讲座内容简介:
This study explores the locations ofethnic businesses at the early settlement stage of Korean immigrants inToronto. Data are drawn from three sources: 2001 Canadian census, 2000business directories for Toronto and York Region (a suburban area north ofToronto), and Toronto assessment roll (property tax) records. We addresstwo related questions: How is ethnic business clustering related toneighborhood characteristics in the early settlement stage of a group? How did ethnic business clustering occur in the early settlement stage of agroup? We found that only the proportion of Koreans in the tracts and theproportion of Korean businesses in neighboring tracts are consistently relatedto the number of Korean businesses in tracts. In addition, Koreanownership of the properties is a key factor in understanding how ethnicbusinesses clustered at the beginning of Korean settlement in Toronto. Korean owners divided their buildings into smaller units that they rented totheir co-ethnic members. Taken together, our findings suggest a dualprocess of having ecological symbiotic relations with co-ethnic population and acquiringreal estates by Koreans has shaped the clustering of ethnic businesses in theearly settlement stage of Koreans in Toronto.

内容简介:
经验研究与理论探索之关系何在?这不仅仅是人类学而且也是社会学经济学等等诸多社会科学学科都会碰到的问题。具体的经验研究想要回应什么样的理论问题?怎样回应才有意义?这些问题是具体经验研究所无法回避的。本讲座以人类学家本尼迪克特为例,以美国战后借鉴欧洲理论为背景,讲述当年人类学教育普及以及学术市场化状态下出现的一系列问题,并以此警示我们今天社会科学研究中对欧美理论的盲目借用。经验科学研究的具体性与理论思考的系谱性之间有何关系?我们今天的应用学科如何回应社会理论问题?人类学怎样做田野才能做出理论味道?这些是我们想要探讨的问题。
