基于接触理论视角,本文对30名20世纪80年代以来在非洲经商创业的新华商与非洲当地社群的接触状况进行了探讨。研究发现,非洲新华商在与当地社群接触中采用了渐进式接触、脱离接触与情境化接触等策略,形成了工具型、情感型以及“工具—情感”型接触行为模式,对双方经济地位的提升起到了积极作用。但是,新华商在与非洲当地社群的接触中还存在刻板印象、接触误判、接触领域单一化等问题,这容易使双方在日常跨文化接触中产生不必要的损失。在“南—南”移民流动框架下,非洲新华商与当地社群应在平等互利的基础上构建嵌入式的利益共同体,扬长避短、增进相互了解,拓宽接触渠道、提升接触能力,避免产生误判,为促进中非友好交流贡献力量。
Based on the perspective of Contact Theory,this paper discusses the contact situation between 30 new Chinese businessmen doing business in Africa since 1980s and local communities in Africa. The study found that the new Chinese businessmen in Africa adopted the strategies of gradual contact,disengagement and situational contact in their contact with local communities,and formed instrumental,emotional and “tool emotion” contact behavior patterns,which played a positive role in the improvement of the economic status of both sides. However,the new Chinese businessmen still have some problems in their contacts with local communities in Africa,such as stereotype,contact misjudgment and narrow contact field,which is easy to cause unnecessary losses in daily contacts between the two sides. Under the framework of “South-South” international migration flow,African new Chinese businessmen and local communities should build an embedded community of interests on the basis of equality and mutual benefit,develop strengths and avoid weaknesses,enhance mutual understanding,broaden contact channels and improve contact capacity,avoid misjudgment,and contribute to promoting friendly exchanges between China and Africa.
