留守经历与农村社会的断裂——桂中壮族留守儿童的民族志研究

结构视角缺失的留守儿童研究,没有辨别漫长的留守经历对于留守儿童和农村社会的真正影响。通过将结构的视角带回来,本文旨在勾勒行动者与结构之间的互为构建过程,以刻画这一历史场景下社会结构变动的轨迹。基于广西中部壮族留守儿童的田野研究发现,留守儿童对于割裂性城乡关系的认知始于其父母在两地分离的状况下再造“家”的过程。家庭结构变动、“家”意义的丧失、乡村社区衰落以及制度性向上流动渠道的封闭,推动了留守儿童真正脱离乡村社会。留守经历塑造社会行动者心智结构的过程,导致了农村社会结构断裂和新劳工生成的双重结构后果。

The experience of left-behind and the fractrue of rural society: an ethnographic study of left-behind children in Guangxi

Structural perspective can help us to further understand the problem of left-behind children. The article describes the daily life of the left-behind children, which could help to depict the structure changes of the rural society. There are several factors that play important roles in these process. Migration between urban and rural society make the children aware of the difference between the city and countryside. The structure change of the family, the disappear of family identity, the decline of rural community and the transformation of school function are other important point that make the left-behind chindren away from the rural society. All of this led to the fracture of the rural social structure.
