抗争性政治中的群体差异与资源借用：中产抗争与农民抗争的个案比较
Group Differences and Resource Borrowing in Contentious Politics： A Comparative Study of Collective Action in China

中国已经进入群体性事件多发期，以城市业主为主体的中产抗争日渐增多，与传统的农民群体抗争事件形成鲜明对比。本文通过田野调查和深度访谈，分析了两个相互关联的案例，阐释了中产阶级、农民群体、媒体和政府之间的博弈过程。研究发现，农民和中产阶级两个群体在抗争形式、组织方式、媒体利用等方面存在显著差异，这些差异展现了传统抗争和现代抗争的区别，反映了不同群体之间的资源鸿沟。与农民相比，中产抗争的武器更加多元化，更具有去政治化的表演性和创新性，有能力塑造多元的话语结构和维持媒体的关注。抗争过程中，中产阶级和农民的利益和诉求交织在一起。这些差异使得中产阶级能够借用弱者的道义资源，进而塑造了媒体报道的不同文本，最终导致了两个截然不同的抗争结果。
：China has witnessed a rising number of protests in recent years. Different from conventional agricultural protests, these instances of collective action have been initiated by the urban property-owning middle class. Through field work and in-depth interviews, this study compares two related protests, one by farmers and the other by the middle class, and investigates the dynamics among these two groups, the media and the government. We examine the difference of these two protests in action repertoire, organizational mobilization, movement resources, and media discourses. We argue that these two cases not only reflect the distinction between conventional and modern collective action in China, but also illustrate the interactive mechanisms between these two types of protests. Compared with farmers, weapons of the middle class are more diversified, depoliticized and innovative. The middle class are more capable of constructing plural media discourses and maintaining media’s attention. During the process, the interests of farmers and of middle class were intertwined. The middle class successfully borrowed moral resource from the farmers, which led to differences in their respective media discourses, causing the two protests to end with different results
