- Description 詳情
This talk examines the everyday practices of citizenship in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. Based on an ethnographic fieldwork in a rural village along the North Korean border, I introduce the concept of “performative state presence” to comprehend how residents and officials navigate China’s political landscape. I will discuss how citizens utilize state symbols to legitimize their claims for rights, and how the state reciprocates with gestures of care to ensure loyalty. Ultimately, this presentation highlights how borderland ethnic minority communities use these performative acts and navigate between distinct layers of the state to carve out a space within the Chinese nation.
