云南维西玛丽玛萨人身份研究

On the Identity of the Malimasa People in Weixi County of Yunnan Province

玛丽玛萨人自20世纪初开始了民族文化的积极认同和构建,重新定义和诠释了自己的文化和文化身份,为散居族裔实现边缘文化与主流文化间的积极对话,建立多元文化的和谐共生环境探索出了一条新路。从散居族裔的视角出发,阐释了玛丽玛萨人近年来开展一系列文化重建活动的原因,并对其现状和前景做了尝试性的探讨。认为,在全球化语境下,以玛丽玛萨人为代表的散居族裔,对自身文化的现实处境和发展机遇所具有的自觉把握能力的强弱,将成为他们在全球化过程中能否避免丧失自我,实现自身文化顺利转型的关键性因素。

The Malimasa people began to identify with and build their ethnic culture at the beginning of the 20th century.Their re-definition and re-interpretation of their own culture and cultural identity blazes a trail for the Chinese diaspora to initiate a dialogue between marginalized culture and mainstream culture,and creates a harmonious environment for the co-existence of diversified cultures.This paper,from the perspective of Chinese diaspora,analyzes the root causes why the Malimasa people have carried out a series of activities for cultural reconstruction and makes a tentative exploration into the current state and future prospect.It is concluded that in the context of globalization,how much Chinese diaspora（with the Malimasa people as representatives） know about their own realistic conditions and development opportunities will be a decisive factor determining whether they can prevent from getting lost and realize a smooth transition.
