项目摘要

9634211 Dunn This Dissertation Improvement research deals with the privileged status of the scientific observer, which for the most part goes unrecognized when the researcher is preoccupied with using aggregate data. The uniqueness of the project is to study one small world-system at the moment of it's incorporation into an expanding larger one through the eyes of explorers. The small world-system of the ancient Hawaiian archipelago before that system was transformed and incorporated in to the modern world-system in the early nineteenth century will be examined. This will be accomplished through studying the relative validity of different kinds of data and using these data to make inferences about structural positions of different polities within the Hawaiian world-system. The general hypothesis being tested is that what is "known" about the social complexity of Hawaii at the turn of 19th century did not arise from observation of facts alone, but the perceptions of the explorers were shaped by social and historical circumstances. The data for this research is mainly from accounts of Russian voyagers. Through examining particular individuals' representations of events several theses of the world-system approach, e.g. concerning the interplay between more and less hierarchical neighbors will be tested. The study seemingly suggests a need to move away from broad studies of total exchange distribution to more sensitive studies of contextual based knowledge about the exchange acts. ***

9634211 Dunn 这项论文改进研究涉及科学观察者的特权地位，当研究人员全神贯注于使用汇总数据时，这种特权地位在很大程度上被忽视。该项目的独特之处在于，通过探险家的视角，研究一个小型世界体系正在融入一个不断扩大的更大世界体系。古代夏威夷群岛的小世界体系在 19 世纪初期转变并融入现代世界体系之前，我们将对其进行研究。这将通过研究不同类型数据的相对有效性并使用这些数据来推断夏威夷世界体系中不同政体的结构地位来实现。正在检验的一般假设是，关于 19 世纪之交夏威夷社会复杂性的“已知”并非仅来自对事实的观察，而是探险家的看法受到社会和历史环境的影响。这项研究的数据主要来自俄罗斯航海者的叙述。通过检查特定个人对事件的表征，世界体系方法的几个论点，例如将测试等级较高和等级较低的邻居之间的相互作用。该研究似乎表明需要从对总交换分布的广泛研究转向对交换行为的基于情境的知识进行更敏感的研究。 ***
