Fishing and Farming:Individual and National Identity of Boat Dwellers in Mao Village of Guilin

以民间文献为基础,结合多元史料,梳理桂林毛村水上人的来源和其在水上陆上生活的变迁脉络,探讨其透过重述祖先来源和历史权利,建设宗族和改变信仰称号,从而利用国家的话语符号塑造新的身份,认同主流文化和国家权威,以期掌握话语权和利益最大化。透过这一案例,认识边缘人群实现国家认同的途径。

Based on folklore documents and multiple historical materials,this paper sorts out the origins of the boat dwellers in Mao Village of Guilin City and the changes in their life on boat and land.The paper explores how they shape a new identity and follow the mainstream culture and state authority by using national discourse symbols through restating their ancestral origins and historical rights,constructing clans and changing their claim of belief,so as to grasp discourse power and maximize benefits.The case study illustrates the approach to achieving national identity by marginalized people.
