Tóm tắt

This article generalizes the role of anthropology in development in mainland China over the past decade. According to the author, anthropology in the mainland has an interrupted period of development: it enjoyed a period of expansion in the 1930s and the 1940s; then it repressed as a “bourgeois subject” between the 1960s and most of the 1970s; and it had a sign of the rehabilitation in the early 1980s; then once again it went through a critical time between the late 1980s and the mid-1990s; and it has enjoyed a more continuous and prosperous period of development since the mid-1990s till now. In the past decade, along with the extension of its “sphere of influence”, anthropology in the mainland has made significant progresses in the following aspects: teaching, research, publications and journals, seminars and conferences. However, in the face of “rapidly accomplished” development of anthropology that possibly gives a signal of sufficient knowledge accumulation needed to set good foundation for its own construction, the author is thus anxious about the long-term, useful and popular development of this principle.
