Humphrey, Caronline, 2002, 'Riturals of Death as a context for
understanding
personal property in Socialist Mongolia', The Journal of Royal
Anthropological Institute, 8(1), pp.65-67
Introduction
This paper explores Mongolian rituals of death in the 1980s as a site for
understanding how concepts of the person and individual character may be
represented through the medium of material objects.
[本文以80年代蒙古葬礼为地点来理解人和个人性格的概念如何通过物体为媒介来呈现]
These occasions allow us to see with clarity how what we may call property
exists
within a constellation of other relations between things and people.
[这些场合使我们能够清楚地看到，那些也许被我们称为财产的事物如何在一些事物
和人的关系组中存在。]
In a series of rituals, objects such as tiny quantities of symbolic
substances,
paper models and small possessions of the dead person are set out, and
interpretations of these reveal the many facets of the
deceased's meaning for the bereaved.
[一系列礼仪摆放了诸如象征物、纸模型、和属于死者的小物品等物体。而这些物体的
解释揭
示了死者对于未亡人的意义的很多侧面。]
The relation with possessions is held to be crucial, for it demonstrates the
particular way in which the dead person handled ethical issues such as self-
denial, observance of obligations, or the inability to let go of things.
[与所有物的关系被认为是至关重要的，因为它演示了死者处理诸如自我否认、遵守义
务、或
者对放弃物体的无能为力等道德问题的特别方式。]
Thus the funeral rites reveal an aspect of property relatively little
discussed in
the anthropological literature, this being the way that a person's relation
with
possessions may be constituted as a matter of character or personality, as
an
ethical rather than a legal relation.
The kind of property in question is what I call 'personal' - it belongs to
someone
by virtue of long use and physical interation.
[这样，这些葬礼就揭示了财产的一个在人类学文献中相对较少讨论的方面，也就是说
，一个
人和其所有物的关系如何被作为一个性格或者个性问题来构成，如何作为一个道德而不
是法律
的关系。]
[问题中的这种关系我称为‘私人的/自用的’——它凭借长期使用和实际交互关
系而属于某个人]
One focus of this article, therefore, is to shift attention back to the '
person-
thing' aspect of property, but another is to draw attention to the existence
of
personal property within various encompassing categories of collective
property.
Most of the paper is devoted to a detailed analysis of the Mongolian case.
[因此，本文的一个重点是将我们的关注转回到财产的‘人-物’方面。本文另一
个重点是，促使对在属于集体财产的各种包容性分类中存在的私人/自用财产的关
注。]
But this example may have more general import for the understanding of
socialist
society, since not only were Mongolian concepts of personal property not
erased by
the Soviet-type regime, but arguably they were enhanced by the practices of
'actually existing socialism'.
[但是这个例子也许对理解社会主义社会有更一般意义上的重要性，因为社会主义类型
的政权
不但没有消灭蒙古的私人/自用财产的观念，相反，我认为，‘实际存在的社会主义’
实践反
而加强了这种观念。]
----
This article proposes that we rethink 'the concept of personal property', （
主张）
and it uses the example of Mongolian rituals of death in the socialist 1980s
as a
context for exploring this idea. （例子）
1. （具体地说）These rituals
are not the occoastion for dividing up property among inheritors
(this has usually been agreed upon long before death)
but involve a series of actions that specify the deceased's relations with
material things.
Objects become personal property through prolonged use and physical
interaction.
The rites are concerned with the deceased's relations with such things,
focused on
desire, relinquishment, dependence, and other emotions.
The article thus shifts attention back to the 'person-thing' aspect of
property.
(小结)
2. It also discusses the socio-political contexts in which such a relation
becomes
important
and argues that socialist society did not elimiate but rather opened up
contexts
in which such personalization could occur. （第二个讨论）
It is argued more generally that personal property so situated is quite
different
from the 'private property' that is so prominent in capitalist society. (指
出广泛
的共识)
This in turn requires us to rethink the way that 'possession' may be
imagined, and
to consider forms of property that are conceptualised more in terms of human
attachment to objects than as exclusionary relations vis-à-vis other owners
. （进
一步的想法）
The Mongolian ethnography suggest that, just as people alter material things
by
long and intensive interaction with them, there are categories of personal
property that also change their owners, since actions of using, giving up,
donation, and so forth are ethical matters that transforms the person. （具
体的想
法）
[建议]
[80年代社会主义的]
[探索这一想法]
[，这些葬礼不是继承者分割财产的场合]
[（这一点在通常在死前很久已经达成一致意见了）]
[相反，这些葬礼包含一系列表明死者与物品关系的行动]
[(展开)物品通过长期的使用和实际的交互成为私人/自用财产。葬礼关心死者与这些物
品的关
系，集中关注欲望，放棄，依赖和其他感情。]
[本文因此将注意力转回到财产概念的‘人-物’关系方面。]
[这种关系变得重要的社会-政治背景][本文认为，社会主义社会没有消灭，反而打开了
这种私
人化可以发生的背景。]
[此种处境中的私人/自用的财产与资本主义社会中高调的'私有财产'是非常不同的。]
[这就要求我们，去重新思考‘拥有’也许是一种想象的方式，去考虑那种财产形式，
其概念
更加作为人对物品的附着，而不是面对其他拥有者的一个排斥关系。]
[蒙古民族志提示我们，正如人们以长期集中地交互而改变了物品，私人/自用财产中也
存在某
些种类，它们改变了他们的拥有者，因为使用，放弃，捐赠和其他行动是一种道德力量
，可以
改变一个人。] |
