摘要

摘要：在巴布亚新几内亚（PNG），新闻媒体经常报道团体交换礼物以补偿所谓伤害的事件。在这类新闻叙事中，补偿是自由社会秩序和关系社会秩序之间联系的隐喻。通过这种方式，巴布亚新几内亚的新闻媒体了解了在一个由巨大而深刻的多样性定义的社会中，作为一名公民意味着什么。赔偿故事的基本公式的不同版本为自由秩序和关系秩序应该如何互动提供了不同的模式，一个强调互惠债务和相互依存的逻辑，另一个强调礼物是对公民秩序承诺的非物质化象征。然而，每种变体都包含着另一种变体，因此土著主体作为后殖民国家公民的地位从根本上来说仍然模糊不清。全国性报纸上关于新型补偿的报道表明，巴布亚新几内亚社会及其媒体继续以更新的方式解决民族志公民身份的困境。

The Compensation Page: News Narratives of Public Kinship in Papua New Guinea Print Journalism

Abstract:In Papua New Guinea (PNG), news media frequently report on events in which groups exchange gifts as compensation for alleged harms. In news narratives of this type, compensation is a metaphor for the contact between liberal and relational social orders. In this way, news media in PNG produce knowledge of what it means to be a citizen in a society defined by vast and profound diversity. Different versions of the basic formula for compensation stories offer different models for how liberal and relational orders should interact, one stressing the logic of reciprocal debt and interdependence and the other emphasizing the gift as a dematerialized symbol of commitment to civic order. Yet each variant implicates the other, and hence the status of the Indigenous subject as a citizen of a postcolonial nation remains fundamentally ambiguous. Stories of a new type of compensation in national newspapers reveal that PNG society and its media continue to work through the dilemmas of ethnographic citizenship in ever newer ways.
