Abstract

This article examines the entangled secular/religious construction of neighbourhoods in Mandalay as dynamic, people-based and relational processes that are centred in dhamma-youns (dhamma halls) which work within and across administrative ward boundaries. Cities in Myanmar have not followed the trajectories of urbanisation documented in the global North and its socio-spatial relationships are inextricably bound to the Theravadin Buddhist lifeworld. This entanglement requires attention because international development aid promoted purely secular forms of urban governance between 2011 and 2021, and Buddhist morality remains salient after the February 2021 military coup d'état.

缅甸曼德勒社区的世俗/宗教建设:Dhamma-youns和ward

本文考察了曼德勒社区中纠缠不清的世俗/宗教建设，作为动态的、以人为本的关系过程，这些过程以dhamma-youns (dhamma halls)为中心，这些dhamma-youns (dhamma halls)在行政区边界内外工作。缅甸的城市没有遵循全球北方记录的城市化轨迹，其社会空间关系与小乘佛教生活世界有着密不可分的联系。这种纠缠需要引起注意，因为国际发展援助在2011年至2021年期间促进了纯粹世俗形式的城市治理，而佛教道德在2021年2月的军事政变后仍然突出。
