借用后现代理论中“命名政治”的概念进行分析,20世纪80年代以来的中国社区建设实际上经历了从“社区服务”到“社区管理”再到“社区治理”三个不同发展阶段。不同历史阶段的社区建设皆可被视为一种“命名政治”的产物:它首先是作为一种命名的象征符号提出来的,然后社区建设被赋予了理想价值,以此来对照现实和建构现实,又在实践上形成了不同面相和侧重点的社区建设。这种作为“命名政治”的社区建设存在的诸多问题与风险,如理论准备的缺乏与碎片化实践并存、“命名”与现实之间存在过大落差、原有权力结构不断内卷化等等。应尽可能在进一步的社区治理实践中予以超越。
Borrowing the concept of post-modem theory of "naming politics", this paper analyzes three different stages of development for Chinese community building since 1980s, from "community service" via "community management" to "community governance". The community building in different historical stages could potentially have been seen as a prod- uct "named politics"--it has been firstly put forward as a symbol of naming, then the community building has been given an ideal value--in order to compare reality and construct reality. At the same time, the different facets and focuses of community building have been shaped based on the practice. There are many problems and risks in the community building as a "named politics". We should transcend them to the best of our ability in a further community governance practice.
