🗝️師生交流座談：我如何成為中國人類學的研究者？

活動簡介｜
決定如何選擇自己的職業志向和研究方向，這過程通常相當複雜。個人的家庭背景和經驗、偶然事件、有影響力的人物，以及全球大事等多種因素都會影響著這個生涯規劃。儘管我們現在嘗試消除主觀的個人因素，但美國女權運動口號中有一句「 個人即政治 」，以及社會學家韋伯的呼籲，即將「科學作為一種職業」，都表明個人因素與職業志向和研究方向之間的關係總是相互交纏的。在這次座談中，我將分享一些因素、事件和人物，它們都在引導我成為中國 #人類學研究者 的道路上扮演關鍵角色。

Description：
This lecture examines some Chinese Buddhist practices in Wenzhou that may contribute to global environmental efforts through the dissolution of the Nature-Culture ontological opposition that Bruno Latour and Philippe Descola have shown to have launched modernity. #Vegetarianism and providing animal shelters are built on a long Buddhist tradition of empathy and compassion for the suffering of sentient beings and tied in with notions of reincarnation into the Six Paths of beings. Two millennia before Donna Haraway’s call to recognize that “all earthlings are kin in the deepest sense,” Buddhist reincarnation cosmology had already set up a trans-generational ethics of kinship across the boundaries between humans and animals, and between humans and divinities. "Releasing Life" (放生) rituals represent another expression of compassion for other beings and species.
