项目摘要

This study aims at theorizing practice of magic such as witchcraft and sorcery and opening comparative perspectives in Southeast Asia and Oceania area. This study mainly has three problems to be investigated ; 1)to explore variation and commonality of practice of magic in Southeast Asia and Oceania, and to extend comparative perspectives with the study of magic in Europe and Africa, 2)to understand magic not as peripheral knowledge but contemporary knowledge which is between religion and scientific knowledge, and in this course, to focus on the frame of concept in the society concerned, 3)to resolve the restriction that the study of magic is reflected by the concept of magic and science in the society to which an anthropologist himself belongs, and to rethink the generation of anthropological thoughts. In the beginning, this study started with examining so-called ‘the modernity of witchcraft', which is famous theme in African study of witchcraft from the standpoint of Southeast Asian and Oceania study. However when we found ‘the modernity of witchcraft' deal with how magic and witchcraft work in a given society, the discussion shifted to true contents of the practice of magic. From the discussions for two years, basic characteristics of magic has been pointed out that switch and connect two poles of dichotomy such as knowledge/practice, tradition/modern, and science/daily life (non-science). The source of this characteristics can be based on human capacity of understandings, including ‘half understanding', for example, practice in doubt, and ‘anti understanding', practice with denial and refusal. This study concludes various type of understanding can be integrated into the practice of magic.

本研究旨在将巫术、巫术等巫术实践理论化，并在东南亚和大洋洲地区开辟比较视角。本研究主要有三个问题需要探讨; 1）探索东南亚和大洋洲魔术实践的变化和共性，并与欧洲和非洲的魔术研究进行比较，2）了解魔术不是边缘知识，而是介于宗教和科学知识之间的当代知识，在这门课程中，三是解决巫术研究受人类学家所处社会的巫术观和科学观的制约，重新思考人类学思想的生成。本研究首先从东南亚和大洋洲巫术研究的角度出发，对非洲巫术研究中的著名主题“巫术的现代性”进行考察。然而，当我们发现“巫术的现代性”涉及魔法和巫术如何在特定社会中发挥作用时，讨论转向了魔法实践的真实内容。通过两年的讨论，指出魔术的基本特征是转换和连接知识/实践、传统/现代、科学/日常生活（非科学）的两极。这一特征的根源在于人的理解能力，包括“半理解”（如怀疑的实践）和“反理解”（如否定和拒绝的实践）。本研究的结论是各种类型的理解可以融入魔术的实践。
