村民眼中的“国家”——对华北一个乡村预防“非典”事件过程的考察

Abstract

Abstract:

This paper examines ethnographically the efforts made by different groups of people in a North China village to prevent SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) from spreading into the community and their sociopolitical implications. Based on participant observation and indepth interviews, it investigates the Chinese state from two angles: everyday state practices on the one hand and locals’ views of “the state” on the other. The local SARS prevention can be roughly divided into two stages: (a) villagers’ selfprotection，(b) joint prevention efforts by local state officials and ordinary villagers. The paper concludes that the Chinese state, in villagers’ eyes, is not only an integral system of bureaucracy but also an ensemble of differentiated and often conflicting organizations, sites, and processes. More importantly, it has a face and image that changes frequently.

Key words: SARS, the state, North China
