突发公共卫生事件中的风险共同体--以北京某社区为例

Risk community in public health emergency--A case study of a community in Beijing

以大规模传染病为典型代表的突发公共卫生事件是一种现代性风险,给人类带来生命危机的同时,也引起社会文化的变化。在新冠病毒带来的这场现代性风险中,检疫隔离是防疫的重要手段,城市中原子化的现代性自主个体因区域封闭治理被限制在同一社区空间内,又因面临共同风险而产生心灵联系,催发出群体认同和精神共鸣,形成风险共同体。在风险共同体内部,出于风险意识的人际团结与撕裂并存,形成张力;在外部,风险共同体边界明晰且具有排他性。在风险应对的中国语境下,控制范围谨慎扩张的国家逻辑和防御边界不断收紧的个体逻辑产生矛盾之力,形塑了风险共同体这一人际关系新形态的特征。

Public health emergencies,represented by large-scale infectious diseases,are modern risks that pose life-threatening crises for human beings and bring social and cultural changes.Quarantine and isolation are crucial measures in epidemic prevention considered as a modern risk.Due to the regional lockdown,atomized modern individuals in urban areas are confined to the same community space and have developed spiritual connections and group identities,thus forming a risk community due to the common risks they face.Within the risk community,interpersonal solidarity and conflicts coexist,creating tensions caused by risk awareness.Externally,the risk community has clear boundaries but is also exclusive.In the Chinese context of risk response,the tension between the prudent expansion of the logic of state control and the narrowing of individual logic of defense at the boundary shapes the characteristics of this new form of interpersonal relationship,the risk community.
