社会资本视角下村民土葬行为内卷化研究

Studies on the Involution of Villagers' Inhumation Behavior from the Perspective of Social Capital

殡葬改革以来,村庄以其固有的逻辑牵制着村民的思维方式与殡葬行为。面对火葬政策的强势嵌入,围绕着社会资本的再生产,村民们不断用骨灰棺葬将土葬行为内卷化,仪式化特征越发突出。而现有的殡葬政策"去仪式化"特征明显,迫切需要在尊重传统仪式的基础上,重构现有殡葬政策体系,逆转内卷化趋势,引导村民殡葬行为健康发展。

Since the reform of funeral, villages have tied villagers’ thinking and funeral behavior with its inherent logic. In the context of the strong embeddedness of cremation policy and the inertia requirement of reproduction of village social capital, the signs of involution of villagers’ burial behavior are becoming more and more obvious, and the ritualization characteristics become more prominent, which is incompatible with the current “de-ritualization” proposition of funeral policy. Therefore, reconstructing the existing funeral policy system on the basis of respecting traditional rituals is urgent in order to realize the inverse involution of villagers’ funeral behavior and promote the healthy development of rural funeral reform.
