民族村寨的衰落:组织排斥、经济边缘化与文化断裂

THE DOWNFALL OF ETHNIC VILLAGES: ORGANIZATIONAL EXCLUSION, ECONOMIC MARGINALIZATION AND CULTURAL BREAKDOWN

本文以西南地区某一民族村寨为个案,分析了民族村寨衰落的逻辑,即在地区开发的大背景下,市场跟行政力量结合起来侵入民族村寨共同体,村委会等基层组织通过把持组织进入许可形成对青年人的组织排斥,进而迫使青年人进入边缘经济或外出务工。外出打工过程中学到某种流行文化并将其带回家乡应用到边缘经济中,造成本土文化传承的实际断裂。由此,民族村寨在政治、经济和文化等三个层面从本土脉络中剥离,进入了一个衰落的循环路径。但村寨的未来也许并不会因此暗淡,通过村民对村寨公共物品的自发提供过程的考察,发现共同体的内生性力量可能在于村民的自组织行动。

This paper analyzes the downfall logic of ethnic villages by taking an ethnic village in Southwest China as an example. Under the background of regional development, the market in combination with the administrative power of the village authority intrudes ethnic village communities, and the youth are refused by village authority to enter the administrative organization. Many of them are forced to work outside or enter the marginal economic field. They apply the pop songs and dances they learned from the outside into the marginal economic field, leading to a breakdown of traditional cultural inheritance. Therefore, the ethnic village is striped off from the local context in the light of politics, economy and culture and enters a cycle of declination. But the future of the village is not so dismal because of this. By examining the village＇s spontaneous public goods provision process, the author finds out that the endogenous strength may lie in the self-organized community action.
