从丧礼看妇女在亲属体系中的身份归属——以山东济宁农村个案为例

Women's Identity in Chinese Kinship Revealed in Death Ritual ——a case of a village of Jining,Shandong

本文以山东一个农村的丧礼为分析对象,结合当地其他习俗,分析妇女在亲属体系中的身份归属。认为妇女在亲属体系中身份的不确定性一方面源于妇女一生中持续的的从其出生家族到其丈夫家族的身份转换过程;另一方面源于她在丈夫家族身份的确认是非天赋的,受其他很多机动因素的影响。

Through analyzing death ritual and other local customs in a village in Shangdong province, this paper aims to deepen the research on women's identity in Chinese kinship. This paper argues that the uncertain identity of women in kinship can be explored from two aspects. One is that women experience a life-lasting transformation process, which shifts their identity from women's natal family to their husband's family. The other is that the construction of women's identity in their husband's family is shaped by many emergent factors ___rather than inherently defined.
