这篇文章引用了J. K.吉布森-格雷厄姆呼吁从理论上摆脱单一的全球资本主义模型和资本主义单向“渗透”的概念。“经济混杂”的概念（源自巴赫金关于语言混杂的著作）被提出来作为马克思主义“生产方式的表达”概念的替代，以解释来自不同时代和文化历史的经济逻辑和实践的融合。支持这一讨论的民族志探讨了中国东南沿海温州农村民间宗教复兴的意义，以及它在后社会主义市场经济中的作用。借用乔治·巴塔耶的“仪式支出”概念和早期鲍德里亚的象征经济理论，案例研究表明，温州农村的仪式经济具有一种古老的经济逻辑，它颠覆了资本主义、国家社会主义和发展型国家原则。在这个混合体中，另一种经济逻辑的旧版本并没有被证明是对资本主义扩张的补充、适应或服务，而是与之竞争，并将其运动重新引导到其他目的。
This article takes up J. K. Gibson‐Graham’s call for a theoretical move away from a model of monolithic global capitalism and notions of one‐way “penetration” of capitalism. The notion of “economic hybridity” (derived from Bakhtin’s writing on linguistic hybridity) is proposed as an alternative to the Marxist concept of “articulation of modes of production” to account for the coming together of economic logics and practices from different epochs and cultural histories. The ethnography that sustains this discussion addresses the significance of popular religious revival in rural Wenzhou, on the southeast coast of China, and its role in the postsocialist market economy. Borrowing from Georges Bataille’s notion of “ritual expenditure” and from early Baudrillard on symbolic economies, the case study shows that rural Wenzhou’s ritual economy harbors an archaic economic logic which is subversive of capitalist, state socialist, and developmental‐state principles. The older strains of an alternative economic logic in this hybrid are shown not as complementing, adapting to, or serving capitalism’s expansion but as contesting it and rechanneling its movement toward other ends.
