摘要
本研究聚焦中国云南边境口岸城市河口,通过深描的方式呈现越南边民在中国展开的跨境生计活动,展示他们在河口县城不同街区的工作场所,分析他们在河口当地形成的新的生产生活结构。研究发现,“越南客”的跨境谋生是越南边民个体化选择的就近流动,并非由单纯的族裔或文化群体网络所构成,是“越南客”在日常生活特定空间中与他人共同形成的网络空间。通过网络媒介,越南边民不仅创造了新的商业机会,也借由线上、线下的双重流动延展了跨国谋生网络。在网络技术的日常化介入下,“越南客”与本地人共同编织的跨国谋生网络在社会实践的多个领域呈现出复杂的联结方式,形成了新的跨境生活空间。地缘和亲缘关系在建构“越南客”的跨国谋生网络和新的流动性中产生了一定的影响。同时,深度阐释了在跨境流动研究中,将流动性与共生性纳入跨境生活空间研究的意义和价值。
It apparently has become a noteworthy orientation in cross-border ethnic studies to take the“cross-border”positioning as the research perspective,and to observe and deeply describe the multi-faceted“cross-border behavior”,intending to illustrate the daily life of cross-border ethnic groups in specific situations.Focusing on Hekou,a border port city in Yunnan Province,China,this study presents the cross-border livelihood activities of Vietnamese border residents in China through an in-depth description and analyzes their new livelihoods as well as the living spaces formed by them in the local area.In the article,the Vietnamese who make a living in Hekou are called“Vietnamese immigrants”.They are active in multiple living spaces jointly constructed by geographical boundaries,social boundaries,and cultural boundaries.In another sense,the work,communication,and daily life of“Vietnamese immigrants”represent a kind of social and cultural form of globalization.This study examines the livelihood networks constructed by these“Vietnamese immigrants”in both physical space and cyberspace,and moreover explores the formation of cross-border livelihoods and new living spaces among them,thus extending the relevant discussion of intercultural communication.The study investigated the livelihood activities of Vietnamese migrants pertaining to all aspects of life and presents a picture of transnational livelihoods in terms of their livelihood choices,workplaces,and life structures.It is found that the Vietnamese are embedded in a specific economic,social,and cultural network,of which the social network is connected by employment experience as the focus of their lives.In addition,it appears“Vietnamese immigrants”and the local people of Hekou are linked together by various activities of daily living,such as social,economic,and political relations,as well as cultural,interpersonal network,and technological links.From this complex relationship between Vietnamese migrant workers and local people,we can see that both sides pursue favorable living spaces and opportunities for co-existence and co-prosperity,intending to maintain the continued operation of the transnational livelihood network.After initially facing this new livelihood environment,over time“Vietnamese immigrants”have been gradually developing a set of survival strategies to adapt to the transnational livelihood environment,including a cooperation strategy,competition strategy,and intermediary strategy.“Vietnamese newcomers”not only create new opportunities for survival but also expand the transnational livelihood network through a dual flow of online and offline.Based on the above analysis,the research draws the following conclusions:1)Cross-border livelihood can be understood as a vicinal movement resulting from individual choices of Vietnamese border inhabitants,geography,and kinship relations of their transnational livelihood network.The transnational livelihood system formed by such regional flow and its practice processes can reveal more about the common cultural basis and dialogue space behind it.;2)the Internet may create new cross-border living spaces,and the embeddedness and everyday existence of media technology has shown to become an important driving force for the continuous enrichment and extension of cross-border living spaces;3)the process of globalization is not one of de-localization,but one in which locality is redefined in a new relational system;and 4)in the study of cross-border flows,it is of significance and value to incorporate the analysis dimension of mobility and symbiosis into the study of cross-border living spaces.
