Anthropology Department, The Chinese University of Hong Kong 香港中文大學人類學系 Anthropology Department, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Anthropology was first taught at CUHK in 1973 under the Board of Studies in Sociology.

From 1977, the Anthropology Section of the Sociology Department began to offer a minor programme. Anthropology was officially established as a department in 1980, offering both major and minor programmes to undergraduates. In 1987, an M.Phil. programme in Anthropology was introduced, and in 1992 a full-fledged Ph.D. programme was started. The M.A. taught programme in Anthropology was introduced in 1998, and an M.A. in the Anthropology of Chinese Societies was introduced in 2000. The Department continues to develop new courses, to address the issues of cultural contact, ethnic conflict, and cultural identity, particularly as related to Hong Kong and the contemporary world as a whole. The Department also invites senior anthropologists of international reputation to visit the Department for seminars and to teach regular courses. Over the last several years, distinguished anthropologists who have taught in the department include Prof. Sidney W. Mintz from Johns Hopkins University, Prof. Edward M. Bruner from the University of Illinois, Professors James L. and Rubie S. Watson from Harvard University, Prof. Helen F. Siu from Yale University, and Prof. Morikawa Makio from Doshisha University in Kyoto. Each year, many distinguished anthropologists visit the department to give lectures and meet with students and faculty; in 2000-2001, these visitors came from institutions such as Harvard, the Australian National University, the University of Tokyo, the Sorbonne, Copenhagen, Stanford, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Japanese National Museum of Ethnology. Faculty and student interests cover a range of anthropological fields, from gender to economic development to ethnicity. Current faculty and student research includes cultural identity, urban neighborhoods, women and the construction of gender identity, Chinese popular religion, China's minorities, food culture in Asia, culture and tourism, and the prehistoric cultures in South China. Asia's economic development and urbanization, the increase in migration and resulting contact of different cultures, and the emergence of a global culture all point to the growing need for anthropology's cross-cultural, holistic approach to understanding human behavior. CUHK offers a particularly stimulating environment for the study of anthropology: it has a cosmopolitan department in a dynamic global city. The department is committed to comparative research that seeks to explain the enormous complexity and diversity of human life in today's world. The Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programmes in anthropology at CUHK are especially designed to use Hong Kong's advantageous geographic position and CUHK's excellent academic environment for cultivating an anthropological way of seeing and understanding the world. Through consultation with teachers, students acquire systematic training in the field and develop the ability to conduct independent research on current sociocultural issues. The programme offers annual summer field trips; recent trips have been to Japan, Inner Mongolia, Taiwan, Yunnan, and Guangxi. The programme also has collaborative research and exchange programmes with overseas universities. In addition, there is an interdisciplinary Gender Studies Programme housed in the department. Some graduates of the department choose to stay on for postgraduate studies, while others have pursued further training abroad. Many successfully enter widely varied fields of employment, including museum curating, journalism, government service, teaching, and international trade.

香港中文大學人類學系成立於一九八零年,現已發展為一個國際認可的社會文化教研中心,尤其著重研究華南、香港、臺灣、東亞和東南亞地區在快速經濟發展之中所出現的族群、區域和國家認同的問題。

一九七三年,中大開始開設人類學課程,隸屬於社會學教務委員會。一九七七年,人類學分部開始提供副修課程。人類學系於一九八零年正式設立,提供本科生主修及副修課程。一九八七年,學系開辦了人類學碩士課程(M.Phil.),並於一九九二年設立博士課程。人類學文學碩士(修讀)課程 (M.A.)於一九九八年設立。

進入二十一世紀,本系不斷發展新課程,探討文化接觸、族群衝突以及身份認同等與香港社會以及全球息息相關的課題。本系經常邀請國際知名的資深人類學家到本系執教或主持座談會,如約翰.霍普金斯大學Sidney W. Mintz 教授、伊利諾大學Edward M. Bruner 教授、哈佛大學James L. Watson 教授和Rubie S. Watson教授、及澳洲國立大學Andrew Kipnis教授等。近年,任教本系暑期課程的包括三藩市州立大學的Bernard Wong 教授及華盛頓大學的Ann Anagnost教授。

每年亦有不少傑出的人類學者到訪本系,與師生進行學術交流及演講。多年來,本系接待的到訪學者來自不同院校與研究所,當中包括哈佛大學、澳洲國立大學、東京大學、巴黎大學、哥本哈根大學、史丹福大學、加州大學聖塔芭芭拉分校、倫敦大學、匹茲堡大學、大阪大學、北京大學、清華大學、中國社會科學院、美國自然歷史博物館及日本國立民族學博物館等。

