回归公共性:消费社会中乡村公共空间的资本化及其超越

Return to Publicness: Capitalization and Transcendence of Rural Public Space in Consumer Society

乡村公共空间是村民可以自由出入并进行各种社会交往和思想交流的公共场所,其形态和功能对促进乡村发展具有重要作用。当前,乡村正逐渐由传统生产社会向现代消费社会转型,乡村的消费属性日益突出。在消费社会,乡村公共空间的发展呈现出资本化趋势,即资本与空间深度融合,资本成为推动乡村公共空间发展的重要动力,乡村公共空间成为资本增值的工具。资本化一方面有助于促进乡村公共空间的发展,另一方面导致乡村公共空间也存在诸多问题。克服空间的资本化危机,需要以公共性为导向,通过树立正确的空间发展观、促进社会参与、创新治理机制、丰富乡村公共活动等途径,重构乡村公共空间。

Rural public space is a public place where villagers have free access and carry out various social interactions and exchanges of thoughts. Its form and function play an important role in promoting rural development. At present,the countryside is gradually transforming from the traditional production society to the modern consumer society,and its consumption attribute is becoming increasingly prominent. In the consumer society,the development of rural public space presents a capitalization trend,that is,capital and space are deeply integrated,capital becomes an important driving force for the development of rural public space,and rural public space becomes a tool for capital appreciation. On the one hand,capitalization helps to promote the development of rural public space;on the other hand,it leads to problems in rural public space. To overcome the capitalization crisis of space,it is necessary to be publicness-oriented,and reconstruct rural public space by establishing a correct view of spatial development,promoting social participation,innovating governance mechanism and enriching rural public activities.
