“义”的双重体验──农民工子弟的群体文化及其社会意义

The Equal and Unequal Experience of "Yi" : The Migrant Children's Group Culture and Its Social Meaning

本文借鉴保罗･威利斯的研究进路,在描述民工子弟校学生同辈群体的静态结构和动态机制的基础上, 探究当前农民工子弟群体的文化生产过程。研究发现, 虽然没有突破阶级的社会再生产,但农民工子弟在丰富多样的同辈群体活动中, 自主、能动地生产出其具有鲜明特征的群体文化。这种文化以“义”的精神为核心, 包括平等的义气伦理和不平等的差序体验双重维度, 通过意义一规则一行动三个层面的洗礼, 这一群体有望实现其相对完整而特有的社会化过程。正是在这种群体文化的影响下, 农民工子弟在意识和微观层面主动放弃了学业, 而在结构和宏观上造成社会再生产的结果。

In 1970s, Paul Willis proposed his resistance theory, which explored the microculture product process of social reproduction from the perspective of working class children (" lads" ). Following Willis' approach, this paper described the static structure and dynamic mechanism of the peer groups in migrant children school, and explored their cultural production process. Our study finds that although there is no breakthrough class social reproduction, the migrant children produce their special group culture in autonomous, dynamic ways through a variety of peer group activities. Based on the core spirit of "Yi" , this kind of culture contains the equal ethical dimension and the unequal differential experience dimensions. Through the baptism of meaning-rule-action, this group is expected to realize its relatively complete but unique socialization process. It is under the influence of this group culture that the migrant children gave up academic goals themselves on the micro level, and caused social reproduction on the structure and macroscopic level.
