From the 1970s to the 1980s, Western scholars continued to explore the value of Marxism in Ethnic Studies, seeking to construct a theoretical system of Marxist ethnology. The influence of Marxism on ethnology and related research is not only manifested in the philosophical level such as materialism, but also in important analytical frameworks such as “class”, “ideology” and “mode of production”. Among them, the “mode of production”, as Marx’s abstraction of the various forms of production activities in human society, is explicitly emphasized as the object of study in his seminal work Capital. Theories relating to “mode of production” were applied in the historical survey of ethnic minorities in the 1950s, and later in the study of socio-economic formations, thereby accumulating a valuable experience in Chinese ethnological research.

摘要

From the 1970s to the 1980s, Western scholars continued to explore the value of Marxism in Ethnic Studies, seeking to construct a theoretical system of Marxist ethnology. The influence of Marxism on ethnology and related research is not only manifested in the philosophical level such as materialism, but also in important analytical frameworks such as “class”, “ideology” and “mode of production”. Among them, the “mode of production”, as Marx’s abstraction of the various forms of production activities in human society, is explicitly emphasized as the object of study in his seminal work Capital. Theories relating to “mode of production” were applied in the historical survey of ethnic minorities in the 1950s, and later in the study of socio-economic formations, thereby accumulating a valuable experience in Chinese ethnological research.
