青年农民工的城市适应:实践社会学研究的发现

Adaptation of Young Peasant Workers to Urban Life:Discoveries from Practical Sociology Research

青年农民工适应城市的实践受到乡土世界、想象世界、城市世界和实践世界交互作用的影响,其形态和逻辑被四个世界型塑。他们的行为和价值观都是其实践世界之社会与人际关系结构的直接反映。他们通过实践性惯习的生产与再生产方式,来寻求一种界定并表达自身身份的社会适应性。这足以使他们应付城市的一般生活,并不一定需要获得现代性来适应城市。乡土性在他们的生活中仍然发挥着较大的路径依赖作用,获得一些现代性特征并不意味着他们就能适应、融入城市。青年农民工实践世界里诸多冲突关系和限制因素直接导致他们难以适应和融入城市。

The adaptation of young peasant workers to urban life is affected by the interactions between their provincial, imagined, urban and practical worlds. Their state and logic are being shaped by these four worlds. Both their behaviors and values directly reflect their practical world and interpersonal structures. Through production and reproduction with their practical habits, these young peasant workers are searching for a boundary to express their state of social adaptation, which seems to be adequate for them to cope with the general urban life. Thus, they do not have to adopt modernity in order to fit in the city. However, their provincial sense is still functioning as an important means that they can depend upon. Their acquisition of some modern characteristics does not necessarily mean that they are able to adjust to and assimilate into the city. Many conflicting relationships and constraining factors in these young peasant workers’practical world have direct causal effects on their difficulty of making adjustments to and mingling themselves into the city.
