摘要
论文从社会学视角,对广东坎镇与海南文镇两个移民群体公共文化事业的捐赠活动进行了比较研究,认为海外移民对于侨乡公共文化事业的捐赠与其社会地位补偿密切相关,提出了"社会地位补偿"的解释范式。广东坎镇移民流向主要为美国、加拿大等经济发达国家,移民群体社会地位落差较大。他们的捐赠活动,不仅能够补偿他们某种身份及归属感的缺失,而且还能够获得一种额外的社会声誉。这种移民的补偿心态使得坎镇侨乡的公共文化事业出现了繁荣发展的盛况;而海南文镇移民流向主要是东南亚国家,经历了从"华侨"到"华人"的身份转变,祖籍地与移居地的经济差距缩小导致移民补偿成本升高,侨乡地方社会所构建的补偿体系对移民的吸引力在逐渐减弱,从而导致文镇公共文化事业出现衰落的发展态势。
Seeking higher social status in for overseas Chinese to make donations to for donations is largely dependent on their the lower social stratum of their adopted return for their generosity is one of the major motives their hometowns in China. However their enthusiasm social status in their adopted countries. If they are at countries, such as overseas Chinese from Wuyi in North America, they would be more willing to contribute to public services and cultural undertakings in their hometowns and thus enjoy the high social regard that they don＇t have in the foreign land. Nevertheless, if their social status is equal to or higher than that of the local population,-such as naturalized overseas Chinese from Wenchang in Southeast Asia, they are not so interested in social recognition in their hometown brought about by their monetary devotions, particularly when the price tags for their rewards are costy. The different attitudes of overseas Chinese from Wuyi and Wenchang regarding the donations for recognition have affected the fate of public services and cultural undertakings in their hometowns.