本系老師和學生的興趣涵蓋多個人類學領域,從性別、經濟發展到族群性等,而目前的研究課題包括文化認同、環境問題、婦女與性別認同的建構、中國民間宗教、中國少數民族、亞洲飲食文化,文化與旅遊,及華南地區的史前文化等。

「我本科在中大攻讀中國語言研究及中國語文教育雙學位課程,雙副修人類學及文化承傳學。這樣的組合起看來叫人疲於奔命,但我樂於走進不同的田野,尋找教書以外、教育的不同可能。

「二年級時,機緣巧合下我選讀了黃慧怡教授的Museums and Anthropology,當中提及不同形式的實體教學、跨領域的敘事手法和互動,讓我開始想像:知識除了透過文字和課堂,還可以怎樣被分享和理解?我心裡埋下了公眾教育的種子。及後,在 Humans and Culture 一科中,Prof. Matthew West 讓我們構思並實踐一個 Norm Violation Project,透過打破日常規範,追問那些習以為常的事。有交換生選擇站在電梯左側;我則在忙碌的上課天穿上沒有校徽的白恤衫和蘇格蘭裙、打上領呔,穿梭校園上課再於晚間返回書院。我好奇別人的好奇,追問『點解你覺得呢套係校服?』這段經驗也讓我開始思考:在正規課堂裡外,我們又如何在日常的互動、眼光和反應之中,學會理解世界、辨認自己和別人?這也許是我熱衷於研究非形式教育的啟蒙。

「在大學的庇蔭下,我嘗試把文化承傳與人類學的視角帶進文學、語言和教育研究,也因此走進不同的學術論壇。我是一個遊走於學科之間的學徒,在摸索和夾縫間中尋找自己的位置。

「畢業後,我進入學校體制工作。中小學既是我的工作場所,也是讓我不斷追問、重新認識自己與他人的田野。一次工傷意外,逼使我必須慢下來,並有了審視自身位置和所關心問題的空間。我重返中大攻讀人類學,期望能從理論中得到答案。

「我修讀了鄭詩靈教授的Anthropology of the Body, Love and Emotions,性教育一節對『愛情三角理論』的批判,讓我重新思考自己過去也曾教授的內容。當我以一套『理論』向學生解釋愛情時,它是如何被塑造和接受,又可能忽略了哪些不同的親密關係和經驗?課程中反覆討論的hierarchy、所謂的好與壞,也讓我開始反省教師的位置與權力,以及自己如何判斷學生言行。教育除了分享知識和作出引導,也需要暫緩判斷,先聆聽學生如何理解自身的經驗。

「事隔數年,我再次受教於黃慧怡教授,接續昔日因停課而中斷的香港考古學習。對當時的我而言,這也有另一層意義:我達成了復康期間訂下『能蹲下來做考古』的目標。在田野考察中,我們到訪大埔碗窯遺址、文物探知館,以及宋皇臺站的聖山遺粹展覽,重新從遺址與出土文物認識香港的歷史,也思考考古知識如何透過不同的空間與展示方式,走進公眾的日常生活。帶著這幾年對文化遺產和教育的關注和參與,我除了留意展示的內容,也更關心這些歷史如何被詮釋,又可以如何與今天生活在這座城市的人建立連結。

「除了向老師和同學學習,我也有機會把自己的想法帶進課堂。我設計了『蹟蹟復識識』桌上遊戲,希望透過遊戲讓玩家認識香港古蹟保育的現況和困難。原本,我只是想請林永昌教授在 China’s Cultural Heritage 課上,代為宣傳在書院的試玩活動。沒想到林教授不但大力支持,更邀請我為班上同學舉辦工作坊讓大家一起試玩、為遊戲提出建議。原來,一個仍在摸索中的構想,也可以被認真看待,並得到推動發展的空間。對我而言,人類學系的溫暖,就在於當你講出來時,有人願意接住你的想法,也願意幫助你把它付諸實踐。

「除了埋首課程材料,我也希望走進不同現場,實踐(驗)自己對教育和文化遺產保護的想法。我獲選參加學術論壇,發表有關學校午餐和小學生食物自主的論文,追問一個一直令我好奇的問題:吃飯明明關乎飽足與愉悅,為甚麼在學校裡,午餐時間卻伴隨著種種規範?陪學生食飯、跟老師巡樓、跟飯商姨姨搬飯,讓我在幾個星期裡,從觀察者逐漸成為暫時的「自己人」。我不再只是從教師的位置看待午餐規範,也開始看見學生如何因應同儕關係與自身需要,協商怎樣吃飯。

