Mobilizing without the Masses pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
When advocacy organizations are forbidden from rallying people to take to the streets, what do they do? When activists are detained for coordinating protests, are their hands ultimately tied? Based on political ethnography inside both legal and blacklisted labor organizations in China, this book reveals how state repression is deployed on the ground and to what effect on mobilization. It presents a novel dynamic of civil society contention - mobilizing without the masses - that lowers the risk of activism under duress. Instead of facilitating collective action, activists coach the aggrieved to challenge authorities one by one. In doing so, they lower the risks of organizing while empowering the weak. This dynamic represents a third pathway of contention that challenges conventional understandings of mobilization in an illiberal state. It takes readers inside the world of underground labor organizing and opens the black box of repression inside the world's most powerful authoritarian state.

3.5。主题和素材选得好,讨论当代中国的劳工组织(主要是北京和珠三角地区)如何动员个体及威权政府如何管控社会。上篇聚焦政府管制,对地下组织采用三种碎片化控制策略(镇压、合作、忽视),对地上组织则采用竞争性管理(按照作者话说是“reap the benefits of civil society”)下篇提出三种无群众的集体行动策略:微观集体行动、原子化个体行动、话语性/文化性行动(不知道短评里的“离散性”是怎么得出的)其中劳工组织动员、教导工人的过程值得关注。对江胡温时期的一些政策和事实上的细节刻画很有趣,比如不同的地方部门管理社会组织时出现的龃龉,还有早先的社团主义。遗憾的是整本书还是描述性略强,没有看到更清晰的中层理论。
评分比较浅但Dedication page是亮点23333
评分和the pedagogy of the oppressed放一起看,棒
评分书名针对下篇,讨论在劳工缺乏有效利益集体代表组织时如何通过法外手段实现诉求。作者讨论了微观集体行动、个体化行动、离散性行动三种策略,并将之视为认可国家权力下具有民主自由政治诉求的反权威统治行动。并预测“没有大众的动员”最终走向大众动员以及国家在“维稳”中成本和难度的几何级数上升。上篇讨论了这一套策略的宏观背景:地方有关民间组织和机构的碎片化管理以及对于“地上”组织的收编与合作,导致“地下”组织既有生存空间又饱受打压的状态。作者结论指出这一没有大众的动员是有律师为代表的激进团体与个人隐秘组织的结果。工人集体意识的觉醒使得政府控制难度增加。遗憾则是没有将工人集体意识的启发与革命时期意识形态宣传关联,未能看到革命/改革之间的断裂背反,也就未能将工人抗争对权威体制道德和意识形态正当性的消耗。
评分正如标题讲的Mobilizing without Masses需要完成Mobilization和without masses两个任务。Diana可以在写作中对casing和framing的利用,来插入organizations在state-individual relationship的作用,全篇其实还是在讲dynamic interaction这个经典话题,只不过有state给予的条件,又有individuals的需求,所以有一个新的theoretical contribution,即处于collective action 和the weapon of weak中间的灰色地带。参看Diana的publications,她更熟练的是state and civil society而非微观组织。
