摘要
本文借用斯科特的"道义经济"概念,试图以来自广东五邑侨乡的坎镇移民为例,考察道义传统、移民社会地位补偿动机与其文化馈赠之间的关系。移民在与家乡长期的社会互动中形成了一种基于中国乡村士绅传统发展而来的道义传统。我们进一步探讨了这种"馈赠—补偿"的道义关系及其可能面临断裂、重建的风险。文章最后指出,这种以传统道义关系形成的跨国实践不但能使移民获得社会地位补偿,还在一定程度上弥补了地方政府缺位所导致的村落公共物品与福利的缺失,客观上促进了侨乡的集体性社会目标的实现。
Based on the case study of the overseas emigrants from Kan Town of Guangdong Province,this article employs the concept of'moral economy'proposed by Scott to explain the relations between moral tradition,the motive of social status compensation for emigrants,and cultural remittances. The long-standing interactions between emigrants and their hometown gradually evolve a moral norm of conduct based on Chinese gentry tradition. We further discuss the moral relationship between remittances and compensation and the risk of fracture it might face. We conclude that such transnational practices based on traditional morality not only allow the emigrants to be compensated for their social status,but also make up for deficiency of the public goods and welfare of the villages due to the inefficiency of the local government and facilitate the achievement of the collective social goals in the hometown of the overseas emigrants.
