Swirling flows:Processes and mechanisms of everyday life practice of new urban-rural amphibious group
Under the background of the new mobility paradigm,transcending boundary activities continue to emerge,and"urban-rural"population mobility is particularly prominent.This article takes the new urban-rural amphibious group as the research object and adopts a qualitative research method to explore the process and mechanism of this group's daily life practice from the perspective of mobility.The study was informed by semi-structured interviews,participant observation,and secondary data collection with 20 individuals between April and July 2022.The finding are as follows:(1)The everyday life practice of the new urban and rural amphibious group in the countryside has experienced the contradictions between urban and rural areas,mobility and residence,livelihoods and lives,inner self and outer self,and rooting and leaving,and at the same time adopted the tactics of waiting for the opportunity,alternative production of consumption,avoiding but not fleeing,impression management and construction,and always on the road.The first four tactics are the core ideas of Desetu's theory of everyday life practice,and"always on the road"is a theoretical innovation based on the particularity of the new urban-rural amphibious group.(2)The contradictions of the new urban-rural amphibious groups in five dimensions together constitute a"swirling flow",which is not only at the material and relational levels,but also at the meaning level."Swirling flow"is a process of continuous generation,which embodies the process of new urban and rural amphibious groups'understanding of the meaning of their lives from chaos to clarity.It is a continuous exploration,approach,and focus on themselves.(3)Unlike the"pendulum flow"proposed by previous scholars,the daily life practices of new urban-rural amphibious groups in the perspective of mobility are constructed through the process of linking urban-rural amphibiousness with urban-rural complexity,and dynamics,and the external structural dynamics,intersubjective interactions,and group forces and group forces together constitute the generation of"swirling flows".This study opens the black box of new urban-rural amphibious group mobility by proposing the"swirling flows",which enriches the theory of everyday life practice and is conducive to re-examining and rethinking the urban-rural relationship,and provides a reference for the construction of a trans-local urban-rural governance system.
