摘要：

反身人群志是后现代主义思潮下的新方法，强调作者的自我反思视角，对中国人文地理学界的田野调查实践具有独特的学术价值。基于此，本文重新审视津巴布韦华人社群的田野调查，沿着空间调查和社群调查两条线索开展反身人群志研究，并提出一个人文地理研究中反身人群志的生产结构体系。研究发现：①在流行地缘政治和日常具身实践的双重影响之下，津巴布韦被建构为一个危险的地方，进而影响着研究小组与其社会网络之间形成报个平安的互动仪式；②津巴布韦华人社群是中国社会的内在他者，但在田野调查期间，研究小组也成了当地华人社区中的内在他者，双方互相凝视和理解；③人文地理学的反身人群志，需要着重回应互为主客体的研究人员和研究对象是如何共同生产出“田野”空间的，其与该空间的人地关系和人地互动又有何特征。研究推进了中国人文地理学界关于海外田野调查方法的反身性理论体系建设，有助于更好地构建中国地理学自主知识体系。

Abstract:

Reflexive ethnography represents a novel methodology within the field of postmodernism. It places particular emphasis on the author's reflexive perspective, offering a distinctive academic value about the practice of fieldwork in Chinese human geography. In light of the aforementioned significance, we re-examined the fieldwork conducted with the Chinese community in Zimbabwe. Furthermore, we developed the study of reflexive ethnography along two distinct threads, namely spatial and community surveys. Finally, we proposed a structure for producing reflexive ethnographies within the context of human geography research. ①It is found that Zimbabwe is constructed as a dangerous place under the dual influence of popular geopolitics and everyday embodied practices, which in turn influences the interactive rituals of making peace between the research team and their social network. ②The Chinese community in Zimbabwe is the inner other of the Chinese society, but the research team also becomes the inner other of the local Chinese community during the fieldwork. ③The reflexive ethnography of human geography must consider how the researcher and the interviewee, who are both subjects and objects of each other, co-produce the space of the field. It must also examine the characteristics of their relationship and interactions with the local place. The objective of promoting the construction of a reflexive theoretical system of overseas fieldwork methods in Chinese human geography is to facilitate the development of an autonomous knowledge system for Chinese geography.
