“genealogy”的概念、定义、翻译、参考文献-科学参考

genealogy

Internet

The process of researching information about ancestors. The World Wide Web contains a large number of genealogical sites and has provided a huge fillip to what was once an activity that was carried out by a very small number of people who would physically visit archives.

Geography

1 The study of family history; see Nash (2002) Env. & Plan. D 20 (1) 27, who observes that ‘genealogy can serve to anchor and protect exclusive national cultures’.
2 The history of systems of thought; the history of those structures within society that ‘have produced and shaped the boundaries of knowledge, ideas, truths, representations, and discursive formations in different historical periods’ (Crowley in R. Kitchin and N. Thrift 2009). S. Aitken and G. Valentine (2006), p.15 throw light on this concept: in geography ‘professional organizations may privilege or reinforce particular fashionable ways of thinking, but there are always dissenting voices. In reality, most ways of knowing are partial or in flux’.

Philosophy

A term particularly associated with Nietzsche, occurring in the title of his book The Genealogy of Morals. Genealogy is part historical reconstruction of the way certain concepts have come to have the shape they do, and part a ‘rational reconstruction’ or story about the function they serve, which may or may not correspond to historical evolution. In the hands of Nietzsche himself, and those influenced by him such as Foucault, genealogies tend to be subversive and destructive, undermining any attachment to the concepts they consider. But similar stories surrounding the evolution of law or society, conventions and other institutions, may be quite reassuring, highlighting the adaptive functions such developments have served.
