新生代农民工社会认同困境解析——基于深圳个案的观察

Social identity crisis of the new generation migrant workers: Based on the case study in Shenzhen

城市对新生代农民工来说,是他们的想像共同体:相对他们的父辈,新生代农民工更加渴望生活在工作的城市里,追求更好的发展机会,拥有市民的正式身份,如今他们社会关系、社会资源、社会记忆的变化,意味着他们想成为"城里人"。但是城市很难成为这一"共同体"的承载者,文化认同的困境、身份认同的困惑、未来认同的模糊造成了新生代农民工与"城市"之间出现了建构的差异。因此,需要进行社会整合,推动其他阶层与新生代农民工一起构建"城市共同体",提供社会认同。

For the new generation migrant workers, city is their imagined community： Compared to their parents, the new generation migrant workers are more eager to live in the city where they are working, to pursue the better opportunity and achieve a formal citizen identity. The changes of their social relationship, social resources and social memories all imply that they want to get involved into the city and become its real residents. But the city where they stay can hardly become the container of this community. The cultural identity dilemma, confusion on social identity and the uncertainty about the future identity all generate the difference of construction between the new generation migrant workers and the city where they stay. Therefore, it is necessary to build a procedure of social integration and to deepen city＇s openness and inclusiveness, to push forward other social stratifications to construct the ＂city community＂ with new generation workers, and to provide a social identity to this group of people.
