Abstract

This essay discusses the author’s experience doing field work in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, and suggests that the messy entanglements between sand mining, real estate development, and local life afford an analysis that is both situated in and attentive to the global economies of sand. Thinking along the ecological, social, economic, and political dimensions of shifting sands not only challenges systematic analysis; it also affects how we conceive of ourselves as researchers and the responsibility that comes with doing research.

建在沙地上：湄公河三角洲采掘经济的定位

摘要本文讨论了作者在越南湄公河三角洲进行实地工作的经历，并提出采砂、房地产开发和当地生活之间的混乱纠葛为我们提供了一种分析方法，这种分析方法既能立足于全球砂经济，又能关注全球砂经济。从流沙的生态、社会、经济和政治维度进行思考，不仅是对系统分析的挑战，也会影响我们作为研究人员的自我认识以及开展研究的责任。
