“移动主体熟人社会”:基于少数民族农民工手机微信使用的研究

"Mobile Society of Acquaintances" : Mobile WeC hat Usage of Ethnic Rural-Urban Migrants

本文以在昆明打工的来自云南红河哈尼族彝族自治州H县L乡的哈尼族、彝族农民工为观察对象,聚焦其手机微信使用,线上观察与线下田野调查相结合,考察手机微信在离土离乡的少数民族农民工群体中重构熟人社会的作用。本文认为,即使作为农村主体的青壮年劳动力大量外出打工,因为手机微信的普及,无论是打工输出地的乡村,还是输入地的城市,农民工群体的日常生活行为逻辑依旧受到熟人社会的运行规则的支配,来自乡村的社会关系、社会结构在移动网络空间中得以重组,构筑了一个勾连城市与乡村的"移动主体熟人社会"。
