摘要：

综合儿童的视角和结构的视角，可以对留守儿童研究中流行的问题取向叙说进行再平衡。基于在湖南乡村的田野调查，可以发现留守儿童充满矛盾的亲子关系体验，从而揭示出他们创造性建构的打工-留守情境下“爱而不亲”的亲子关系。在此基础上，可以进一步分析“爱而不亲”内在的情感张力是扎根于追求“过好日子”的家庭生活实践的，这样的生活实践既是物质性的，也是情感性的；既是被社会结构和文化所塑造，也是结构和文化变迁的推动力。

Abstract:

This paper aims to reexamine the problem orientation prevailing in extant research on left-behind children from a comprehensive perspective of children and social structure. Through the analysis of the qualitative data gathered from the fieldwork in a middle school and nearby villages in Hunan Province, this paper reveals in detail the mixed feelings towards migrant parents amongst the left-behind children and their agency in constructing their parent-child relationship of “love without affinity”. Furthermore, the emotional tension in this construction is rooted in their family practices to pursue a better life, which are both material and emotional. On the one hand, such family practices are shaped by structural and cultural contexts associated with migration; on the other, they provide an impetus for structural and cultural transformation.
