认同的层次与变迁——潭溪土家族的个案研究

Layers and Changes of Identities——Take Tujia People in Tanxi Community for Example

以潭溪土家族为个案,描述和分析了其认同的层次和变迁,回应了人类学的族群理论。潭溪土家族的认同体现出高层次认同与低层次认同并存不悖、各自发展的特点,其变迁的趋势是由血缘性、地缘性认同向国家认同的方向发展。个案研究亦表明,学界关于族群认同的根基性与工具性之争是可以辨证统一的。

Taking Tujia people in Tanxi community for example,the article describes and analyzes layers and changes of their identities. Furthermore, the paper replies to anthropological theories on ethnic groups. On the whole, identities of Tujia people in Tanxi community can run parallel in many layers. The changing trend of the identities is developing from blood and region relationships to a national one. The case study also indicates that the primordial and instrumentalist of ethnic groups identities can be dialectical united, while the academic circles have argued about them for so long a time.
