摘要
"族群边界"理论认为造成族群的是"边界",它产生于族群互动的过程,是族群的主观认知和选择,并以此区分不同人群。以俫人为例,他们通过对祖先记忆的诠释而形成边界,实现族群认同。"边界论"立足于主位视角,重视动态过程,与"客观特征论"用客观特征来判断族群身份的静态模式形成鲜明对比。
＂Boundary Theory＂ holds that ethnic group is maintained by its boundary, which has gradually developed from its interactions within groups; meanwhile, boundary is the tool of the subjective cognition and decision for ethnic group to distinguish itself from other groups. In light of the case of Lai people, the identification comes from the explication of their ancestral legendaries. Rooted in emic perspective,＂ Boundary Theory＂ attaches greater importance to the dynamic relations within groups than＂ Objective -Trait Theory＂ which identifies groups by their static traits.
