現階段客家學的定位:從方法論的角度探討

On Hakkaology from Methodology

客家研究不是臺灣特有的產物。在馬來西亞、新加坡、香港與中國已有相關的學者專家進行不同領域的研究。這些地方也是客家人較多與影響較明顯的地方。這些不同地方的客家研究，各有其特色與取向。本文試圖從方法論的角度探討現階段客家學的定位，這個問題的回應就是本文的重點。從檢視過去的客家研究，它到底有沒有一個獨立清晰的方法論，從此論述出客家學與客家研究的可能定位。如此，從為什麼會有客家研究與晚近客家學的倡導，這兩個主題中來找尋客家學的方法論。透過實際的與經驗的考察來檢視客家學有無獨立清晰明確的方法論。最後確立出現階段的客家學沒有獨立與清晰的方法論，同時對於客家學與客家研究做出可能的定位與回應，並對於未來的客家學做出建言。
