面对发展主义对地方和传统的贬斥,以及日益强化的现代化力量,有必要关注和强调边缘民族社区在发展中的主体性和能动性。研究通过2008—2016年对云南泸沽湖摩梭人社区本土实践与行动的持续考察,发现在消费领域,村民展现出对新兴消费文化和风尚的接纳;在生产领域,倾向于通过市场经济逻辑的本土化来实现传统的保育,促进社区和族群的发展;在文化领域,借用各类现代的组织、媒介和技术手段,树立文化身份,强化族群认同的"我者"边界。文章认为,村民经济与文化的本土化实践涉及现代与传统、本土和外部的混杂交织、互为所用,这种混杂和借用可以促进本土在物质和文化方面的发展。因此,边缘地方和族群的本土现代性发展模式不但是有必要的,而且是具备可能性的。社区参与旅游发展恰恰为这种本土现代性提供了具体、可操作的情境。
In addition to the strand of analyses of the exclusion of indigenous cultures and traditions by the development projects activated by exogenous forces, inter alia the forces of modernity and modernization, it is necessary to unpack the subjectivities and agencies of the marginalized ethnic minority communities, without losing sight of the unequal relations of power between local communities and exogenous development forces. Lugu Lake area, inhabited by Moso people that is known as the last matrilineal tribe in China, is now experiencing dramatic socio-spatial restructuring wrought by the advent of globalization and modernization, especially throughout the development of the tourism sector over the past 30 years. To conduct this study, a total of 182 days of fieldwork and continuous online ethnography(mainly We Chat-based online ethnography) as used as research methods. They serve to investigate the indigenous encounters with development and locally based practices of socio-economic changes within the Mosuo communities between 2008 and 2016. The analysis of empirical data explores how ethnic minority groups negotiate tradition, modernity and identity. Benefiting from sensitivity to contextual conditions and comprehensive examination of the multiple, competing cultural and economic logics at play, the paper argues that the indigenous communities are not merely passive recipients of modernization and globalization. Rather, they actively seize development opportunities to improve their standards of living and wellbeing. Also, local people responded to the hegemonic discourses and claims for modernization with their own development objectives and practices. Based on the thesis of"our modernity"proposed by Chatterjee, this paper claims that the indigenous people work with the grain of the distinction between the material and the spiritual dimensions of modernity, and attempt to incorporate modern technologies and lifestyles into indigenous cultures, without necessarily threatening their cultural identity.
