边界与想象社区的建构:以广州归侨聚居区为例

城市化进程中，逐渐式微的归侨聚居区呈现被符号化的特点，其物质和文化形态的改变在一定程度上强化了“侨文化”的地方再想象，并加剧了边界随之发生的新变化。本文主要采用叙事研究方法，以广州华侨新村为例，尝试探讨在城市化进程中归侨聚居区边界的演变及其对想象的社区的影响，由此进一步解析归侨聚居区符号化的过程与动因。研究发现：①1954年至今，新村归侨共同体维系纽带经历了从国家利益到对幸福生活的向往，再到集体记忆的嬗变，折射出社会环境、空间形态以及邻里关系的变化与归侨的自我认同感、群体认同感之间的耦合关系；②华侨新村不仅是曾经表征爱国主义的物质载体，在资本与权力的支配下归侨聚居区被片面截取并赋予了其它阶层想象的意义和元素。

BOUNDARY AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF IMAGINED COMMUNITY: A CASE STUDY OF OVERSEAS CHINESE VILLAGE COMMUNITY IN GUANGZHOU

Along with the process of the urbanization, the declined Overseas Chinese enclave has gradually been transformed from an objective existence into a symbolized community. To a significant extent, the change of the material and cultural forms of overseas Chinese village has reinforced the re-imagination as space embedded in overseas Chinese culture, triggering relevant changes of their boundaries. Based on the case study of overseas Chinese village community in Guangzhou and the method of life story, this paper attempts to discuss the changing boundary of the overseas Chinese village community in Guangzhou and its impact on the imagined community. Also, it analyzes the mechanism and motivation of the symbolized community of the overseas Chinese village community. On the one hand, the reconstruction of overseas Chinese village's material boundary is not only related to the material form, but also associated with the weakening spatial representation of the returned overseas Chinese identity. This paper argues that the bonds among the returned overseas Chinese in oversea Chinese village have been transformed as the collective memory from the national interest and the yearning for happy life. Moreover, it also reflects the coupling relationship among the changing social environment, spatial morphology and neighborhood, and the construction of the self-sense and the identity of the returned overseas Chinese. The overseas Chinese village's geographical imagination is based on its material forms.
