【正文】 e role of children, is seen within the munities they study, rather than how it fits into Western ideas about childhood. By doing this they seek to avoid imposing outside ideas onto people with very different understandings of the world or of making value judgments on other people39。s ways of raising their children. While Westerners might take exception to eight yearold girls working or to 12yearold girls marrying, within their own munities such activities are seen as a normal and positive part of childhood. Indeed, seenthrough the eyes of nonWesterners, many normal“ Western childcare practices are seen as extremely bizarre and possibly harmful to children. Placing children in rooms of their own, refusing to feed them on demand, or letting them cry rather than immediately tending to them, are viewed very negatively in many societies and lead some to think that Westerners don39。t know how to look after children properly. 社會(huì)人類(lèi)學(xué)家探尋的是在他們所研究的族群里人們是如何看待童年，以及兒童扮演的角色問(wèn)題，而不是研究那些地區(qū)的童年觀是否符合西方的觀念。他們這么做是為了避免把外界的觀念強(qiáng)加給那些持不同世界觀的人身上，或者是為了避免對(duì)其他民族養(yǎng)育孩子的方式作價(jià)值觀方面的判斷。西方人可能會(huì)反對(duì)八歲的女孩兒打工，反對(duì)12歲的女孩結(jié)婚，但在他們自己的族群里，這些事情被視為童年生活的一個(gè)積極的常態(tài)。的確，在非西方人看來(lái)，許多“正常的”西方育兒方式極其怪異，可能對(duì)孩子是有害的。讓孩子在自己的屋里呆著，想吃東西的時(shí)候不給他們吃，或者任由他們哭鬧而不趕快去安撫他們，這些在很多社會(huì)里都是不對(duì)的事情，會(huì)讓人覺(jué)得西方人根本不懂得如何照看孩子。11 Childhood is a changing social phenomenon, of continual fascination and concern. Looking at it from a crosscultural perspective shows the wide variety of childhoods that exist across the world and warns against interfering in or criticizing people whose lives, and understandings of the world, are very different to our own. All societies recognize that children are different to adults and have particular qualities and needs。 what anthropologists and other social scientists are interested in are the ideas that each society has about the nature of childhood and the impact these views have on children39。s lives. 童年是一種處于變化之中的社會(huì)現(xiàn)象，具有持續(xù)的吸引力，并且不斷受到關(guān)注。從跨文化角度來(lái)看待這個(gè)問(wèn)題能展示出世界上各種各樣的童年生活，并警示我們不要隨意干涉或指責(zé)那些生活方式及世界觀跟我們不一樣的人。所有的社會(huì)都承認(rèn)兒童和成年人是不同的，他們有自己獨(dú)特的品性和需求；人類(lèi)學(xué)家和社會(huì)科學(xué)家感興趣的是每個(gè)社會(huì)對(duì)兒童的天性都有什么樣的看法，以及這些看法又如何影響兒童的生活。5
