互联网使用与业主抗争:以番禺反垃圾焚烧维权事件为案例

在中国的社会转型时期,各种业主抗争已经成为社区政治中的重要现象。在一些业主抗争案例中,互联网扮演了重要角色。本文以番禺反垃圾焚烧维权事件为研究案例,探讨互联网使用在业主集体抗争中的作用。研究发现,互联网使用能够为业主提供信息传递、共识塑造等公共平台,并建构业主之间的关系网络,进行社区的资源动员,从而有助于业主抗争。但互联网业主抗争受到国家、市场和社会等宏观权力结构的深层次影响,宏观权力会渗透到互联网空间中,并塑造抗争者的行动逻辑和抗争效果。因此,对于互联网政治效应的研究不能走向技术的乌托邦,而需要将其置入现实的权力场域,采用一种动态的视角,由此才能够建构一种"现实的乌托邦"。

Internet Using and the Owners’ Protests:Taking Panyu Anti-incineration Event as a Case

Various owners’ protests have become an important phenomenon in community politics during the period of social transformation in modern China. The Internet plays an important role in some cases of owners’ protests. This paper takes Panyu anti- incineration event as a case to explore the role of Internet using in some collective activists. It is found that the Internet could provide the owners with a platform to communicate with each other and build the consensus and that it also could construct a network of relationship between the owners and mobilize the community resource. But the Internet using is deeply influenced by the powers of state, market and society. These macro powers will penetrate into the Internet space and shape the actions of protesters’ logic and effects. So, the research of Internet’s political effects should not move toward a utopia of technology; instead, it should be placed into the field of real powers and take a dynamic perspective, thus making us be able to construct a realistic utopia.
