“国家化”视野下的中国西南地域与民族社会--以“古苗疆走廊”为中心

Research on the Regions and Ethnic Societies in the Southwest China from the Perspective of Nationalization

通过"古苗疆走廊"形成过程的追溯,初步探讨了国家力量、汉族移民及文化对西南边疆地区及各民族社会带来的冲击;认为明清时代西南边疆地区所经历的剧烈的社会变迁,其主要特点就是王朝权力依托"国家走廊"自上而下地开展"国家化"整合过程,其地域及族群文化多样性的形成与宏大的"国家叙事"间有着内在因果关联;进而对前近代时期的"国家化"等内涵进行了若干理论梳理与探讨。

Reviewing the formation of the ＂Ancient Miao Frontier Corridor＂, a tentative study is made on the impacts on frontier regions and ethnic societies of the Southwest China brought about by the national power, Hafts immigration and cultures. It is found that the dramatic changes of the Southwest frontier in the Ming and Qing dynasties are characterized by a top clown nationalized integration launched by the imperial authority relying on the ＂national corridor＂. There is an inner causal interrelation between the formation of the diversity of regions and ethnic cultures and the grand ＂national narrative＂. A further discussion is conducted on theories of the connotation of the nationalization occurring in contemporary China.
