不对等的博弈:土改中的基层政治精英

本文以山东、河北等省的土改运动为例,探讨了群众运动中基层政治精英的独特处境和行为特征.土改期间,基层政治精英并未完全成为国家的忠实代理人,而是在社会人、理性人的角色指引下与国家权力进行博弈,以维护村社利益或追逐个人私利.另一方面,乡村民众的介入改变了国家与基层精英的力量对比和博弈格局,致使基层精英既内在于又外在于国家权力体系,处于明显的权责分离状态,这又进一步强化了他们谋求私利和"去政治化"的离心倾向.     

清末民初乡村精英离乡的“新学”教育原因

近代以前 ,中国社会以传统的“旧学”教育一统天下。 190 5年科举制度废除 ,标志着“新学”教育制度在中国最终确立。新式学校的迅猛增加 ,“新学”教育机会的拓宽 ,以及失去往日旧学教育内在社会整合机制的“新学”教育体制 ,为绅士阶层提供了社会流动资源。与此同时 ,近代“新学”教育体制在学堂地域分布、各专业学堂比例、主要教学内容等方面都始终疏离于乡村社会 ,从而进一步加速了乡村精英离乡的步伐。     

民间精英与乡村治理——20世纪前期中国乡村政治传播机制

在传统乡村,以士绅为主的基层精英阶层在沟通协调国家与社会关系,实施社会教化,维持官民良性互动等方面发挥着主导作用.到20世纪前期,现代传媒对乡村地区几乎不产生直接影响,由于民间精英的城市化和劣质化,国家权力组织也未能有效地渗入基层,从而导致了乡村治理的困局.

Embedding and disembedding of political elites: a filter system approach

This article looks at the issue of political disengagement in mature democracies and the growing tendency towards disconnect between citizens and their political representatives. It locates itself in relation to ‘demand‐side’ (external to politics) and critical ‘supply‐side’ (focused on the political centre) explanations of disengagement. It concentrates on the latter and, accordingly, builds on critical, post‐Marxist and elite‐oriented work. As such it follows on from earlier calls in the journal for a return to elite‐based research (Savage and Williams, 2008). Drawing on general concepts in economic sociology (Polanyi, Granovetter) the article presents an alternative embedding‐disembedding paradigm for explaining and evaluating this tendency towards political elite disengagement. The propensity for politicians to disembed from wider society is explained by way of a series of eight ‘filters’. Such filters work, alone or cumulatively, both to socially embed political elites within the institutions and networks of formal politics and also to disembed them from wider society and the populace they represent. The interpretive framework outlined here draws on a combination of secondary literature and ongoing interview‐based research with some 150 political actors (politicians, journalists, officials) working at Westminster. As such, the filters and embedding‐disembedding paradigm focuses primarily on the UK case. However, the framework is easily adaptable to other nations and systems.     

“微言”与“大义”：微信使用对乡村精英权威构建的影响——对大理白族村落的田野考察

数字时代背景下,乡村精英也在移动互联网的影响中经历着转化。文章以云南一个白族传统村落为研究个案,考察当地乡村精英群体的微信生活。研究发现,精英身份和意识赋予他们技术使用的独特性,微信对精英群体的权威建构发挥了新的影响和作用。具体来说,乡村精英通过对微信技术的积极运用,在巩固象征性资源、拓展社会关系网络、激发公共生活的参与度等方面形成了新的权威构建方式。文章试图从新媒体技术的角度去探究微信和乡村精英权威身份构建的方式以及技术带给村落社会的重要影响和意义。

新乡贤助推乡村振兴战略实现的路径研究

乡村振兴重在“人才振兴”,只有解决好了人的问题,乡村才能真正振兴,因而推动各类人才尤其是吸引新乡贤参与家乡各项事业发展,成为实现乡村振兴战略的客观要求。新乡贤作为实现乡村振兴战略的重要力量,在全面推进乡村振兴过程中对产业振兴、人才振兴、文化振兴、生态振兴和组织振兴等都发挥着积极作用,但在实践中暴露出一些突出问题,诸如对新乡贤认识定位不清晰、缺乏情感沟通、实践渠道受阻以及权益保障不到位等。为此,需要通过多种舆论宣传确保新乡贤“时刻挂念家乡”、加强日常情感联系推动新乡贤“经常回来走走”和注重多措并举鼓励支持新乡贤“共谋家乡发展”等实施路径,来不断提升新乡贤在乡村振兴中的工作实效性。     

Medical diagnosis of dyslexia in a Swedish elite school: A case of “consecrating medicalization”

Based on qualitative data of an upper-secondary school in Sweden’s primary elite community, Djursholm, I propose how medical diagnosis of students as dyslexics contributes to consecrating them by offering a short cut to successful performance, while at the same time reproducing differences between social classes. The study suggests how students that do not score top can be labeled dyslexic and the social and moral consequences of that. I introduce the concept of “consecrating medicalization” in order to discriminate between the effects of medical diagnosis of members of different social classes. In this way, this paper contributes to further examining some key problems in medical sociology and the sociology of elites, by offering a framework of synthesis and integration.
