语言景观与村落社会主体的身份建构:苏州虬泽村的个案

Linguistic Landscape and Identity Construction of Village Social Subject:A Case Study of Qiuze Villagein Suzhou

在苏南地区,随着农村工业化的快速发展,乡村人口出现了“出”和“进”的双向流动;伴随着人口流动过程,乡村社会主体身份和社会关系正在发生深刻的变化,了解这种变化是有效推进乡村社会治理的新课题。社会主体身份和社会关系变化既反映在乡村社会的语言景观变化中,也由乡村社会的语言景观所构建。本文以超级村庄虬泽村为个案考察语言景观对村落社会主体的身份建构。在提出建构身份的语言景观资源系统的基础上,运用语言景观民族志方法对虬泽村七大类语言景观进行共时与历时相结合的描写,从中看到虬泽村社会不同群体身份具有多重性、变化性、流动性的特征,不同群体在互动中产生了复杂的社会关系,表明当代中国乡村社会关系变迁及其机制的复杂性。

In Southern Jiangsu Province,with the rapid process of rural industrialization,the rural population has experienced a two-way flow of"out"and"in";along with the process of population mobility,the identities of rural social subjects and social relations have been undergoing profound changes.Understanding this change is a new topic for effectively promoting rural social governance.Changes in social subject identities and social relations are both reflected in and constructed by the changing linguistic landscape of rural society.This paper examines the construction of the identity of village social subjects through the linguistic landscape,using the super-village Qiuze as a case study.This paper uses the ethnographic analysis of linguistic landscape to describe the seven types of linguistic landscapes in Qiuze Village in a synchronic and diachronic way.The identity of their different groups is characterized by multiplicity,change and fluidity,and complex social relations.It indicates the complexity of the changes and mechanisms of rural social relations in contemporary China.
