澳门回归后土生葡人的调适与族群认同

The Aboriginal Portuguese in Macao:Their Adaptation and Ethnic Identity after Macao's return

土生葡人是澳门一个独特的族群。本文在田野调查的基础上,对于回归后土生葡人族群内部的消极失落、积极进取以及旁观时势的三种心态进行了分析,进而描述了土生葡人在澳门的政治参与的现状,特别指出土生葡人的社团将会在今后的政治参与中发挥重大的作用。澳门土生葡人回归前后的困境与调适的过程其实就是他们在文化认同倾向上迷惘与重新选择的过程。对于这种生活在两个民族夹缝之中的混血族群的文化认同,笔者认为他们的认同会随着情境的改变而改变,而影响他们这种改变的因素主要是政治强势和文化强势的博弈。最后,对于土生葡人今后的发展方向从族群的边界理论等方面进行了讨论。

The aboriginal Portuguese in Macao are a special ethnic group. After China regained sovereignty of Macao, this ethnic group was divided into those who felt depressed and lost, those who were optimistic and aggressive, and those who took a detached and on-looking attitude. Based on field researches, this paper tries to show how the aboriginal Portuguese redefined their cultural identity as an ethnic group of mixed blood and how they would adapt to the changing environments and build up their own communities for more active political and social participation.
