念包括：變動的對象、辯證的結構過程、能動主體、社會實踐、權力的文化語言、地方性與跨越地方性以及互聯的亞洲。在探究自我反思的田野方法之餘，也批判地閱讀歷史與文化的文本。作者及其學術夥伴以多學科的視野在全球範圍內將海洋與陸地相連接，因此，他們雖以華南作為知性之旅的始點，但所關注的問題早已超越華南，在理論和方法學上對歷史人類學進行多重的反思。
並列摘要
The article is based on a series of seminars given at Tsinghua University in September 2008. It highlights major research themes and conceptual tools I (and the South China group) have explored in the past three decades. Focusing on ethnographic and historical research, I seek empirical answers for South China and at the same time address analytical frameworks and theoretical debates in history and anthropology. Key concepts highlighted are analytical pursuit of moving targets, structuring, human agency, social practice, the cultural language of power, locality and translocality, and inter-Asian connectivity. We explore self-reflective field methods and apply critical reading to historical and cultural texts. We might have started our intellectual journeys from South China, but our concerns have taken us far beyond, connecting oceans and landmasses across the globe in multi-disciplinary terms.
