家庭关系的理性化:表现、机制及后果1——基于湖南Z村的调查

The Rationalization of Family Relationships: Performance,Mechanism and Consequences: Based on an Investigation in Village Z,Hunan Province

家庭关系的理性化是当前农民家庭生活的一个重要变动方向。以湖南Z村农民家庭生活的经验调查为基础发现,家庭关系的理性化主要包括以下三个层面:代际关系的交换性、兄弟关系的原子化和夫妻关系的工具化,从本质上体现了家庭生活去伦理化的趋势。市场经济兴起后,工具理性在家庭生活领域的扩张进一步加剧了这一变动。这些变化事关中国农民的价值和意义世界之变,应成为当前农村研究的重要领域。

In the current rural China, the rationalization of family relationships in farmers＇ family life becomes a major trend. The investigation in Village Z, Hunan province has found out that the rationalization of family relationships mainly includes the following three aspects： the commutation of relations between generations, the atomization of brotherhood and utilitarianism of the conjugal relation. The changes take place naturally due to the ethics disenchantment of family life, and are accelerated by the expansion of instrument rationality after the rise of market economy. And the changes have profound consequences, referring to the transformation of Chinese peasants＇moral value and the meaning of family life, which is to be an important field in the rural researches.
