摘要

本文认为,大型事件可以成为争论各种正义主张的重要场所,包括对地区身份的承认。现有的文献探讨了大型活动实现再分配的潜力,但它们对身份主张的影响研究不足。我们对2010年广州亚运会前期广东话争议的分析,运用了话语历史的方法,填补了这一空白。研究表明,一系列与广东话相关的话语策略在广东人区域认同的表达中发挥了至关重要的作用,而反过来,这些策略又被地方政府所采用的话语策略所抵消,后者认为广东话和中国人的身份认同并不相互排斥。我们的结论是,学者们需要更多地关注在核心城市以外的非西方国家举办的大型活动,以及它们在促进区域认同方面可以发挥的作用。

Mega-events and regional identities: the 2010 Asian Games language controversy
This article argues that mega-events can become important sites for the contestation of a variety of justice claims, including recognition for regional identities. The existing literature explores the potential of mega-events to achieve redistribution but their impact on identity claims is under-researched. Our analysis of the Cantonese language controversy in the run-up to the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games fills this gap by employing a discourse-historical approach. It demonstrates that a range of discursive strategies relating to the Cantonese language played a crucial role in the articulation of a Cantonese regional identity and were, in turn, countered through discursive strategies employed by local government, which argued that Cantonese and Chinese identities are not mutually exclusive. We conclude that scholars need to pay more attention to mega-events that are staged in non-Western countries outside core cities, as well as to the role that they can play in attempts to promote the recognition of regional identities.
