族裔散居研究

A Study on Diaspora

本文从内涵界定、时代背景、身份归属和文化认同四个方面研究族裔散居这一文化现象。研究发现,流散的内涵界定应该超越其历史内涵,赋予其新时代所带来的新内涵,但其内涵拓展也不能宽泛无度。流散在全球化的时代背景下尤其常见,它既能够以本土文化质询全球化,同时又能够以世界主义的高度超越本土文化的局限性。在全球化语境下,族裔散居群体的身份归属是多重的。社会身份解域化带来了重叠的、可渗透的多重社会身份认同体系,以地域、种族为坐标建构社会身份的时代已经结束。因此,族裔散居群体在文化认同上批判了静止的、单一的、同质化的民族文化认同模式,开创了一种新型的、动态的、多元的、异质性的混合文化建构模式。

This paper examines diaspora from the following four aspects:defining its concept,examining the context of mass diaspora-globalization,understanding how deterritorialization of nation-states has shaped diasporic groupss sense of social belonging,and their modes of cultural identification.Research indicates that the concept of diaspora should be renewed with the change of time,though it should not lose its historical specificity either.In the age of globalization,diaspora not only questions the homogeneity of global culture,but also transcends local culture with its cosmopolitan outlook.In the context of globalization,diasporic groups have multiple sense of belonging.With deterritorialization of nation-states,diasporic groups have multiple and penetrable social roles.They no longer define their sense of belonging according to geographical space and racial difference.Therefore,the diasporic groups pose a critique against the static,unified,homogeneous mode of cultural identification,and present a new,dynamic,plural and heterogeneous mode of cultural hybridization.
