从乡村日常生活的真实状况出发,本文在个人、家庭、村集体三个维度考察了当前乡村性转型的主要路径。对河南邓州的研究表明,市场经济带来的经济理性与城镇化带来的流动性相互耦合,彻底动摇了传统小农分散、孤立、封闭的特征,但在不同维度上转型速率与方式并不同步。进一步的分析表明,当前我国的一系列宏观政策与促进乡村村民城镇化的初衷之间还存在需要弥合的差距。论文最后对家庭理想与经济理性耦合、个体理性与群体理性差距、有限城镇化的制度困境等理论话题进行讨论。

Rurality refers to the characteristics that define a village, namely, the characteristics that differentiate rural from urban. The problem of hollow villages refers to the phenomenon of an increasing loss of land resources in rural areas due to housing developments with a decreasing number of residents in recent years because the urbanization lagged behind the non-agriculturization of cultivated land in China. Drawing on empirical materials detailing the transformation of rurality in hollow villages' daily life in Dengzhou, a small city in Henan province, this paper provides new insights to understand China's diverse trajectories of rural restructuring under the confluence of two simultaneous processes of urbanization and marketization. This study is organized around the following questions:How can we capture the evolving rurality from the microcosmic perspective and provide explanations for these transformation? To what extent do these findings differentiate from previous studies? Adopting the qualitative method and the quantitative method together, an empirical work based on several month in-depth interviews and questionnaires was conducted within one town in Dengzhou City of Henan Province in Middle China. Three main parts of the work focus on transformation of rurality in daily life, daily production and collective organization and collaboration respectively. It is found that the enhanced economic rationality of individual and household due to deepening marketization, and the mobility associated with rapid urbanization have a combined effect which shocked the traditional rurality in different dimension from individual to the group, as well as from the daily life to daily production.
