摘要在本文中，我研究了历史和政治的偶然性，产生了城市佩特拉和贝都因人作为国家的标志在约旦。集体的民族记忆和功利的民族认同的产生与在民族背景下运作的权力关系密不可分。佩特拉和贝都因人都已成为约旦民族身份的象征，以应对约旦君主机构面临的合法性危机。约旦的身份建构基于包容和排斥战略，重新记录历史，产生关于群体和地点的新形式的知识，以及应对政治破裂和突发事件的巨大流动性和灵活性。本文将探讨佩特拉和贝都因人在这些背景下，有助于更好地理解约旦民族认同的波动和变化的建设。
Abstract In this paper I examine the historical and political contingencies which have produced the city of Petra and the Bedouin as national signifiers in Jordan. The invention of a collective national memory and a utilitarian national identity are inseparable from the power-relations that operate in national contexts. Both Petra and the Bedouin have become symbols of Jordanian national identity in response to crises of legitimacy faced by the Monarchical Establishment in Jordan. Identity construction in Jordan has been based on strategies of inclusion and exclusion, re-inscribing histories, producing new forms of knowledge on groups and sites, and great fluidity and flexibility in response to political ruptures and contingencies. This paper will situate Petra and Bedouins within those contexts to contribute to a better critical understanding of the fluctuating and shifting constructions of Jordanian national identity.
