空间属性与缅甸勐稳人的身份认同建构

Space and Mongwun-Bamar Identity Construction

缅甸华人群体由于不同的居住空间属性而产生内在差异,虽同样来自中国,却出现了华人、果敢人和勐稳人三个群体,并形成不同的身份认同。论文从空间属性的视角,着重对勐稳人的身份认同建构进行探讨。研究发现,居住空间和形态是影响其身份认同建构的重要因素。勐稳人的居住空间和形态的特殊性使其产生地区认同并进一步产生国家归属感,但其民族认同度显得模糊具可建构性:既对当地文化持开放欢迎态度又保留有传承传统文化的自信。

Due to the different living space attributes, the Chinese ethnic group in Myanmar has formed an intrinsic difference, resulting in three different Chinese groups—— Chinese Oversea, Kokang and Mongwun-Bamar that form different identities. This paper discusses the construction of Mongwun-Bamar identity from the perspective of space. It points out that living space and form are the most fundamental factors that influence identity construction. Mongwun-Bamar＇s living space and the particularity of form make produces regional identity and further produces the nation-state identity. However, its ethnic identity is blurred and constructive： Not only open and welcome to local culture, but also retain the confidence of inheriting the traditional culture.
