Abstract

Missiologists have given considerable attention to honor and shame (to a lesser extent, guilt and innocence, fear and power, individualism versus collectivism, and power distance) and have neglected other aspects of culture. Because of this neglect, many have an unbalanced perspective of culture. The discipline of Culturology provides a more balanced view of culture (while also capturing the aspects mentioned above). This article explores some of the often neglected “players” of Culturology: monumentalism versus flexibility, long-term versus short-term orientation, self-stability versus self-adaptability, assertion versus the Middle Way, and absolutist versus dialectical beliefs. This work also discusses the well-known players (honor and shame, individualism versus collectivism, etc.) to provide a contrast. The conclusion of this article has suggestions to help mission practitioners apply more cultural aspects in their ministries and have a better balanced cultural perspective.
荣誉和耻辱固然重要,但并不是城里唯一的游戏:来自文化学的玩家
传道学者对荣辱(其次是罪与非罪、恐惧与权力、个人主义与集体主义以及权力距离)给予了相当大的关注,却忽视了文化的其他方面。由于这种忽视,许多人对文化的认识是不平衡的。文化学这门学科提供了一种更为平衡的文化视角(同时也捕捉到了上述方面)。本文探讨了文化学中一些经常被忽视的 "角色":纪念主义与灵活性、长期取向与短期取向、自我稳定与自我适应、主张与中庸之道、绝对主义与辩证信仰。作品还讨论了众所周知的角色(荣辱观、个人主义与集体主义等),以提供对比。本文的结论部分提出了一些建议,帮助宣教士在他们的事工中应用更多的文化因素,并拥有更平衡的文化视角。
