Migrant Chinese Christianity in France：Overlapping networks and communal commitments

全球化不仅指经贸关系上的世界一体化，也涉及宗教文化与道德观在世界范围内的传播流动。在这一背景下，移民宗教已经成为凝聚华商华侨的重要纽带。本文聚焦于旅法温州商业移民的跨国基督教网络及其扎根策略，运用人类学民族志个案研究揭示出温州人的网络经济、传统家庭观念与其基督教文化认同之间的社会空间联系。在此基础上，本文尝试反思北美移民宗教研究中的“同化”范式，强调宗教与移民的全球化和多向性发展趋势，而非西方强势文化对中国社会的单向渗透与改造。

Globalization should be understood not only as economic homogenization but also in terms of the worldwide dispersion of religious culture and moral values. In this context, migrants’ religion plays an important role in binding overseas Chinese as a community. Drawing on ethnographic field research, this study examines transnational Christian business networks originated from Wenzhou, southeastern China, and linking China to France. It portrays overlapping networks of Chinese of Wenzhou origin connected through the economy, traditional family values and an indigenized Christianity. By emphasizing multidirectional international migration and globalization, this phenomenon contradicts the dominant assimilation model in the immigrant religious studies of North America, and cannot be seen as the unilateral penetration into Chinese society by the powerful Western culture.
