雲南移民在泰緬邊區所從事的馬幫貿易,雖然是奠基於大漢中心主義「走夷方」的文化傳統心態,然而其實踐過程卻不斷呈現出不同社群間的互助、衝突與協商,凸顯出這個邊區特有的地理、政治、經濟與文化主體性,以及這個經濟活動所內涵的複雜規範和知識。

講者提出「跨境民間」(transborder popular realm)的概念來指涉、分析活動空間內(activity space)人、事、物的連結性,以及其不斷變異的時間過程;在這個概念下,民間不再被侷限於國家疆界內,中心與邊緣、合法與非法也不再是固定的二元對峙;同時,邊境是對外開放的起點,一個充滿混和、不明與創造力的場域。

 

【名詞解釋】
#馬幫
就是按民間約定俗成的方式組織起來的一群趕馬人及其騾馬隊的稱呼。馬幫是大西南地區特有的一種交通運輸方式,它也是茶馬古道主要的運載手段,面對險惡而隨時變化的環境、生死與共特殊的生存方式形成馬幫自己嚴格的組織和幫規、有自己幫內的習俗禁忌和行話。(摘自BAI百科:http://baike.baidu.com/view/86686.htm

#走夷方
對於雲南來說,「夷方」舊時指緬甸、泰國、印度;「廠」則是指緬甸北部的猛拱、帕敢、抹谷一帶的玉石、寶石礦山,也有少數的銀礦山。
以「開弓就沒有回頭箭」形容「走夷方」再貼切不過。夷方路上一山分四季,十裡不同天。一路前行,一會兒冷一會兒熱,身體素質不行的很容易就犯個頭疼腦熱的。路上,無論是日頂中燒,或是忽而寒風襲來,馬幫都得風雨無阻地前行。(摘自:窮走夷方急走廠,有女莫嫁綺羅鄉 http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_59b7078f0102e2v8.html
