摘 要: 本文以广州中高端美甲店为案例地,采用质性研究方法,探讨美甲师的职业特性对其阶层与身份的建构与重构,以及其在不同空间转换下所进行的身份协商与阶层流动。研究发现:(1)在工作空间中,美甲师通过物质装饰刺激、身体消费规训以及与顾客的人际互动,激发了对城市高阶层的窥视欲望与现象模仿,实现了具化的阶层想象;(2)在城市空间中,美甲师通过身体与符号两个方面的消费"示同",无法实现身份重构与阶层流动,迫使她们采取"返回来源地"的空间策略;(3)在来源地空间中,美甲师通过展演"城市人"的日常消费、创业与改变居住地三方面的消费"示异",实现自我身份的转变与阶层跨越。研究拓展了阶层流动与女性地理学的跨学科研究视野。 Class mobility has been the research focus of social science.Existing literature has noted that the dynamics of Class mobility is inextricably interwoven with identity politics and emphasized how cultural capital and education promote class mobility,yet relatively less attention has been paid to how class identity is spatially constituted from a geographical perspective.In the context of China's rural-urban division,space always already implies the possibility of class mobility.This article explores how underclass achieve upward mobility through spatial tactics and identity negotiation.By deploying qualitative methods including indepth interview,participant observation and text analysis,this paper focuses on the identity politics of manicurists working at the middle and high-end nail salons in Guangzhou,and in particular how occupational identity facilitates and reconstruct their perception of class and how they perform and negotiate identity in different spaces.The article found that:1)In the working space,the material decoration,body consumption discipline and the interpersonal interaction with consumers have cooperatively stimulated manicurists'aspiration for high urban class and embodied their imagination of class;2)Although manicurists try to perform their similarities and urbanity with upper class through their embodied and symbolic consumption,they cannot achieve identity reconstruction and class mobility and integrate into space of urban class;3)In the hometown space,manicurists show their distinction with other rural workers by performing urbanity's daily consumption,entrepreneurship and different living space in order to achieve self-transformation and upward class mobility and businessmen at small towns.
