摘要: 鸦片战争后,基督教虽然获得了在中国的合法传教地位,但民众反洋教运动却愈演愈烈,最终在庚子年义和团运动中达到巅峰。本文基于象征人类学的研究视角,通过对以义和团为主的反洋教运动中的家国话语及其象征文化结构的分析,从传统乡村社会的家族权力结构、保家意识的正统性转换、民间劫难观的民族主义重构以及家国话语的整合与实施这四个方面,呈现民众反洋教意识之根源及其与民间信仰意识、内涵和仪式等的关联性,揭示清末民间兴起的家国话语背后那股急于宣泄各种矛盾情绪、表达象征权力的群体意识是如何产生、转换、整合并得以具体实施的。

Abstract: After the Opium War, Christianity gained its legal missionary status in China, but the Anti-Foreign-Religion movement became more intense, and finally reached its peak during the Boxer Uprising in 1900. From the perspective of symbolic anthropology, this paper examines the family-nation discourse and its symbolic cultural structure from four aspects: the structure of family power in the traditional rural society, the metaphorical legitimacy on transforming the sense of family protection into the family-nation discourse, the nationalistic reconstruction of the popular views on calamities, and the integration and implementation of the family-nation discourse. It reveals how the communal consciousness, which was eager to release various social conflicts and express symbolic power, was produced, transformed, integrated and implemented.
