Chinese residential communities are places of intense governing and an arena of active political engagement between state and society. In The Government Next Door, Luigi Tomba investigates how the goals of a government consolidated in a distant authority materialize in citizens' everyday lives. Chinese neighborhoods reveal much about the changing nature of governing practices in the country. Government action is driven by the need to preserve social and political stability, but such priorities must adapt to the progressive privatization of urban residential space and an increasingly complex set of societal forces. Tomba’s vivid ethnographic accounts of neighborhood life and politics in Beijing, Shenyang, and Chengdu depict how such local "translation" of government priorities takes place.
Tomba reveals how different clusters of residential space are governed more or less intensely depending on the residents’ social status; how disgruntled communities with high unemployment are still managed with the pastoral strategies typical of the socialist tradition, while high-income neighbors are allowed greater autonomy in exchange for a greater concern for social order. Conflicts are contained by the gated structures of the neighborhoods to prevent systemic challenges to the government, and middle-class lifestyles have become exemplars of a new, responsible form of citizenship. At times of conflict and in daily interactions, the penetration of the state discourse about social stability becomes clear.
Luigi Tomba is a Senior Fellow at the Australian Centre on China in the World, Australian National University. He is the author of Paradoxes of Labour Reform: Chinese Labour Theory and Practice from Socialism to the Market and coeditor of The China Journal.
作者试图证明国家在社区治理中的两种治理术。在下岗工人社区,通过强化居委会、街道办,国家既提供福利又监视社会。在城市小区,国家以住房改革吸引中产,同时以"社区自治“和”“素质”的话语(discourse)鼓励对其他社会阶层的拒斥,以此维系城市空间分隔和社会稳定。前一半Read已写得很详细;后一半视角虽新但可靠性存疑。诚然,社会控制不都是通过压制性(repressive)手段实现的。但仅凭政府和中产在话语上的重叠(convergence),就认定两者之间存在"共识"(consensus,本书语境中或可理解为“合谋”),一切都是计划的一部分,脑补太多。说远一点,中国研究应该“求同”而非“求异”。比如,先看segregation和gentrification的普遍经验,再看中国是否特别、为何特别。
评分虽然作者对“共识”概念的定义很有意义,但还是不太喜欢这种以治理术为主线框架的论述(维稳目的下的治理术)。事实上中央与地方的矛盾、地方政府维稳政绩和利益获取间时常存在的冲突、治理手段中的非理性因素(很多可能来源于上述的矛盾和冲突)应该是政策学界的常识,但到了这本书里却变成了一幅和谐、统一、理性的画面。前一阵子出台的拆除围墙的政策也可能会让作者的某些论述站不住脚。
评分断断续续看了一年多。。
评分就像一个纪录片,作者的empirical interests and descriptions 是亮点。 让我看到围绕housing property而起的社会分层(the making of citizens),社区治理与话语实践(technologies of government)的具体案例。以前从来不把政府的口号或者说是执政理念当一回事,比如和谐社会比如中国梦。读到最后的social consensus 竟然觉得作者把这些话语和现实案例的连接很在理。启发我去如何去研究抽象的socialist dream。
评分感觉写得有点散,毕竟是长期的田野经历的积累。一些部分可以往政府策略上靠,但靠得有点生硬,而且未免脑补得过多,说服力差一点。不过从和谐社会到他并未论及的核心价值观的脉络可以看出,作者的讨论还是有先见之明的。不过还是把自己的一些初步的想法和作者的讨论靠上了。
The core conception of this book seems to be community consensus: the shared discourses and converging interests of state and non-state actors (definitely including residents). The community consensus is resulting from five governance strategies summari...
