摘要:

海外的苗族研究早期主要是殖民主义视野下的研究以及语言学方法的研究,在此期间传教士是苗族研究的重要主体,如第一部关于苗族研究的著作就是法国神父萨维纳的《苗族史》。其后,苗族研究在方法上转入人类学方法以及其他研究方法的多元化阶段,人类学家成为此一阶段苗族研究的主力军。此外,随着苗族研究的发展,苗族本民族学者也成长起来,成为自身历史的书写者与研究者。在此背景下,如何理解苗族身份认同以及苗族的历史撰写也成为一个需要认真讨论的问题。

Abstract:

The early works of overseas studies of the Miao nationality were mainly influenced by colonialism and linguistic methods. During this period, the missionaries were the majorities conducting the researches. The first work on the Miao nationality, for example, was the French priest Francois-Marie Savina's Histoire des Miao. Later, the Miao studies became more and more diversified in terms of research methods, including anthropology. Anthropologists have become the main force in this stage. In addition, with the development of the Miao studies, local Miao scholars have also grown up and become the writers and researchers of the history of their own nationality. In this setting, how to understand the identity of the Miao nationality and the writing of its history has also become a problem that needs serious discussion.

Key words: studies of the Miao nationality, anthropology, philology, overseas Miao
