从“碎片”到“镜片”——一份来自缅北佤邦的田野报告

From "Fragmentation" to "Mirror": An Investigation Report on Wa State in North Myanmar

佤邦位于缅甸北部,是一个与中国毗邻、以佤人为主体民族、处于高度自治的政治实体和多族群杂居所构成的社会。佤邦"高度自治"现象的出现,是上世纪世界冷战格局的产物。佤人的发展是一个当代国际社会"现代民族主义"的典型案例,它的主观愿望,是想以邦的级别和形式存在于缅甸联邦的体制范围内,它的内部运行方式,更多的却是参照缅共时代,贴近中国模式的政权机制,而这个政权的最深厚和最广泛的基础和依托则是部落社会所确立的权威理念和意识形态。对之进行考察与分析,可以使人思考和检视诸多的文化镜像。

Wa State is a political and multi - ethnic entity with the Wa people as the major group in north Myanmar that borders China. The ＂highly autonomous phenomenon＂ of Wa State was a result of the Cold War in the 20th century. The development of the Wa people is a typical case of ＂modem nationalism＂ in the contemporary world. Its subjective aim is to survive in the form of ＂State＂ in the unit- ed system of Myanmar and its inter operation is a copy of the Burmese Communist Party and close to the Chinese Model in those days while its real base is the authority and ideology established in the tribal society, whose study will reflect quite a few cultural phenomena worthy of consideration.
