Drifting in Beijing: Neoliberal Governmentality and the Subjectivity of Tutors in Tutorial Centers
-
摘要: 以福柯新自由主义治理术为理论视角,通过对26位非北京户口的教育培训机构讲师进行访谈,探讨现行户籍制度对他们的影响。研究发现,教育培训机构讲师之所以选择漂在北京,主要是出于对收入和发展机会的考虑。在他们眼中,北京象征着年轻和拼搏、先进和前沿以及公平。他们并不过度追求和看中北京户口,而是认可靠自己的能力和努力来获取好的生活,其话语呈现为典型的能力至上和个体归因而非制度归因。然而,随着工作的开展以及年龄的增长,他们又逐渐感受到机构工作的不稳定和漂泊之下的巨大压力。他们成为教育培训机构讲师的职业选择呈现为一种受限制的、适应性的自由选择,而他们自身呈现出一种受限制的企业家主体、吊诡的半市民身份和漂泊的主体的形象。Abstract: Drawing on Foucault's idea of neoliberal governmentality as a theoretical perspective, this paper discusses the impact of China's household registration (hukou) system on tutors through interviews with 26 tutors who are not registered in Beijing. The study finds that the reasons why tutors choose to drift in Beijing are mainly due to the consideration of income and career development opportunities. In their eyes, Beijing symbolizes youth and hard work, advancement and cutting-edge, and fairness. They do not pursue and value Beijing hukou excessively but recognize that they can obtain a good life by their own ability and effort. Their discourse presents characteristics of typical ability first and self-attribution rather than institutional attribution. However, with the development of work and the growth of age, they gradually feel the instability of working in tutorial centers and great pressure of drifting. Their choice of being tutors appears as a restricted and adaptive free choice. They present an image of a restricted entrepreneur, a paradoxical semi-citizen identity and a drifting subject.
