| book description |

This book is based on the author's work concerning the academic mission of anthropology, the discipline's way of reasoning and how it reflects on the global system. The content is divided into four parts: ""Disciplinary Construction and Academic Self-Consciousness,"" ""Self-Portrait of Society and Culture,"" ""Applied Anthropology and the Confusion of Development,"" and ""Globalization and Local Society.""  Adopting a broad and far-reaching perspective, the book effectively identifies the academic tradition of anthropology and its development in the present time between text, context and field. In particular, the author emphasizes the academic idea of combining ethnographic and regional studies in anthropology and elevates it to the cross-border regional social system in order to consider the development of modern society, such as cross-border, globalization, Silk Road and other hot academic topics. As such, the book is a concrete expression of anthropological academic self-awareness and reflects the author's unique perspective on academic innovation. This book actively contributes to the further development of Chinese anthropology in the context of globalization.
