摘要/Abstract

摘要：

中国激烈的劳工抗争为何未能得到持续的扩展而被国家逐步平息，笔者试图通过对正式国有工人和长期临时工人的比较研究来回答此问题。本文聚焦这两组工人具体的斗争过程和机制，考察他们如何通过在街头抗议、集体上访和法律仲裁等不同斗争路线之间的穿梭，从而实现与国家代理人的互动。研究发现，这两类工人在斗争过程中获得了不同的象征性满足而不是物质上的让步；他们的满足方式的差异是国家代理人依据两类工人各自不同的历史轨迹和社会身份所做出的有差别的策略性回应与引导的结果。与强调工人内部分化导致集体无行动的“工人分化论”不同，本文所谓的“消散式遏制”强调分化的工人同地方国家代理人之间的互动，正是在这个过程中，工人们未能实现抗争可能带来的阶级认同，而是丧失了最初的激进动力和挑战性，逐步屈从于国家的和平驯化过程。

Abstract:

Why have the radical labor unrests in China been gradually pacified by the state instead of getting sustained and expanded? This paper tries to answer this question by comparing two groups of workersstate workers vs. temporary workers with a focus on the concrete processes and mechanisms of these workers’ struggles to explore how they varied different struggle strategies including street protests, collective petitions, and court arbitrations to interact with the state agents. The study discovered that the two types of workers had obtained different symbolic rewards instead of material concessions. Their major difference in the form to get satisfaction resulted from the state agents’ differentiated strategic responses to the different social positions and historical trajectories of the two types of workers. Unlike the classical “fragmentation” argument which attributes the working class’s inaction to its internal divisions, the argument in my paper about the “dispersive containment” focuses on the interaction between the differentiated workers and the local state agents, during which the workers lost their initial challenging momentum and gradually yielded to the state’s peaceful taming so that they didn’t get their class identity that could have been possible through their struggles.

Key words: street protests， , collective petitions，, legal arbitration，, labor disputes, Dispersive containment，
