從異鄉人到「藝」鄉人：中和區小緬甸美食街的文化景觀和象徵展演

From Strangers to Actors: The Cultural Spectacle and Performance of Myanmar Cuisine Court in Zhonghe Dist

近年來，東南亞社群在台灣社會日漸扮演重要的角色，並成為研究焦點。過往不少研究針對台灣東南亞社群的消費意義進行分析，但卻缺乏對消費文化景觀的關照，藉此，本文嘗試說明具高度「異鄉人」特質的族裔經濟、社群認同以及不同社群間的文化行動邏輯，如何展現出一種具高度象徵性的文化景觀。此外，針對陌生人與異鄉人的社會性質，本研究認為是東南亞移民社群在台灣的重要內涵，在進行分析時應受到進一步的掌握。就此，本研究嘗試借助「陌生人社會學」以及文化景觀之相關理論概念討論，進一步理解蘊含異鄉人／陌生人之內涵概念，建構相應的理論框架，以進行文化景觀概念的掌握，並進而透過具體個案—新北市中和緬甸街，嘗試對「中和區緬甸美食街的消費文化景觀」所產生的社會情境進行概念性的捕捉。最終，本研究重新詮釋該個案，探討作為重要的行為者—緬甸華人，是如何在台灣社會轉變其所具備的異鄉人和陌生人的文化特性，由異鄉人透過充分的文化演出，進而轉化成為受接待社會歡迎的「藝」鄉人。

Recently, Southeast Asian Communities play crucial role in Taiwan society. Past studies have focused on the Southeast communities' landscapes of consumption as example to illustrate ethic economic, community identity and different communities' politics of interaction. However, these studies neglected the existence of strangeness that should be important quality of Southeast communities and their landscapes of consumption. Thus, trying to propose an analysis framework, this article pays more attention to stranger sociology and theoretical concept of cultural spectacle. On the basis of this framework, this thesis analyzes Spectacle of Myanmar Cuisine Court in Zhonghe Dist. in order to reinterpret implication of Southeast Asian Landscapes of Food Consumption. Based on this case study, this paper try to explain how Spectacle of Myanmar Cuisine Court in Zhonghe Dist. could transform social stigma into a popular landscape of Southeast Asian community's consumption in Taiwan society. Moreover, we also attempt to clarify that how did Myanmar Chinese community shift their strangeness to performativity? How did Myanmar Chinese Community alter their identities of strangers to become actors' identities?
