克里弗德·紀爾茲(英語:Clifford Geertz,1926年8月23日—2006年10月30日),美國文化人类学家,象徵人類學代表人物。知名著作有《文化的詮釋》、《劇場國家》、《地方知識》、《农业的内卷化:印度尼西亚生态变迁的过程》等。

生平

Antioch College哈佛大学,于1956年取得博士学位。之后历任加州大学柏克萊分校芝加哥大学普林斯顿高等研究院

研究

主要成就在於對於摩洛哥印尼包括爪哇峇里島等地的社會文化作了深入的田野調查研究,並以此為基礎,對文化、知識的性質提出新的看法。在他最重要的著作之一《文化的詮釋》中,他對於文化概念的深入探討和詮釋,包括如深刻寫描等概念,其影響超出人類學,而及於社會學文化史文化研究等方面。此外在另一部重要著作《地方知識》中,以實例來深入探討人類學對於個別地區的研究所獲得的種種知識,有其如何的意義。

文化概念

《文化的詮釋》的首篇文章《深描》開宗明義的指出整本書的目的,以及他心目中的人類學研究。

他的目的簡單的說是要更加精確的定義「文化」這個概念。他採取的是一符號學的取向,認為文化是人自己織出並居於其中的「意義之網」(引用德國社會學家马克斯·韦伯語)。而人類學的工作便是要找出這些「意義之網」究竟是什麼。至於人類學家是怎麼做到這一點,他引用英國哲學家吉尔伯特·赖尔著名的短語:「深描」(thick description)。想像一個男孩正為了向他的同伴暗示些什麼,而不停的擠眉弄眼;另一個男孩走進來,看到這一幕,便開始模仿起來,甚至還帶有點玩笑意味。我們怎麼知道這兩個動作事實上是不一樣的動作?

對他而言,如果我們是緊緊遵守行為主義的教條,換言之僅觀察行為本身,我們可能沒有辦法區辨這兩個動作哪裡不同。畢竟,他們都不過是眨眼的動作罷了。但關鍵就在這裡,我們之所以能夠知道這兩個動作不一樣,就在於我們掌握了這兩個男孩-行動者-的意圖(intention;或另一個格爾茨喜歡的短語:what they are up to)。其中一個正運用了「擠眉弄眼」這一有特定意義結構支撐的行動在傳遞某些想法、意圖;而另一個僅僅是單純的模仿。
