摘要

随着2018年主日学运动(SSM)百年纪念的到来,本文探讨了两个主要问题:在SSM领导人的想象中,科普特社区的主要特征是什么?在SSM的主导话语中,“科普特”基督教和“民族埃及”身份之间的关系的本质是什么?本文认为,由SSM重建的当代科普特身份有助于科普特社区作为一个垂直的种族生存下来。新的科普特身份植根于并依赖于对民族符号和叙事的专属使用。如此装备,现代科普特人认为自己是更广泛的埃及社区中想象的精神社区的一部分。事实上,本文认为,SSM的话语呈现出一种独特的“大理石蛋糕”模式,其中宗教和民族身份都存在。通过将科普特主义描绘成基督教和埃及性相互影响的领域,SSM混合了神话制造的“生物”和“文化-意识形态”模式。因此,认同为科普特人就等于认同为埃及人。

Internal Reformation Within the Contemporary Coptic Imagined Community: The Sunday School Movement and Mechanisms of Minority Survival
Abstract With the centennial jubilee of the Sunday School Movement (SSM) occurring in 2018, this article explores two main questions: what are the main features of the Coptic community as imagined by the leaders of the SSM? And what is the nature of the relationship between “Coptic” Christian and “national Egyptian” identities within the dominant discourse of the SSM? The article argues that the contemporary Coptic identity, as reconstituted by the SSM, helps the Coptic community to survive as a vertical ethnie. The new Coptic identity is rooted in and relies upon the exclusive use of demotic symbols and narratives. Thus equipped, modern Copts perceive themselves as part of an imagined spiritual community within the wider Egyptian community. Indeed, this article argues that the SSM’s discourse presents a unique ‘marble cake’ model wherein religious and national identities are both present. By portraying Coptism as the area of interplay between Christianity and Egyptian-ness, the SSM blends “biological” and “cultural-ideological” modes of myth-making. Accordingly, to identify as Copt becomes equivalent to identifying as Egyptian.
