How the Community is Possible
图书简介
Most of the existing researches for community focus on observing,describing and analysing the content and structure of the local life and try to reflect the holistic social situation as well as problems.In this field,the questions are:how does the community appear?How do the independent persons get together and become a community?By using the dichotomies conceptions of Tonnies,questions can be expressed as how the strange,indifferent,distrustful and unattached persons build up the acquaint,concerned,trustful and reliant relationship with each other.Therefore,this book aims to reveal the procedure and dynamic of community making.
How the society is possible,or in other words,how to build a community by social interaction,is the problem proposed by Georg Simmel.However,his formal sociology merely answered “how to know the society is possible” from the epistemology rather than the specific interpersonal action and society making.This book,by analysing the practice of commercial residential enclave,tries to illustrate how a real community is constructed during the daily life.Further more,the longitude investigation provides the temporal variation to supplement the atemporal analysis of Simmel.Besides the special environment of metropolis and commercial residential enclaves,this book also refers to the actor-network-theory of Latour to emphasize the the subjectivity of the actors,which deal with Simmel’s antinomy in methodology.
In general,the emergence of social connection within commercial residential enclave contains three stages:burgeon,correlation and reorganization.In the early period,the strange residents take some occasional interaction with certain concern such as the property management.Gradually,quasi-colleague,friend and neighbours take shape and become the three main connection types.With the expansion of interpersonal action,some special events relevant to the whole community promote the association amorg those existed different connections.Being mobilized by several big events,most of the residents have connected to the community network through variety of sub-connection.Nevertheless,the relations between those nodes are far from static.The rupture and reorganization happen at any time according to the change of situation.
With the procedure analysis,I argued that the community life of commercial residential enclave in metropolis have the following features:pragmatism,segmental interaction,the inter-promotion between cyber space and reality,and the invisible intervention from the state.And the neighbouring dynamic of such commercial residential enclave includes:the catalysis of special space,the formalization of occasional interaction,the purposive action for collective attachment and memory,and the pursue to legitimate.Based on that,this study,arguing with Durkheim and Simmel,tries to summarise the dynamic,type and development tendency of social connection.Generally speaking,the connection caused by instrumental needs tends to be organisational and bureaucratic,while the connection promoted by inter-subjectivity emphasised the emotional engagement.In the real life,however,all kinds of social connections develop in different space at the same time.And they are likely to be adjusted according to the specific situation.
Grounded on the case study of Fangya Garden,I do not vote for the hypothesis that the high speed urbanization will lead to the decline of community life.Meanwhile,I would like to stress the dual identification of commercial residential enclave:the herald of civil society and the governance unit of the state.This character brings us to reconsider the governance model of commercial residential enclaves.
