混合型群体的可能性——以当代在沪日本人的位置性为中心

The Possibility of Mixed Group:Focusing On the Positionality of the Contemporary Japanese in Shanghai

改革开放以来,因为新的工作机会或生活方式来到上海的当代在沪日本人,是一个夹杂在中日两国之间的"边际性"群体。他们的群体意识与社会认同及国家认同在两国经贸、政治及文化等复杂张力中被建构。特别是在两国间发生重大事件的时候,往往能唤起他们自己的社会身份认同。更重要的是,他们通常能相对客观地对待这些困境,不仅考虑自身的处境,而且对同样处境的群体表示理解与同情。当代在沪日本人群体,可以说具有了发展成为建立在对双方社会文化深入理解的基础上,融合了两国社会文化的"混合型群体"的可能性。在这个意义上,他们可以作为理解中日两国民间交流史的重要窗口。

Since the reform and opening up,the contemporary Japanese,who come to Shanghai because of new job opportunities or lifestyles,are a"marginal"group mixed between China and Japan. Their group consciousness,social identity and national identity are constructed in the complex tension of economy,trade,politics and culture between the two countries. Especially when major events occur between the two countries,they can often arouse their own social identity. More importantly,they are usually able to treat these dilemmas relatively objectively,not only considering their own situation,but also expressing understanding and sympathy for groups in the same situation. The contemporary Japanese community in Shanghai can be said to have the possibility of developing into a"mixed group"based on a thorough understanding of the social culture of the two countries and integrating the social culture of the two countries. In this sense,they can serve as an important window to understand the history of civil exchanges between China and Japan.