「這份對不同生活經驗的關注,也延伸到公眾教育與寫作之中。擔任香港文化古蹟資源中心「移動非遺」計劃的實習生時,我透過展覽與活動介紹非物質文化遺產,也從觀眾的提問和親身分享中,重新理解文化傳承與日常生活的連結,為日後的參與和實踐留下可能。

「我也在期刊發表學術論文,並於不同平台書寫藝評,嘗試以人類學的眼光連結藝術與在地經驗,尋找公眾與藝術之間的對話空間。這些課程以外的『田野』讓我逐漸明白,研究、教育與寫作並不是各自為政的工作:它們都需要走近不同的人,也讓自己在交流之中,觀照自己的理解。

「在教學時,我總會有意無意地提起 Dr. Mick Atha 在停課期間說過的一句話:『Fear the worst and hope for the best』。如今回想,這句話也像是我這些年在教育與文化工作之間摸索的提醒:看見限制,卻不因此放棄嘗試;即使未能確定結果,仍然願意把想法帶到田野,在實踐中尋找可能。

「當初重返中大,我期望透過人類學的視角尋找答案,理解人們如何在日常生活中學會規範,又如何在其中找到自己的位置。後來,這些問題也逐漸回到我自己身上:當我教學、研究或寫作時,我又如何理解別人,並為不同的經驗留下空間?從前,我在教書以外尋找教育的不同路向;現在,我也希望在每一次與人相遇之中,繼續做一個樂於觀察和感受的學習者。」

🎤 Mixed mode (In-person & Online)
💬 Keynote Speaker: Prof. Robert P. Weller (Department of Anthropology, Boston University)

Wishing to center voice and expression, its proliferation and suppression, as an anthropological problem and question, we present the theme for the 18th CUHK Anthropology Student Forum: 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒔 緘默有聲.

Voice – as something that can be absent or present, embodied or externalized, individual or collective, expressive or cacophonous – is potentially a scalable concept to reflect on the unspoken, the unspeakable and the invisible in our contemporary social, political, and experiential worlds (Dragojlovic & Samuels, 2021). Hence, we encourage submissions that attend to the omissions, elisions, and gaps manifested in a plethora of loci, ranging from "silent" non-human subjects such as ecological landscapes, multispecies entities and supernatural beings, to groups or individuals navigating silence within unequal power structures, whether migrants within global care chains, gig-economy workers, or residents of climate-vulnerable regions. We invite contributors to ask: How is silence systematically produced by institutions and mechanisms in education, healthcare, algorithms, and beyond? When do silences get broken, and when are they protected? What complex entanglements, subtle relations, and alternating rhythms exist between silence and voice (Weller, 2021)?

As we consider the silences of our interlocutors as potential modes of expression or intentionality, our own writing might also reflect silence at the methodological level. How might one work with "silent things" and "the silences within them" during ethnographic fieldwork? How do we write about silent things, and how do we "write with silences?"

In the 23 October Friday Seminar, PhD candidate Darren Tsz-Hin Fung will discuss the bus fandom among a network of visually impaired boys and men and explore how the enchantment serves as an antidote to experience of marginalization and fosters their sense of belonging to the city of Hong Kong. All interested are welcome!

Title: A Landscape of Enchantment: Visually Impaired People’s Immersion in Bus Fandom in Hong Kong
Speaker: Darren Tsz-Hin Fung (Department of Anthropology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong)
Date: Friday 23 October, 2026
Time: 1:00-2:30pm
Mode: In-person
Venue: Room 114, Humanities Building, New Asia College, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Abstract:
In Hong Kong—a city heavily dependent on public transportation, there is a fan culture revolving around buses. While many non-bus fans are perplexed by and even deride bus fans’ enthusiasm for a banal transportation technology, bus fans derive much intellectual and sensory pleasure from taking part in the activities of bus fandom. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, this talk explores how a network of visually impaired boys and men immerse themselves in this subculture. I will discuss how they steer each other into learning bus knowledge, evaluate and relish the sensations of bus rides, and participate in the subcultural activity of “bus cruise.” I will argue that the enchantment offered by buses serves as an antidote to visually impaired bus fans' experience of marginalization in other social domains and fosters their sense of belonging to the city.

