Doctoral Dissertation Research: How Movements Materialize: The Technology and Culture of Development Anthropology

“应用社会科学”的研究太少了， 科学史 研究它需要充分的理解， 不仅是科学，而且是应用科学的文化。 在 也许没有其他领域是科学与 比应用社会科学更清楚。 勒奈特女士 在库克里克博士的指导下，舒梅克正在探索 发展人类学这一“应用”领域的发展， 殖民后期和后殖民初期的赞比亚，1945- 75. 她的目标是展示发展科学运动 在技术、工作组织和领域上形成了实质性的形式， 人类学开创性学派的实践-- “曼彻斯特学派”，以其理论进步而闻名。 她 研究遵循发展人类学通过三个重要 在它的演变阶段。 研究报告的第一部分认为， 可供人类学在中部的模式和先例 非洲环境，并显示人类学家如何谈判， 殖民地政府侵略性的 新的战后发展战略。 第二部分重点论述 挑战带来的实地做法和技术变化 城市研究，并显示如何之间的关系， 人类学家，他们的助手，和研究的主题是 被非洲民族主义的兴起所改变。 第三部分 讨论了人类学的工作文化及其对人类学的影响。 国际发展组织的工作文化。 它 还评价了人类学作为一门殖民科学， 在概念化非洲和非洲人的其他方面发挥作用， 以理工科为重

"Applied social science" have been too little studied in the history of science. To study it requires full understanding not only of the science, but of the culture in which it is applied. In perhaps no other area is the mutual interaction of science and society clearer than in the applied social sciences. Ms. Lynette Schumaker, under the direction of Dr. Kuklick, is exploring the growth of such an "applied" area, developmental anthropology, in Zambia in the late colonial and early postcolonial periods, 1945- 75. She is aiming to show how the development science movement took material shape in the technology, work organization, and field practices of a path-breaking school of anthropology--the "Manchester School," famous for its theoretical advances. Her study follows development anthropology through three important stages in its evolution. The first part of the study considers the models and precedents available to anthropology in the Central African environment, and shows how anthropologists negotiated a place for their research in the colonial governments's aggressive new post-war development strategy. The second part focuses on changes in field practices and technology created by the challenges of urban research, and shows how the relationship between anthropologists, their assistants, and the subjects of research was transformed by the rise of African nationalism. The third part discusses the work culture of anthropology and its influence on the work culture of the international development organizations. It also appraises anthropology as a colonial science and the role it played in conceptualizing Africa and Africans for the other sciences.
