Imaginary Reality:Reflection and Transcendence of American Southeast Asian Studies During the Cold War
This paper is a reflective review of the American study of Southeast Asia during the Cold War.It aims to explore the knowledge approach of current China's world ethnic studies.This article starts from the overall planning of American regional research,and makes an overview introduction of Southeast Asian research,and takes the Southeast Asian research of anthropology as an example to discuss its knowledge characteristics and knowledge defects.This article points out that the cultural,local and everyday attention constitutes the characteristics of the American anthropological research in Southeast Asia,and also enables it to reflect on the general social theory.However,behind its anthropological knowledge system,there is still the hypothesis of western centralism,and the defects of its values and methodology are obvious.The current Southeast Asian research in China should base on the historical connection between China and Southeast Asia,and the common issues faced by the"Global South"in the process of modernization,so as to realize the transcendence of the previous western knowledge system.
