Abstract

Drawing on the frameworks of moral economy and relational sociology, this article examines how small farmers have developed different dispositions toward risk calculation during the market transition in China. Using interview data and ethnographic observation from a village in northeast China, I show that monocropping farmers tend to view and manage risks differently from diversified farmers. Monocroppers, who rely on state procurement along with migrant work, have developed a personal-relationship-oriented style of risk calculation that avoids unfamiliar connections and prioritizes kinship ties in their economic lives. Diversified farmers have adopted market-cycle-oriented risk calculation due to their experience of boom-and-bust cycles. I find that individuals’ market dispositions are shaped by their lived experience of the immediate environment and have far-reaching effects on actors’ capacity to participate in markets.

本文运用道德经济学和关系社会学的框架,考察了中国小农在市场转型过程中如何形成不同的风险计算倾向。通过对中国东北一个村庄的访谈数据和民族志观察,我发现单一种植的农民倾向于以不同的方式看待和管理风险。依靠国家采购和外来务工的单耕农民已经形成了一种以个人关系为导向的风险计算方式,避免了不熟悉的联系,并在经济生活中优先考虑亲属关系。多样化的农民由于经历了繁荣与萧条的周期,采取了以市场周期为导向的风险计算。我发现,个人的市场倾向是由他们对直接环境的生活经验所塑造的,并对行动者参与市场的能力产生深远的影响。
