Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper explores the concepts of value and sociality in the lives of human subjects living in the village of Ara, South Sulawesi, Indonesia in the 1980s. Every individual engaged in several forms of sociality that were associated with different sets of values. As members of noble houses and kingdoms, they interacted with nonhuman subjects such as ancestor spirits and valued their ascribed social rank. As Muslims living in a cosmos structured as a great chain of being, they interacted with nonhuman subjects, such as God, angels, jinn, and the spirits of dead mystics and valued individual salvation. As citizens of Indonesia, they interacted only with other human subjects and as citizens of a nation that valued modernity and development. Individual social actors manoeuvered among these symbolic complexes in accordance with the values they were pursuing at any one point in time and were often able to strategically convert the symbolic capital they accumulated in one field of activity into a form of symbolic capital valued in another.
印尼望加锡人的社会性、价值与象征情结
本文探讨了20世纪80年代生活在印度尼西亚南苏拉威西阿拉村的人类生活中的价值观念和社会性。每个人都参与了与不同价值观相关联的几种社会形式。作为贵族家族和王国的成员,他们与祖先灵魂等非人类主体互动,并重视他们所赋予的社会地位。由于穆斯林生活在一个由存在构成的巨大链条的宇宙中,他们与非人类的主体互动,如上帝、天使、精灵和死去的神秘主义者的灵魂,并重视个人的救赎。作为印尼公民,他们只与其他人类主体互动,作为一个重视现代化和发展的国家的公民。个体社会行动者根据他们在任何时间点所追求的价值在这些符号复合体中进行操纵,并且经常能够战略性地将他们在一个活动领域中积累的符号资本转化为在另一个活动领域中有价值的符号资本形式。
