洁净与秩序——从斐济田村的清洁运动谈起

Cleanliness and Order: The Clean Campaign in a Fijian Village

蕴含道德情感色彩的概念与表征——清洁,在当地人的话语和实践中被形塑。在斐济田村清洁相关观念及其实践的表述和呈现中,彰显出当地人在洁净和肮脏认知上的分歧和共识,以及与秩序生活间的关系。清洁和污秽不仅是分类体系的表征,也被理解为一个过程,一个分类体系在历史进程中被不同力量形塑和建构的过程。群体间不同个体对既有分类体系理解的差异,部分源于个体参与的地方权力竞争。权力竞争引发既有社会结构和秩序格局的变动和失衡,而社会秩序动态平衡的实现,又有赖于群体成员深层认同的表述和道德共识的达成。

As a concept and representation with moral sentiments,cleanliness is shaped in the discourse and practice of the Fijians.The divergence and consensus of views over cleanness and dirtiness and their relationship with orderly life are manifested in the representation of the cleanness-related concept and practice.Cleanness and dirtiness are not only the representation of a classification system;they should also be understood as a process,in which the classification system has been constructed by different powers throughout history.Different individuals of a group understand the existing classification system differently partly because of the local power competition the individuals participate in..Power competition triggers changes and imbalance within the existing social structure and order pattern,and the dynamic balance of social order has to be achieved through the representation of the full recognition of the group members and through their moral consensus.
