农村基层治理的基本性质已转变为生活治理。提升农村生活治理的有效性, 是全面推进乡村振兴的应有之义和重要内容。基层行政主体在生活治理中耗费了大量人力、物力和财力,然而,一些农村地区的生活治理不但没有使基层政权合法性的提升达到预期水平,反而制造出大量社会舆论风险点,使生活治理陷入上下夹逼、进退失据的困境。以农民日常生活的特质为本位,从治理主体与治理对象的关系出发,可以将生活治理困境的生成原因归结为生活意志的不可还原性与行政本身的还原论倾向之间存在的张力。一方面, 生活意志体现为不可还原的认同感、实践感、历史感和直观感;另一方面,对农民日常生活的景观化还原、工业化还原和数字化还原等行政还原逻辑,导致生活治理从村庄生活场域的使用价值中抽离出来,代之以带来政绩增值的交换价值。对生活治理困境的超越路径,在于遵循反还原的实践逻辑深入人的内心世界,着眼于生活规则的再造、沟通渠道的建立和治理主体的识别,对人的观念和认知产生作用。
The Dilemma and Solution of Chinese Rural Life Governance from the Perspective of Reductionism
Feng Chuan(Wuhan University)
Abstract The basic nature of primary-level rural governance has changed to life governance. Improving the effectiveness of rural life governance is an essential part of the overall rural revitalization strategy. Each administrative subject consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources in life governance. However, the life governance in some rural areas not only fails to improve the legitimacy of the primary-level political power to the expected level, but also creates a large number of potential topics of public attention, with the grassroots governance being trapped in a dilemma. Based on the characteristics of farmers' daily life and the relationship between governance subjects and objects, the causes of life governance dilemma can be attributed to the tension between the irreducibility of life will and the reductionist tendency of administration itself. On the one hand, the life will is embodied in the irreducible sense of identity, practice, history and intuition. On the other hand, the administrative restoration logic such as landscape restoration, industrial restoration and digital restoration of farmers' everyday life separates life governance from the use value of village life field and replaces it with the exchange value that brings political performance appreciation. The way out of the dilemma of life governance lies in going deep into people's inner world by following the practice logic of counter-reduction, focusing on the reconstruction of life rules, the establishment of communication channels and the identification of governance subjects, and having an effect on people's ideas and cognition.
