摘要
道路作为一种基础设施或物质实体,常被用来描述社会开放、文明进步和经济发展.在过往的研究中,道路多被置于政治经济学分析框架中予以理解,其经济发展价值和政治联通功能得到了重点关照,但其精神意涵、文化隐喻以及使用者体验并未得到充分体现.将道路视为一种文化接触的场域,借由湘黔渝边界一个土家族村落中的"公路灵石"案例,对其变化轨迹("岩爹"-"恶石"-"岩菩萨")进行描述,揭示传统与现代文化在公路场域中接触和并接的过程中所蕴含的社会文化内容.
Abstract
As a form of infrastructure or physical entity,roads are often used to describe social openness,Civilization's progress,and economic development.In the anthropological research spectrum,roads are mostly understood within the framework of political economy analysis,with a focus on their economic development value and political connectivity functions,while their spiritual connotations,cultural metaphors,and user experiences are not fully reflected.This article regards roads as a field of cultural contact,and by examining the case of the"Highway Spirit Stone"in a Tujia village on the border of Hunan,Guizhou,and Chongqing.It describes its trajectory of change("Stone Father"-"Evil Stone"-"Stone Bodhisattva"),revealing the social and cultural content contained in the process of contact and integration between traditional and modern cultures in the field of highways.
