Professor Huping Ling “Cultural Community Theory” Lecture at CCNU, May 17, 2023
https://studio.youtube.com/video/lTIlEx-KQ7E/edit 美国华侨研究的新视角——文化社区理论 令狐萍 美国杜鲁门州立大学历史系 [摘要]本講座深入分析探讨北美华人社区的成因与演变，以及北美华人社区研究理论的历史与现状。通过追述圣路易的华人社区的发展与演变，详尽阐述作者对美国华裔研究的新贡献——“文化社区理论”，包括文化社区理论的定义、意义、后顾与前瞻，以及影响。 不同于传统的唐人街，圣路易华人的文化社区没有明确的地理界限，没有华人商业与住宅合一的专门地理区域，而是以中文学校、华语教会以及华人社区组织为核心的一种特殊的社区；圣路易的华人多数就业于主流社会的公司、机关与学校，定居于白人为主的郊区中产阶级住宅区，而在业余时间、周末或文化活动中，聚集形成华人的文化社区。同时，不同于当代美国东西海岸许多地区以商业利益而形成的新型郊区唐人街，圣路易华人的文化社区是由于中华文化凝聚力而产生的社区；华人聚集一堂，不是为了（或者不仅是为了）经商贸易，而是（或者更多是）为了弘扬中华文化。文化社区现象标志着少数族裔在美国社会的政治与经济地位的上升。只要美国是个多元与多种族社会，就会有文化社区。 [关键词]美国华侨， 美国华裔社区研究， 文化社区理论
