摘要
本文以柬埔寨华人族群身份的判定标准“社团”为线索,提出华人社会“精英”的分析概念,探寻在柬埔寨政治经济体制和权力变迁过程中,华人社会精英群体的阶层身份所面对的挑战与适应,以及其族群身份认同的表达与应对。在华侨华人研究的“建构论”,尤其是“经济决定论”的基础上,本文将知识分子作为与华商并置的精英阶层,并进一步提出,在海外华人社会中,存在以实利为导向的跨国主义和以文化为标准的等级主义这两种不同的观念体系。这两者既构成海外华人社会内部阶层与族群身份的张力,也是理解海外华人社会变迁与文化适应的基础。
This article traces the criteria of“shetuan”社团(association)set up by Chinese in Cambodia and delineates the notion of“jingying”精英(social elites).It relies on the class-based“jingying”to understand how elite Chinese negotiated with the Cambodian regimes over their own social status.Specifically,this article focuses on how they positioned themselves tactically in the changing process of political and economic system and power of local society,as well as how they engaged with the politics of representation through performing the ethnicity of Chineseness.Building upon the literature of processual constructivism,especially economic determinacy on overseas Chinese,this article treats intellectuals to be side by side with overseas Chinese merchants,both of whom are elite class.Moreover,it proposes that in the overseas Chinese societies,there are two distinct value systems:profit-oriented transnationalism and culture-based hierarchism.This article reveals how the two mechanisms inform our understanding of both negotiation of class and identity within overseas Chinese and their adaptation to local societies.
