全球语境下的“仂”族群-泰国和老挝傣仂共同体的比较研究

Lue Ethnicity in National Context: A Comparative Study of Tai Lue Communities in Thailand and Laos

"仂"族群的语言为傣语,其故土在中国云南西双版纳傣族自治州区域内。同时,也有大量仂人居住在泰国和老挝。本文对老挝北部(勐醒)和泰国北部(难府)仂人的共同体进行对比,主要对二者族群认同及地域神灵崇拜之间的关系进行研究,并试图对仂的单一民族国家与民族文化发展话语之间所表现出的族群认同转型作相应的阐释。

The Lue are a Tai - speaking people whose home land is the Sip Song Parma region of Yunnan, China. There are also large Lue populations in Thailand and Laos. This paper compares Lue communities in northern Laos（ Muang Sing）and northern Thailand（Nan） ,focusing on the relation between Lue ethnic identi- fication and territorial cults. I seek to explain the transformation of Lue ethnic identity in terms of the way the Lue relate to the nation - state and,in particular, to discourses of national culture and development.
