空间秩序转变与“家”的扎根与脱根——一项流动摊贩进城案例的社会学研究

Spatial Order Transformation and the Rooting and Uprooting of"Home":A Sociological Case Study of Mobile Vendors Moving into the City

非正规的空间资源为何能让农村流动群体实现家庭再生产,是一项有待研究的议题。本文通过流动摊贩进城案例的研究发现,草根秩序下的空间包容性是摊贩获得谋生地和扎根城市的前提。居住地邻近谋生地的空间安排有利于他们兼顾生计和家务,让成员聚居、代际合作,进而使下一代进城更具可能性。然而,空间秩序正规化的转变可能会封闭草根秩序下的包容性。一旦在谋生地遭遇驱逐,流动群体就难以延续原有空间安排的统合意义,他们在本地的城市化路径也可能由此中断。

The question of how informal spatial resources enable rural migrant groups to reproduce their families is a topic for study.The case study of mobile vendors reveals that the inclusivity in urban space under grassroots order is a ground for street vendors to find a livelihood and to be rooted in community.The spatial arrangement of living in close proximity to the place of livelihood facilitates them to balance their livelihoods and household chores,and makes it possible for family members to live together,for intergenerational cooperation,and even for the next generation to move to the city.However,shifts in the formalization of the spatial order can close down inclusiveness in the grassroots order.Once evicted from their place of livelihood,migrant groups are unable to continue the unifying meaning of the original spatial arrangement,and their local path of urbanization is thus interrupted.
