摘要: 通过对上海新中产消费者的访谈,可以发现国家与消费者之间的关系在家庭媒介下分解并隐匿于国家、家庭和消费者三者之间复杂的互动关系之中。当前国家与消费者之间的关系张力从以下两个路径得到呈现:一方面,国家公民化消费制度的不足制造着新中产消费者在经济·时间上的相对贫困,这阻碍了消费者"去家庭化"消费的实践,使得国家难以在更为广阔的领域发掘新中产消费者的有效需求,影响国家"扩大内需"目标的顺利实现;另一方面,在国家强力推进的私民化消费制度的约束下,消费者不得不面临"去家庭化"意愿下的"家庭化"事实而身陷家庭成员之间的关系纠葛,从而给国家"维护社会稳定"的治理目标蒙上阴影。因此,对国家与消费者关系的重构需要关注家庭及其变迁。

Abstract: Based on the interview with new-middle class consumers in Shanghai, this paper shows that the family-mediated relationship between state and consumer is resolved and concealed in the complicate interaction among state, family and consumer. Nowadays, the tension between state and consumer can be observed in the following two aspects. Firstly, the weakness of societalization in the institutions of provision of public consumer goods causes the new-middle class consumers' relative poverty of disposable income and time, which hinders "de-familization" consumption, the explosion of effective demand of the new-middle class consumers and consequently the achievement of the national target of "expanding domestic demand". Secondly, in the promotion of state's individualization of the provision of public consumer goods, Chinese consumers, actually looking forward to "de-familization", have to face the reality of "familization" and fall into the entanglement of relationships among family members, which cast a shadow over the national governance target of "maintaining social stability". Therefore, the reconstruction of state-consumer relationship should focus on family and its change.