Echo Yang, 香港中文大學人類學文學碩士畢業生

「本科學新聞時,我其實很享受追著問題走的過程:我接觸不同的人,進入陌生的現場,把零散的故事整理成可以被理解的事實。那時候,我很迷戀如何用自己的筆觸和鏡頭描繪『發生了什麼』。但越是接近具體的人和具體的現場,我越意識到,描述一件事,並不等於真正理解它。一個人為什麼這樣生活?為什麼同一件事情,在不同的人那裡會有完全不同的意義?這些問題慢慢吸引了我,也是我決定走進人類學的原因。

「這一年,人類學沒有給我一套更完整的答案,反而讓我越來越警惕那些看起來已經有答案的事情。它訓練我去注意那些平常不會注意的前提。

「這種感覺在Sealing的『Anthropology of the Body, Love and Emotions』的課堂上尤其明顯。我們寫自己的愛情民族誌,去觀察那些原本很少認真審視的私人經驗:親密關係裡的期待、焦慮、乃至表演。Sealing在課上讓我們回答一些看似簡單的問題——什麼是愛,什麼是好的/糟糕的性,什麼才算浪漫。真正寫下回答的時候,我才發現,這和我學新聞時很不一樣——越熟悉的東西,反而越難講述明白。因為很多所謂『自然』的感受,其實都帶著我們個人生活的痕跡,也帶著社會和文化的各種既定模式。

「後來在Teresa的『Disability and Difference』課裡,我又從另一個方向得到了相似的啟發。在期末的mini project作業中,我和同伴通過輪椅模擬,重新『走』一遍自己熟悉的校園。同樣的道路、樓梯和入口,在身體條件改變之後突然都變得陌生。原來所謂『障礙』,並不只是來自身體本身;很多限制其實是在環境中,以及環境背後默認的一種『正常』中產生的。

「這一年,我開始慢慢明白,人類學真正改變的是我看待世界的方式。它讓我意識到,即使在我自認為已經足夠謹慎的時候,我仍然是在自己的經驗和語言裡理解別人。四年的新聞訓練讓我習慣於觀察和追問,卻沒有讓我與自己身處的位置保持一定距離。

「這種意識最後也回到了人與人最日常的相處中。我的同學來自不同的地方,也處在人生非常不同的階段。我們的人生經驗和看待事情的方式相差很遠,卻在日常的相處裡慢慢熟悉起來。我過去的學生生活裡,很少真正和這麼多截然不同的人一起上課、做作業、討論一個人文學科的話題。現在回頭看,那些時刻其實比許多課堂上的概念更像人類學。因為人類學並不只是研究一個遙遠的『他者』,也要求你認真地認識那些就在你身邊、卻可能與你非常不同的人。知道我們彼此不一樣,卻仍然願意花時間去理解對方,而不是急著把差異翻譯成自己的語言。

「這一年,我也第一次這麼具體地感受到:任何一種知識生產都只能是局部的。我的理解如此,老師和同學的理解也是如此;一本嚴密的理論、一段完整的田野調查,甚至一篇優秀的民族誌,都有它所處的位置和邊界。人類學給我的,不是一套可以陳列的知識,而是一種緩慢發生的視角位移。我想,這可能是這一年留給我最重要的東西——一種對自身視角的警覺。

「這聽起來不像一種特別『積極』的收穫。但對我來說,它卻是一種很珍貴的自由。承認自己只看見了世界的一部分,反而讓我有了繼續靠近、繼續傾聽的餘地。

「而意識到局限,也並不意味著陷入虛無,更不意味著什麼都可以被解釋成『各有各的道理』。恰恰相反,它要求我對自己的判斷更加負責。

「剛開始讀人類學的時候,我也曾懷疑自己是否適合這裡。現在回頭看,那種不確定也許正是一個很好的開始。這一年,人類學沒有替我消除這種不確定,反而讓我逐漸明白:不急著確定,並不是一件壞事。

「我想,我也會繼續把這種遲疑帶得更遠一點。」

「一顆來自哈薩克阿爾泰地區的微小珠飾,正協助中大研究團隊重現近兩千年前歐亞大陸上人流、物流與思想交匯的盛況。這顆夾金箔玻璃珠出土於哈薩克東部寒冷的山區,年代約為公元三至四世紀。研究人員透過顯微化學分析,發現該玻璃珠帶有地中海玻璃製作傳統的痕跡,揭示了遠程文化交流不為人知的歷史。它從古代地中海世界到哈薩克草原,最終落腳於亞熱帶香港的顯微鏡下。這顆玻璃珠的流浪之旅,恰好說明了現代的跨地域考古學學術網絡,如何解開早期全球化交流的未解之謎。」
