摘要

摘要在18世纪,殖民地斯里兰卡,荷兰教会保存了大量的当地人口登记册。这些“学校thombos”包含洗礼、结婚、入学和死亡的个人登记。这篇文章认为,学校汤博思揭示了荷兰东印度公司和荷兰归正教会对家庭生活的道德控制,同时为当地人提供了法律和宗教身份,以用于谈判荷兰殖民官僚机构。这些很少被研究的登记册为斯里兰卡家族史和荷兰殖民主义的实践提供了新的线索。关于十八世纪斯里兰卡当地人和殖民地宗教的结合,他们告诉我们什么?汤波学校是一种用于登记和规范家庭生活的工具,具有不同行为者的特定功能和用途。本文探讨了thombo的形式、目的和使用。为什么汤博创建了这所学校,谁在这些来源中注册?起草学校汤博书的微观实践是什么?这篇文章得到了几个案例研究的支持,这些案例研究说明了汤博学校是如何在展示书面身份价值的同时进入家庭生活的。

Registering and Regulating Family Life: The School Thombos in Dutch Sri Lanka
Abstract In eighteenth-century, colonial Sri Lanka, the Dutch church kept extensive registers of the local population. These “school thombos” contain individual registration of baptism, marriage, school attendance and death. This article argues that the school thombos reveal moral control over family life by the Dutch East India Company and the Dutch Reformed Church, while offering locals a legal and religious identity to employ in negotiating the Dutch colonial bureaucracy. These rarely studied registers shed new light on Sri Lankan family history and the practices of Dutch colonialism. What do they tell us about conjunctures of locals with colonial religion in eighteenth-century Sri Lanka? The school thombo was an instrument used to register and regulate family life, with specific functions and uses by different actors. This article explores the format, objectives and use of the school thombo. Why was the school thombo created and who were registered in these sources? What were the micro practices of drawing up the school thombo? The article is supported by several case studies that illustrate how the school thombo found its way into family life while demonstrating the value of written identities.
