田野工作是人文社會科學重要的研究方法。從業者背起行囊趕赴鄉村,是對本土知識和民間智慧的問詢,也是對自我生活世界的追問。因此,跨越了技術層面的田野工作,不僅是一門有關學術研究的藝術,更是一種心靈的修煉。在這個由經驗和情感累積的過程中,行動者既有仰望星空時人與自然之間的會心交流,也有人與人之間相互依存的溫暖與力量。

Fieldwork is an important research method for humanities and social sciences.When the fieldworker shoulders his package and leaves for the rural area,he is going to inquire about the indigenous knowledge and local wisdom.In the mean time,he also explores the world in which he is living.Therefore,the fieldwork that has transcended the technological aspect,is not only an art of academic research,but moreover,a cultivation of mindset.During this process,accumulated by experiences and feelings,the actor has time to look up into the night stars for a hearty communication with nature;simultaneously,he also gets the warmth and strength coming from the interdependence among his human counterparts.
