【摘要】:中国同阿拉伯国家的交往可谓源远流长。最近三十年来,随着中国对外开放的深入,尤其加入WTO以来,两个地区之间的跨文化交流得到了极大提振。自2001年起,越来越多的阿拉伯人远道而来,或经商或求学。北京,银川,上海等城市的阿拉伯人数量显著增加,而义乌和广州等城市则出现了阿拉伯人聚居的社区。
但在跨文化学界,这一文化群体并未引起足够重视。有关阿拉伯人在中国的跨文化适应探讨可谓凤毛麟角。本项探讨通过同短期居留上海的六位埃及工程师访谈,调查阿拉伯人在跨文化调整的过程中所遇到的适应困难;并试图挖掘其间所折射的伊斯兰文化价值观。
此外,作者也将另外六位阿拉伯人纳入探讨视野。他们在上海的居留时间远高于埃及工程师一行。通过比较略论表明,较年轻的阿拉伯人年轻一代的阿拉伯穆斯林对伊斯兰传统的看法更为开放:他们更享受“自由”的社会,而初到上海的年长阿拉伯人,普遍表现出对上海的“自由”环境的不安。
随着时间的推移,适应初期的一些问题,例如难以获取清真食物,中国女性着装过于暴露等得以消减。探讨发现那些接受过高等教育,居留中国较长时间的阿拉伯人,阿拉伯语毕业论文,易于形成多元化的宗教观,这对他们的跨文化适应有明显的促进影响。
