“读书的料”及其文化意蕴

“College Material”and Its Cultural Implication

作为对天资的鉴别,"读书的料"为一群富有天资的农家子弟开启了一扇布满荆棘的通过教育向上流动之门。"读书的料"并非天生丽质,不是一个稳固的地位群体,其求学之旅充满了风险和不确定性。"读书的料"的话语实践深深植根于长期不平衡的城乡经济社会二元结构。取得高学业成就的"读书的料"体尝种种犹如过山车一般的刺激与苦痛,而被埋没的"读书的料"却用一生背负了制度之重。农家子弟的向上流动之旅暗礁遍布,凸显了他们对强有力的公共支持体系的依赖。

As an identification of talents, tbe discourse of college material not only open the door for sortie talented rural kids for the possibility of class mobility, but also close the channel for other rural kids. ＂College material＂is not a stable status group, only a conformation of talents, not a born beauty and their journey to climb educational ladder is full of risk and uncertainty. As a discourse practice, ＂college material＂ is deeply rooted in unbalanced urban-rural dual economic sh-ucture. Rural kids who had got high academic achievements were suffering from the stimulus and pain like roller coaster while these buried ones bear the weight of eyst em all through their life. Their class traveling is full of obstacles, which enforce the dependence of public supporting eyst era.
