Abstract

Abstract This article* situates folklore studies in relation to the approach to social research known as world-systems analysis. In doing so, the work also serves as an evocation of world-systems analysis of potential usefulness for the practice of folklore research and for further thinking about the articulation of the field with others in the human or social sciences. Even if folklorists choose not to embrace a world-systems framework, it is valuable to position folklore studies within the matrix of social science disciplines that this perspective sees as important to the rise of the modern capitalist world-system. This positioning relates to interpretations of world history, but also to debates about the future status of the disciplines. While world-systems analysis is only one among several approaches to exploring the human experience in broad greater-than-local contexts, it offers a useful instance for a larger effort to work out more far-reaching modes of work in folkloristics.
走向更广阔的框架:世界体系分析与民俗学研究
摘要本文*将民俗学研究与被称为世界体系分析的社会研究方法联系起来。在这样做的过程中,这项工作还可以唤起世界系统分析的潜在用途,用于民俗学研究的实践,并进一步思考该领域与人类或社会科学中的其他领域的联系。即使民俗学家选择不接受世界体系框架,将民俗学研究置于社会科学学科的矩阵中也是有价值的,这种观点认为民俗学研究对现代资本主义世界体系的兴起很重要。这种定位关系到对世界历史的解释,也关系到对学科未来地位的争论。虽然世界体系分析只是在比当地更广泛的背景下探索人类经验的几种方法之一,但它为在民俗学中制定更深远的工作模式的更大努力提供了一个有用的实例。
