Historical Anthropology Research

Historical anthropology is the combination of historiography and anthropology. For historians, historical anthropology is a research approach and research trend: it adopts anthropology’s field research methods, and emphasizes the historicity of the research subject; it tries to keep a distance from the research subject, and makes every effort to collect materials directly from the field. On this basis, it forms a research trend stressing time and process as well as space and structure; attaching importance to the analysis, examination, selection and interpretation of historical data; emphasizing “participatory experience” and a sense of historical presence, and also stressing the analysis of the different expressions of all classes and organizations.
