摘要本文探讨了男性友谊在德里赛马场作为一个例子,社会性中的城市南亚设置的不确定性和缺乏固定的身份。它认为,这种友谊是“机会的关系”,体现和反映了赌博竞技场的偶然性,而不是社会学或仪式的概念,可能条件友谊在其他设置。这种超竞争和超社交的空间构成了友谊的可能性和不可能性。因此,本文提供了关于如何与他人发生在一个异质的,流动的背景下,主要是由一个共同的激情自我充实的过度决定的见解。
ABSTRACT This paper examines male friendship at the Delhi racecourse as an example of a sociality amidst an urban South Asian setting defined by uncertainty and the absence of fixed identities. It argues that such friendships are ‘relationships of chance’, embodying and reflecting the contingency of the gambling arena, rather than sociological or ritual notions which may condition friendship in other settings. This hyper-competitive and hyper-social space configures both the possibility and impossibility of friendship. The paper thus provides insights into how relating to others happens in a heterogeneous, fluid context that is over-determined mainly by a shared passion for self-enrichment.
