摘要

摘要:几十年来,中国的农民工一直被理解为从事“打工”(为老板工作),或出售他们的有偿劳动力,受到全球生产链、宿舍制度和工厂内外的剥削性劳动关系的制约。与此同时,创业作为一个反对或扩展大公的生命项目,在学术研究中被忽视了。创业指的是由城中村的独特性所定义的一种时空状态,即农村移民参与城市边缘的非正式经济,并将自己与创业和流动联系起来。它也是在以下时空条件下产生的一种多面存在主义:(1)在时空上取得领先的紧迫感;(2)乐观与不可预测性的关系;(3)以自由为名的移动技术。本文通过强调推动和阻碍农民工的困境,认为冒险的文化政治是一种使农民工在经济上具有侵略性,但在政治上处于被动地位的条件。因此,它不仅延长了农村移民在城市边缘的流动生活,也抑制了通过抵抗要求空间的政治行动。

"When It's Dark in the East, It's Light in the West": Lifelong Venturing and Accelerated Temporality in Beijing's Urban Villages
Abstract:For decades, Chinese rural migrants have been understood as engaging in dagong 打工 (working for a boss), or the selling of their waged labor, conditioned by the global production chain, dormitory regimes, and exploitive labor relations within and beyond factories. Meanwhile, chuangdang 闯荡 (venturing) as a life project that either opposes or extends dagong has been neglected in scholarly studies. Venturing refers to a spatiotemporal condition defined by the uniqueness of urban villages where rural migrants participate in the informal economy on the urban fringes and attach themselves to entrepreneurship and mobility. It is also a multifaceted presentism produced out of the following spatiotemporal conditions: (1) the sense of urgency to get ahead in spatial temporality; (2) an optimistic relationship with unpredictability; and (3) the technologies of mobility in the name of freedom. By highlighting the dilemmas that propel and hinder rural migrants, this article argues that the cultural politics of venturing are a condition that renders rural migrants economically aggressive, yet politically passive. Thereby, it not only prolongs rural migrants' mobile lives on the urban fringes, but also dampens political actions that claim space through resistance.
