"再地方化"与象征资本——一个闽南回族社区近年来的若干建筑表现

"Relocalization" and Symbolic Capital, An Essay on Architecture of Hui Nationality in South Fujian

本文借用英国人类学者托马斯有关"再地方化"的概念,解读闽南一个回族社区近年来所出现的若干据称能"体现民族特色"的建筑。笔者认为,布尔迪厄有关"象征资本"的理论洞见可以帮助我们理解这些建筑表现。如果将这些表现当作某种象征性文本来"阅读"的话,我们发现它们有时会成为当地某些民众"迁怒"的对象,由此可以反映地方政府行为与民意之间可能存在着一定程度的"紧张",然而,这种紧张并不一定只有负面的影响。它至少可以对国家与社会之间的关系提出一种有益的警示,即:政府与民众沟通的重要性。

In this paper, the notion of 'relocalization' produced by the British anthropologist, Thomas, will be employed to interpret the new style of architecture which appeared recently in the south of Fujian and which is said to 'embody the ethnic characters' of the local Hui nationality. The author maintains that Bourdieu's insightful theory of 'symbolic capital' may help us in detecting a sense of 'resentment' objectified in the architectural representations. The sense of resentment is an alarming sign of the increasing tension between local government and the will of local people.
